in this interim of posts, we also got to take an anniversary trip! Travis and Sarah's parents oh so graciously loaned us their lake house in the Jasper, Ga area!!! it was one of the best trips we have been able to take since we got married! and the only one so far that didnt involve some kind of work ;) that trip was such a huge blessing! we were able to relax, be without any kind of timetable, nothing that had to be done, the chance to explore a new area.....oh the wonderfulness :) i did not want to come back at all...
so adam's interview yesterday went great! but we cant make any kind of plans until after they re-connect once the sept 15 extensions deadline is past....at least with this company. the guy also said that he would keep eyes and ears open for other opportunities for adam in that area :) and this hubby-o-mine is also still keeping an eye out for other options....so, still learning this waiting thing....

Time really flies doesnt it?
wow, it has really been a while since i have posted! sorry bout that folks!
since last we talked, i've gone on a road trip to New York to visit friends...talk about a whirlwind weekend... and on the way back, we dropped in on my grandparents. lovely visit, and my Pepere gave me his old camera! it is a really nice Nikon with several lenses and the flash and the tripod and the filters and can you tell i'm excited? lol so once i found some film (that was rather hard actually, target was the only place i found who still sells it!) it was time to experiment. up to this point, i've only finished 2 rolls but there is definite improvement between them. i really like this new hobby and am very grateful to Pepere for inspiring it!
then we helped to chaperon the youth group on the mission trip to LaGrange, Wyoming. that was a long drive, but we got a lot done and hopefully we were a blessing to the people there. the kids all worked really hard; we are proud of them :) the dorm we were told to paint actually survived hehehehe :P not too much paint where it didnt belong....lol (bill and karen made sure it got cleaned very well, btw) we took lots and lots of pictures while on the road to and from Wyoming (and in between). keep an eye on facebook for those, they will probably be on his page tho....
work has changed again for me...i now make the biscuits for breakfast, the salads for lunch, and wash all the dishes afterwards.....its been fun! but i do still miss the busy-ness of the drivethru. i just have a different busy-ness now lol :)
on the career front, adam has an interview tomorrow in birmingham! its finally happening! the last time it was scheduled, the car died (like really died, is no more) and he was rescued by a friend in the area until i got off work, but at least they got a phone interview, sort of.....here's to hopefully being able to make plans soon!
and yes, we are down to just my car....again....have i mentioned how much i like my car? and how much i really dont like to be taxied around? oh well, it is only for a time and a purpose...and i love that he still asks me if i would like to drive :) we split it anyway ;)
