This one's for you!

My friend harassed me today about my lack of blogging. She wants something to do when she is goofing off - so Redblur, this one's for you. (and perhaps your Dianthus barbatus, too?)

Well, the news I alluded to in a previous post turned out to be no news at all. I had applied for a job within my company, and while assured I would probably get the job, once again I was the runner-up. I am not overly sad; I really had no great desire to be a purchasing agent. I really love my job, my boss, and what I do, and am happy to stay there until God provides me with another opportunity.

She-who-must-be-obeyed is doing well. She is back to her normal self, and is eating everything she can get her lips around. She is even trying to get Corkey's food away from her, and growling if Corkey comes sniffing her dish. (Isabel usually leaves Corkey a bit of her meal to snack on, so Corkey is really upset by this turn of events.) She is a fun girl to have around, and we are very glad that all went well with her surgery. Her pathology came back, and the tumor was Stage 2 Cancer, but they believe that they got everything and there will be no follow up treatment needed. Good news over all. We will just need to keep an eye out for other tumors, and have them removed as soon as we can.

I have finally made solid plans to start school. I will begin the first week of March, and will take two classes this semester (2 8-week classes). I am excited and just a little worried. I know how stressful this can be, and yet I really want to start (and finish:) ) my MBA.

We are heading to Sevierville, TN next week for the first Synod of our new diocese (which, to my delight, includes Virginia!). I love that part of TN, and am excited to visit again. (Peg, I will think of you and our trip while there!) I hope to get to do a little sight-seeing / shopping. We will be there Wednesday, and Thursday night, leaving Friday afternoon. It should be a good time.

The car is currently in the shop having its damage repaired. If you don't remember, Keith backed into a pole this summer. It was after I had been let go from my job, and the first time we had gotten his prescription without insurance. The conversation went something like this:

M: Your meds cost $40.00.
K: What?!??!
[BAM]
K: What was that?

Okay, I hope that this is enough, Redblur, it's all I have right now. Please continue to pray for our friends, the Hayes'. Mr. is still waiting for a heart, and Mrs. and the boys need our prayers, too.
