I will start graduate school in the fall at Tech. I will be in the Marriage and Family Therapy program and I am really excited. Once I quit teaching and could think straight, I realized that the part I missed most about teaching was the guiding of the students. So I am going to become a counselor and I really want to focus on foster kids somehow. But I really want to focus on kids. Between then and now I get to spend lots of time with my little girl since God keeps shutting doors on jobs for me. He is speaking; I should start listening.
John is doing well. He has started a second job which was a great thing when I lost my job this week! But he is enjoying both jobs and says he doesn't have a problem balancing the two plus his family life. Emily and I miss him in the evenings, but know it isn't forever and it is good for our family.
Emily is perfect! We had her 18 month well check last week and she was 31 pounds and 34.5 inches tall! Our pediatrician says she will probably be 6'2" which means she will tower over her mommy! Hopefully we have a while til that happens and I can enjoy my 'little' girl for a lot longer. She is running and climbing all over everything and can say over 20 words. Of course most of them are in Emily speak, but John and I are becoming fluent very quickly and communication is getting easier.
I don't have any pictures to post that aren't of facebook! I will definitely keep up with this more often :)
