Here Comes Fall

I can't believe that it is fall already! I really don't know where summer went. Lately Jason and I have been spending a lot of time with our friends and family, which is much needed. :) We are so thankful for the support and group of people that we have surrounded ourselves with. This is me with some of my best friends, Darcy and Lizzie. I have known them both since kindergarten and first grade :) So thankful.We are going to need all that support as we embark on yet another year of substitute teaching. I will be working at Starbucks again, but will be leaving Wednesday through Friday open for subbing (we get benefits through Sbux so I'll be there at least 20 hours a week). Jason will be full-time subbing this fall. Starting in January he will be starting a program at Portland State to get his special education teaching endorsement. All the classes will eventually transfer to a master's degree...but for now we are going to work towards him getting another certification and area that he can teach in. We are working hard at being content with where we are at. We were hoping and praying that this year would be different for us, but here we go again...We went to the fair this year. It is always fun to watch the shows and people watch...there are a lot of interesting people at the fair (that's a understatement). We watched the acrobats and the hypnotist. We also got to pet some pretty cute little animals:)We have also been enjoying the funny antics of our sweet little kittens...here is a video of them "helping" me make the bed...

Praying for you guys, and this next year. we are so thankful for friends like you , who love each other and love the Lord- and show both by your lives. It's been encouraging this summer to watch you guys trusting the Lord and making decisions through prayer and unity instead of jumping at the first job opportunity that presents itself. Stay faithful, God has a plan for you guys and He's gonna bless you for waiting on His timing. Love you guys!


p.s. I thought you should know- we've had to watch you kitty video probably twenty times with West. He asks for it whenever we get on the computer and CRACKS UP every time :)
