Wowza! Its been 3 months since I last posted. Sorry for those of you who check in regularly :( So, its the eve of our first Hurricane, which may in fact turn into a tropical storm before it hits us. Only time will tell with that. I figured I'd want to be able to look back on this and remember that it happened in case I don't get back to the journal for awhile.
Its been an eventful summer. A fun trip to Michigan, along with an interview in Holland for Jared. Then we spent way too much time waiting to find out whether we were moving to MI or not - not is the answer to that. Not yet anyway. Jared continues to look, so when God is done with us here, he'll get a job there....or maybe in the next round of lay-offs which will probably be next fall sometime. He "made it" through the lay-offs a couple weeks ago, so I guess that's just another sign that God wants us here for now.
Jared and I had an amazing trip with my sisters, their husbands and my parents. We met up in San Juan, Puerto Rico and hopped aboard the Carnival Victory cruise ship. We hit St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten. It was such a great trip - one that would not have been possible without Jared's parents coming out to spend a week with our children. We are so grateful to both sets of parents for this vacation!!!
School starts for Eben on Wednesday....if we have power anyway.... He'll be in 2nd grade already!! Aliza has her preschool orientation that day too, and then starts on Thursday. Nora is going to preschool too this year. She'll go T and Th AM's, so that means I'll have 2 mornings a week all to myself. I just can't imagine that! I've already decided that I'm going to have to manage my time well, or it will pass too quickly and I'm afraid I'll have wasted the morning away.
On a strange note, this afternoon for some strange reason I experienced some vertigo and nausea. No idea what that was about, but it lasted for a few hours and had me in bed for a bit. I like to blame the Hurricane, but I really don't know what happened. All I know is I hope it doesn't happen again.
On that note, I guess I'll sign off. The kids are sleeping in the office tonight, and probably tomorrow night....well, I should say 2 of the kids are sleeping - Nora is still awake talking to herself. She's such a goof, and definitely the night owl of the 3. She of course gets up early with Eben, so I guess I can say she's like me. Or at least how I used to be. I was always the one that needed the least amount of sleep among my sisters.
Well, the beginning signs of Irene should be starting in a few hrs. We'll see how we fair...
