Will's had an interview yesterday with US Bank in Cerritos, CA, just a mere 5 miles outside of Long Beach. Hooray! According to him, it was a fantabulous interview. He reckons he nailed it. But we have to wait until next week to find out weather or not he secured himself a job. I feel like the Lord is doing some awesome things in our lives! Everything we've been praying for is slowly but surely coming to fruition and it's incredibly exciting.
For example: OUR CAR IS FIXED! For those of you who have not heard us complain about our '06 Passat, here is the scoop. Two years ago, on a trip to San Francisco, Will and I had been without a working vehicle for months, bumming rides from our friends and family to get to work and such,. Well on this little trip, an opportunity arose for us to buy a car. A nice one. One with leather seats, dvd player and a turbo engine. Hallelujah! The Lord provided us a car despite our lack of down payment and so-so credit. But 6 months after we bought it, it started having major problems. Like four-thousand-dollars-to-fix kind of problems. The main issue was that it wouldn't start on a regular basis. We would put the key in, the car would turn on, then die immediately. It would do this 6 or 7 times before roaring to life. And the problem got progressively worse to the point where the car wouldn't even acknowledge that we had put the key in, and there was no telling how long it would take to start. Kind of a problem when you have to get to work or you have to pee badly. Anyway, the point of this story is to tell you all, Volkswagen recalled our car and fixed the damn thing for free. FREE! And it's like we have a new car again! It drives better than ever and it starts up every time without fail. Thank you Jesus!
Another example of the Lords grace in our lives is that we've been blessed with a swell group of friends here in Anacortes. It makes me sad to have to leave them. But for the longest time, we were a miserable bunch, Will and I. Moping around the house on a Friday night, watching reruns of Family Guy until we were blue in the face. But now, thanks to miss social butterfly Kelly Deans, we are official bar rats. Not that it sounds like we've moved up in the world, but we are enjoying Anacortes at least.
Now remember I wrote about Will starting an accounting program online back in January? Well he finished his 2nd quarter a few weeks ago, did alright, and now he is in his third quarter... Though he has only completed one class each time, at least there is some progression. I have no idea how he's doing, really. He never talks about it and sometimes I forget he is even in this program at all. When I ask him how his classes are, he grunts and mumbles and says something along the lines of "Good, good, essay, chapter, discussion, midterm, good" and then changes the subject to Xbox games. Whatever. As long as he's not stressed.
So to recap, Deansies credit cards are payed off, our car is fixed, Wills job hunt is going very well as well as his accounting program and we are set to move to Cali is a few short weeks if the Lord continues working in our lives at this pace! Hooray!
Now for some fun stuff STATE FAIR!
