employment difficulties....

I know everyone is anxious to hear that I've procured a job. Well, sorry to burst your bubble....not yet. I had a lot of leads and a couple really good interviews. I finally had a verbal offer, but every time I've gone in to their offices to talk through the offer something comes up. They wanted me to start today, but as of Tuesday, needed to wait on a final approval for the position before we could even go through the offer. So maybe one of my previous interviews will come through in the clutch.

On to happier news, this last weekend Brian and I went to an ONU produced one act play - Suddenly Last Summer by Tennessee Williams. They gave us student prices (even me!), so that was nice. I read the play in college, it's kind of disturbing, but it was pretty well done. And, Monday night we had some friends over for Monday night football because the Packers were on. I made very tasty cupcakes and if you visit, I'll make them for you too.

This weekend we're going out for our friend Austin's (from Malawi) birthday on Friday. Then we're going to Columbus for the Wisconsin/Ohio game with Bill & Melisa. And, don't worry, Brian's been studying a LOT, so he's due for a little fun, and he's back to the library on Sunday!

I will close with a parting shot of my little bundle of joy!

Catch up!

Greetings!
We're a little behind in our blogs, but have much to report! Two weekends ago, we had a great visit from Jeff & Mary! They arrived on Friday evening, and we had an activity packed weekend. We went to the Red Pig Inn for ribs and came back to our apartment for games galore!

Saturday, we went to Van Buren State Park for geo-cacheing. (If you're not familiar with it - it's kind of like a treasure hunt with a GPS!) We followed some trails around the park - they even have a horse camp with horse trails. To the left is Brian and Jeff finding a cache.

After some finds, we went to a corn maze. It was very educational and space themed with questions to find and answer throughout the maze, with stamps to find too. We also picked up some pumpkins for later. Here's an action shot of everyone writing down answers.

Then we went to ONU to show off the campus and to watch the Homecoming football game of 1L's. The game was a teensy bit boring, just because we didn't really know anyone playing, and Brian's section lost. :(

Then we headed home for pizza and pumpkin carving. Pumpkin carving was very fun, and messy! After that we played some more games and regrouped Sunday morning. Sunday morning we squeezed in a few more geocaches and then jeff and mary were off. Thanks for visiting guys!!

Sunday afternoon we went to Tiffin, to do some exploring (and really so I wouldn't get lost going to an interview.) An update on my employment situation - I've had several promising interviews in the last 2 weeks, so I'm hopeful. I particularly liked some of the people I met at Tiffin University and at Owens Community College. We'll see what pans out.

Another update coming soon about Brian's Fall Break. (I'm always on Break!)
