No more Sadie

Well this weekend we gave our new dog up. We were really struggling whether or not to keep her. We were getting really attached but all y'all who know Raider knows how much of an only dog he is and he started acting up because he wasn't getting all the attention. We found this home where this 8 year old girl was going to keep her as her own which will give her some responsbility.

Andrew still hasn't heard anything else from the church. We're just going day to day. It's pretty difficult on him.

It felt really weird not being there for the reunion. I'm glad things went well, I thought they might fall apart since we weren't there, lol! We've actually been pretty boring all week. Oh but I did see a movie for the first time that I've heard was just a classic..."The Godfather" (only the 1st so far though). I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed it!

Invisible fence is going in the week so no more scares from Raider thank goodness!! That's good news. Well that's about it. I can't wait to see y'all again!! I love you and miss you like crazy!!

Good News..

Well Andrew had his 3rd interview with the same church yesterday. He was taken out to eat by the head pastor. It went really well, but with it being a baptist church up here it's still going to be a little while before a decision is made. So thank you all for your prayers. It's coming to an end one way or another finally. Andrew's just been very down lately because he doesn't feel worthwhile about anything because he's not working.

I hope everyone had a great Easter! We went up to Maine to visit his oldest sister and husband. It was very relaxing and low-key. It was really nice. It was the first time that his entire immediate family was all together on a holiday. It felt very weird not being home but it was the next best thing.

Sadie's leg has healed up very nicely and fairly quickly. Even the vet is surprised to see how quickly. She is getting long amazingly with Raider. They are really funny to watch together.

I did something yesterday for the very first time at work...I drew blood from a dog from the jugular (or however you spell it lol). I was the one who actually inserted the needle and took about 4 inches high of blood. It was really an awesome feeling!! It was neat because the other 2 vet techs and the actual vet stopped what they were doing (didn't answer calls or anything) and all took the time for me to actually learn how. I felt really special!

Well I joined a softball team up here. We start in a couple of weeks. I am really excited about that. It's from May-September. I'm like heck yeah. And apparently the head coach is a christian which is basically extremely rare up here. God is defintely looking out for me! :)

Well I miss you all so much. I'm ready to come back! I love you and look forward to hearing from y'all!!!

Fun times

Well we had a pretty good weekend. His sisters and some cousins went with us to a bouncy house type of thing. We played for like 2 hours and were completely exhausted. It was a lot of fun. They had an oversized basketball with a huge net and I had to school some of his family members lol. I had to show my amazing blocking out technique. I might have injured one or two but hey no pain no gain!!! Then they came over and hung out until about 1 in the morning. I was like okay guys you have got to go home!!! We went to see his dad's mom yesterday morning. She is truly losing her mind so it was really hard to see her like that for them. Then it was Austin's birthday yesterday so there was a big party for him turning 3. He was hilarious! His dad (who is the cop) bought him a cop outfit with a belt and everything. He decided that everyone should be in handcuffs!

Well Sadie is doing so much better. She had a very invasive leg surgery on Wednesday. I actually was able to assist in the surgery by literally holding onto the bone as he drove the screw into it. I learned a lot so that was pretty cool.

We still haven't heard anything about Andrew's interview which we're really not that surprised about. I'm starting to get frustrated with this church. I understand taking a while to find the right person but do they not understand how crucial this position is for children?!?!?!? Anyway, I ask that y'all continue to keep him in your prayers. He is really getting frustrated. Well I'll talk to you soon...love you all so much!!
