The Waiting Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

(press the title link)

I heard a wise man once sing, The waiting is the hardest part. Tom Petty, you were right! I heart that guy... anyway! Joe and I are still waiting on call backs and a job offer, trying to keep our hopes high and attitudes positive. It does get hard sometimes but I think so far we have been doing a good job together.

This last weekend we got to help celebrate with our best friends at their baby shower, she is due mid July and we can't wait for the little boy to arrive. We also got to spend fathers day with Joe's Aunt and Uncle who we are staying with, and their daughter and her husband. We had great ribs he made and a really yummy blueberry dessert with ice cream which we all enjoyed in a bit of darkness being that the power decided to go out as we sat down to eat. It was really nice to enjoy that day with family but I think mine and Joe's hearts were in different places missing our Dads.

We are really excited to see Joe's sister Ruthi and her husband Matt tomorrow, bright and early! =) Haven't seen them in over a month now!

Joe has made it to the next round of interviews for George Fox, we are hoping Joe is excepted there to complete his MAT (Masters of Art in Teaching). They have a wonderful program for working adults that is once a week at night and a Saturday about once a month. This program will take a total of 22 months.

Me... what have I been up to? I joined the local YMCA (you want to sing the song don't you! Its OK, go ahead no one can hear you) and have really enjoyed getting to work out there, when I get over there =/ its a bit of a drive for me. Uhm, I have been hanging out with my best friend Vanessa and trying to help here around the house since she is so close to having that baby! I love to take the dogs to the beautiful dog park down the street from us.

Not much else I can think of, sure seems like we have been busy though.

Hope all is well with everyone!!

Here are some fun pictures from our trip to the Zoo a few weeks ago, this polar bear was crackingus up plaing with a bucket.
