March....

What's been happening in March thus far.....

-Job Fair in Peoria: I took a half day off of work to go to a job fair in Peoria. I studied possible interview questions, made sure I had all my paper work ready, got an appointment on when I should come.......I did all I could. I went down to the fair feeling confident but nervous. When it came time for my 20 minute interview....the nervousness took over. I feel that I could've done better, but I know I did all I could. We'll see what happens. They said they weren't offering jobs at the moment anyway. Keep me in your prayers!

-Rhett's recital: That same week Rhett had a trip down to Tucson for a choir convention. He had to drive up Saturday night because on Sunday he has a performance. It was a crazy week, and he didn't get home til 4 o'clock Sunday morning. It snowed all night and all Sunday. Unfortunately, his parents were unable to make it up because of the weather. I'm glad he got home safe. He did his Junior Recital and did great! I was so grateful to those who did come to support him. He and another friend of ours, Casey, sang various songs. She did a fantastic job as well!

-Grandpa Penn: Tuesday, March 9th we got a phone call from Rhett's aunt and dad. His grandfather was in the hospital and they didn't think he'd make it through the night. The next evening, on the 10th, we received the call that he had passed away. It's been difficult. Rhett really wanted to go to Texas for the funeral, but we couldn't afford it. One thing that we are grateful for is the fact that we went to Texas over the summer to see his grandparents. We knew that his grandpa had been sick and that time was running out. It was a great visit, and I'm glad that we were able to see him one last time.

-Spring Break: We got to visit some friends in Tucson this past week. It was so fun! I also got to go to Rhett's sister's baby shower (Katie). She's due at the end of May and we're excited for the new baby!

Well, that's about it! I'm still filling out applications and crossing my fingers and toes! It's a tough economy right now. For anyone who's reading this, please keep me in your prayers! Thanks! More updates to come!!!
