when i feel sad....i think pink!

ok, my title doesn't really have anything to do with my post. but pink really does make me feel better. i just bought the cutest pink argyle backpack, and it made me smile :) anyway...i wanted to update as to what was going on in our lives. as of friday we are both unemployed. adam quit his job, and will be going back to school in the fall regardless of what other plans we make. he also might be working part time if need be. i am still unemployed and have had four unsuccessful interviews. i have applied to about three jobs at the beach and those would be wonderful! they would make adam's schooling a little challenging, but we could figure it out. :) we are leaving to spend almost a week in portland tuesday, and then we are leaving for cali on friday. we have a super fun trip planned, and i am terribly excited about it! it is going to be the extreme team going down (for those that don't know...that is what jeff, jan, adam and i call ourselves). we will be driving for several days and at the end of the trip will leave jeff down in cali to go to college. so, it will be bittersweet for me...i sure am going to miss him :( when we get back from cali if i still do not have a job we will start planning what we are going to do next. we have several choices that we will be weighing out:

a-adam goes to BMCC, i sub in pendleton, and we live with his mom another year.

b-we move to corvallis, adam goes to OSU, and i try to sub in that district.

c-we move back to milwaukie/clackamas area, adam goes to PCC/Mt. Hood, i try to sub in the north clackamas district.

a is obviously our safest choice, the other two are financially risky since i am not guarenteed any work. letting me be a sub is up to the district, getting called each morning is up to the district, and there is no stable money for sure. we will not be making this decision until we get home. as for now we are focusing on our upcoming vacation, and i am not going to think about jobs for a couple weeks...just give myself a break! :) keep praying since we are so unsure about where God wants us.
