Just Checkin' In

Hello, everyone!  This has definitely been the longest time I've gone without blogging on a consistent basis...and I've missed you all!  I feel like a part of me is missing.  So, I thought I'd give you a quick update on what's been happening 'round here.

First of all, the job I mentioned that Chris was interviewing for and we were expecting an offer from didn't quite pan out.  Chris said it was one of the most difficult interviews he'd ever been in...like he'd been thrown through a meat grinder.  So, taking into account how uncomfortable he felt, we both think it was a blessing in disguise that it didn't work out as we'd anticipated.  Don't get me wrong...it would have been nice to have had this stressful load lifted from out shoulders, but I don't think Chris wanted to work for "that kind" of company.  He has had some other promising interviews recently that we should hear about this week or next.  God is remaining ever faithful and we continue to trust in Him.

Abby starts to high school as a freshman on Aug. 8th.  She has Open House on Friday.  We've been trying to get ready for this big step as best as we can.  I think she's a bit nervous about attending one of the largest high schools in Georgia, but I feel confident that she'll find her way just fine. Brittany leaves to head back to Mobile on Aug. 14th.  She'll move into her apartment on the 15th.  We'll all probably have to drive down with her and help her get settled.  She's more than ready to get back in the swing of things, especially now that she won't be running on the team anymore.  She'll have a lot more flexibility. As for me...don't know if I'm quite ready for a "quiet" house, again.   

So, as you can see, things haven't slowed down a bit!  I promise, as soon as everything gets back on track (and I it WILL), I'll be back on here in full force! You can't get rid of me that easily!  Hope each and every one of you is doing well and you've enjoyed your summer to the hilt!  Take good care, friends...hope to see you sooner than later!
