NEWS! I have gotten a full-time nanny job!! WootWoot!!! :) I was talking with/had offers from several families, and it was hard to pick the best fit, but I think we've found it! It is for a 3mo old boy 50hrs/wk here in Pasadena. Thank you for all of your prayers as we've been searching - but don't stop! I am pretty nervous! I've never cared for an infant full-time, so there will be all sorts of new challenges (I've got my baby book reading cut out for me!). I was also extremely torn about leaving VS because I've worked really hard to get to where I am and love what I do there, so I am hoping to be able to keep a few hours on weekends and continue that (plus it'll give me some adult contact!). So with all of that (say, 60hr/wk total), I'm hoping I don't get too stressed and still have time for some down time/fun! :) (feel free to send me a message/call if you want to know more specifics about the job and more specific things to pray for!)
Luckily, we've gotten to enjoy some time with friends lately! On Saturday, we had a get together with young families (which meant lots of babies!) from the church. Then, on Sunday, my dad flew in for a little visit!!!!! He had a conference in Carlsbad (just north of San Diego) so he thought he'd stop by to see us, too! On Monday we drove down to Carlsbad and went to the beach (FREEZING!), then he treated us to some froyo and we dropped him off at his conference. Sad it was so short, but at least we got to see him for a few hours!! - Can't wait 'til my mommy can come now!!!! (17 days 'til Jill comes andddd Nathan just booked a flight thanks to a great deal on groupon, and he'll be coming in about 3 mos!!!) We got those amazing Lone Star cheese fries on the way home again, and then . . .
VISITED A FRIEND FROM BETHEL!!! My friend Jessie (actually, we were housemates for a semester) lives about 30mins away from us, and we had been wanting to hang out for awhile. As we drove to Carlsbad I noticed on street signs that we were driving through her town!! So, instead of heading down to San Diego for the evening, we drove back up and hung out with Jessie!! What a blessing to see familiar face (and such a beautiful one at that!)!!! We enjoyed just chatting and catching up on life! We will definitely be doing that again soon!! It was awesome :)
So, we're happy to report that everything is going well! The new job couldn't have come at a better time. Nor the visit from dad or trip to see Jessie! I think we were now over that 3mo honeymoon period from moving to a new place, so the friendly faces were just perfecttt :) We hope you all are well and loving life also!!!! God bless :)
