HAPPY DAY!!!

It's my Hannah's SECOND birthday!!!!
Today was her party even though tomorrow is her actual birthday!
She had a Curious George party---since he's her favorite!

What a precious family!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

The best love note ever written was several thousand years ago
from Jehovah God to His children
in Isaiah 43:
"You are precious in my sight ... and I love you."

Okay.... everyone wants an update on our situation...
> josiah is looking daily for jobs. His last day is the 20th (next week).
He gets a couple month's severance pay.
> chandler's work has been steady...but is never a sure thing.
(like, he has no inspections for tomorrow)
> i will be doing weddings with Forte' Events----but we have none as of yet.
> I'm applying to substitute teach in a local Christian school
....but they may be overflowing with subs.
>> march 15th tiffany, the boys & i are going to georgia for about 3 weeks
to be with nathan & courtney for the birth....so i can't exactly get a real job yet.
> again, with so many people out of work i'm not sure there are
any part-time jobs available.
> housing:
- our rent house goes on Auction March 25th
- then there is a 10 day "grace period"
- then the paper work takes 30 days
- sometime during that time they will give us the specific date we need to be out.
> we are hoping it won't be before May 1st.....
so there's no point in finding something now because we can live here FREE until then!

I have my good days and not-so-good days. We are trying not to worry...but nonetheless feel a great deal of stress and pressure not knowing exactly what to do. I think those are the times we are to be very still and wait until the Lord opens up a door ...so we won't go in the wrong direction.

Thank you so much for your concern and prayers. It's our friends who are holding us up to the Lord that means so much.

In the olden days you could always go to the "poor farm"---but i've yet to locate that on a map in 2009!!!
Maybe Mr. Obama will send us a check.
