can I call another blog "update"?

Alright, I know I keep saying it. But I realize I need to get better at updating my blog. So hear it goes again, another promise that I'll do better...we'll see :)

It's official...Matt has a real job! We thank all of you who have been praying for us as we wait on God's plan. God made it all very clear to us about a week back when Matt received word from the White Plains job (down near NYC) that he hadn't gotten the job. Not 10 minutes later another offer was presented to him. He had interviewed 3 weeks earlier with the place he worked over the summer. Just that morning at breakfast we both commented that that particular job probably wasn't going to happen since he hadn't heard back. Ha...God had a different idea :) Matt has accepted the position and we'll be staying here in Rochester :) It was a clear answer to prayer and a clear decision to make.

Although the whole search was an emotional roller coaster I can't put to words how it helped to bring Matt and I even closer together. If that was the plan God had for all the questioning and wondering then it was well worth it.

Hmmm...what else...

Matt and I went to see the play Peter Pan this weekend. It was INCREDIBLE! The sets were immaculate, the singing outstanding and the special effects flying was unbelievable! And to top it all...the show was performed by middle schoolers. Matt's cousin goes to one of the Greece middle schools and was one of the lost boys (there were at least 50 of them, in addition to the 50 some indians and 50 some pirates!!!). We were in for a surprise when Peter Pan's entrance onto stage took him high above the stage!

Hmmm...what else...

Oh, I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories to share after this next weekend when Matt and I dog-sit for this little guy. John and Amy are heading out of town and asked us to take care of Beckett while they're away. Matt and I would love to have a dog, but can't in our apartment so maybe this will be a good substitute. We went over last night to learn all we needed to know to make sure he survives the weekend (or is it for our survival?). Amy had written her "sub plans" with Beckett's rules. I think he must have known something was up...he spent all evening trying to eat the plans. But hey, I guess you can't put too much past a dog who graduates from obedience school with honors.

Thanks for checking in.
