Quick Update

Here's some info for those of my loyal friends who notice when I fail to keep my blog current!

Great News!

Lyndsey and Michael Martin are expecting a baby! This is truly a God thing, as those of you who know their story are aware.

And, my sister Amanda and her husband Ben are on their way from Boston back to Seattle. We cannot wait to see them again and have them nearby for babysitting. (Just joking, it's your friendship we treasure not your childcare!)

My contract as a Teaching Assistant at Mars Hill Graduate School was renewed with an increase in hours and an increase in pay. I'll be the personal TA for Dr. Roy Barsness, who I really enjoy and learn a lot from.

Good News!
I'm headed out of town to Astoria, Oregon with my sister Randi and all 9 kids to visit my father and brothers. We've been invited to the 50th Anniversary celebration of a dear couple Randi and I have known since we were little girls. So we are taking a road trip without the guys (Chad is in Connecticut with the Coast Guard Academy and Mike works Sundays!).

Sasha and I had a better day at math yesterday. We're taking the weekend off and looking forward to better days ahead. I' m learning all about incentive (versus threats) and things are looking brighter today.

Thanks for tuning in!
