We have a busier than normal schedule due to all the church events we have going on. Both Amanda and Ashley are in Sacrament preparation classes this year; Amanda for First Reconciliation (Dec) and First Communion (Easter), and Ashley's in year 1 of 2 for Confirmation. So, just in the month of September, I had 4 various meetings relating to this. Last night I spent 2 hours organizing a schedule for Amanda's activities that works for 4 families. Not an easy feat... For Amanda, we have weekly meetings for the next 6 weeks; for Ashley, it's twice monthly until May. Thank goodness we have David back home to help with driving, or whatever! This process has been good for me too, and allows me to spend one-on-one time with each of them. Sometimes getting dinner eaten and getting out the door on-time is challenging, though! Getting it made isn't the challenge so much, but sometimes David gets held up at work, or in traffic! Gotta love the cities!
David returned back to his civilian job on August 15th. All is going very well. He's proven (again) that no amount of time away from the job seems to slow him down, and picks right up where he left off. Originally when hired at the state, he was given a "temporary position". Usually people have that about 1 year and then either leave or get hired "permanently". Although his boss had every intention of keeping him. He's only spent about 6 months actually at his job thus far. His boss' boss said he had more than proved his worth recently and waived the remaining temporary period and made him officially permanent. Kudos, honey. I remain ever so proud...
Recently I attended a life-long friend's Pampered Chef party, which she did as a fund raiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of her late father. Then I come to find out that her mother recently learned she has breast cancer.... Enough already! Luckily, it has a 95% cure rare. I feel like these people are an extension of me, and my family. Please keep them in your prayers.
