Survived

I made it through last week.  Thank you to all who were praying for the energy I needed.  Good news came last week for our family as well.  Jeremy was offered a job with a company here in Columbus only a few minutes from our house!  He starts on Monday.  This is great for us.  I will say that I will miss all the ways he helped here at home while he didn’t have a job – cleaning, cooking, shopping, and sharing special daddy time with Madison.  It has been neat to watch their relationship grow.  On Friday he said it was a perfect day – sunshine, a glorious time walking the trails with Madison at a local metropark, finished with a long nap.  I am glad he ended with such a good memory, instead of one of those rainy-stuck-in-the-house days.  It will be another transition for us, but I hope it will be a good one.  Here is an evening hang out picture:

My parents came on Friday night to watch Madison so Jeremy and I could go out.  We had planned on going to a marriage class for the next 6 weeks at church, but it was canceled.  So, we asked them to come this week anyway, and we went out to eat and then to a movie (Courageous).  After the movie (around 9:30pm) we were trying to decide what to do, and only came up with going to a coffee shop.  The local uptown one closed at 10pm and Starbucks closed at 10:30.  We went to Starbucks.  I don’t think I could have made it much past 10:30 anyway!  It was good to reconnect. 

Saturday, Jeremy worked on fixing the community mailboxes while mom, dad, Madison, and I went to the park.  Here are a few fun pictures, including looking at a caterpillar on the ground.
