Blessings from the Lord

I have felt very blessed this past few weeks. Even though Carl was sick, he did not get too sick as we caught it in time. Then last Tuesday, Brian was in a meeting and happen to hear there was a paraprofessional opening at the high school. I was able to get an interview on Wednesday and was offered the job on Thursday. I started on Monday morning. I greatly enjoyed my first week.
Carl is really enjoying that I now walk him to the Elementary school. We were surprised that he was so excited for me to get the job. The only problem is that I had to give up volunteering in Carl's classroom, but his teacher understood. Besides the fact that the weather was below freezing, I have really enjoyed our morning walks.
Brian was also selected as a chaperon for the Scotland exchange at the High School. He is so excited as he had such a great time a few years ago. So, now I am planning a "sister trip" for that same time. The funny thing is: it took Brian a week longer than me to realize he was going to be gone for our 10th wedding anniversary!! (But don't feel too bad, we had not planned anything as we wanted to save our money for Ireland next year!!) Now our only hope is that the economist are wrong and the dollar doesn't tank so much that international travel will be very expensive.
So, if you thought I was bad before, I will probably be terrible now.
