We have finally started our job hunt in earnest. Please pray for success – that we find the jobs God has waiting for us here.

I applied a few days ago for a job at King University – manager of a group of students who call prospective students and help them decide to attend. They need someone with good management and organization skills. But no word, yet. I also made flyers to take around to churches regarding being a substitute pianist. And I have a personal training sign in the windows of our car. I also talked to the manager of the music store a couple blocks away and I can teach there if I want, but I would need to provide my own keyboard to teach on. By the time I have my keyboard, I’ll be able to teach from home! But at least I made a contact there. The guy is really nice, but it is definitely a guitar, mandolin, fiddle store!

Dad is applying for three positions today. Some are more management and not just nursing.

We got A LOT done when Kylene and Justin were here this weekend. They arrived on Thursday and we mostly chatted and planned. Then we worked all day Friday on wiring and on Saturday worked on beefing up the support of the dining room and porch in the basement, as well as putting in some headers over openings on the main floor. Kylene and I also went to the Farmer’s market and explored the downtown a bit. It was an awesome weekend and now we are exhausted!

Prior to their arrival, we finished the bathroom, except for the flooring and caulking. And we installed a new 36″ front door, which we moved a bit to the side of the original placement, to give us a tad more room for chairs on the porch. Before and after pictures of that, but from different angles. We still have not put the siding on the porch, so we don’t have an outside after picture.
