Moving Along...

We're glad to report that we have received the new internet modem and so far so good. Yay for un-interrupted internet service!!! Things here have been moving right along....I'm still spending most of my time applying for jobs...it's very time consuming! I find myself coming up with little things to do each day to get me up, away from the computer, and into the real world. :)

This past Sunday after church, James and I went to see some beaches in the area with Joel and Amy. It was a wonderful day! We always love hanging out with Joel and Amy and it was great having someone show you where some of the hot spots are. We ventured to Newport Beach, a place called "The Wedge", and Laguna Beach. The sun was out and the temperature was in the 70s. What could be better? We had a fun and pleasant afternoon hanging with the Elwoods, chatting about life, and looking at one of God's majestic masterpieces. I've posted our pictures from the weekend excursion below.

Last week I was called and invited to come interview on Monday for a job. Though I've only begun applying for jobs I've found that I've been anxious, feeling as though the process isn't moving fast enough. It was encouraging to have this company call. So Monday bright and early I headed out to my interview. The company is about 15 miles from Burbank. From my experiences in DC I was prepared to enter a busy highway and sit in traffic as I slowly crept to my destination. I was a little scared too! It was my first time on the highways here driving solo.

I gave myself an hour and was pleasantly surprised to find traffic heading opposite the direction I was traveling. I arrived at my destination within 30 minutes, without getting lost. The interview went great and I met some really nice people. I've been asked to come back on Thursday for another, and final interview. I'm a little nervous but I'm sure that's normal. It's always hard for me to go into interviews, I feel like I'm trying to sell myself. It's so unnatural to me but I give it my best and learn to embrace the akwardness.

We praise God for all the blessings He's give us these past few days! Thanks everyone for your prayers! Please continue to pray for us, for our jobs, and for God's guidance as we move along.
