Springtime

Hi Fam,

A little update from this side of the country:

Springtime is coming to Pittsburgh and it's lovely. The weather is 60 degrees, with a cool cloud-cover; birds are chirping and we no longer need our down coats! It may all change tomorrow, but I think that winter is on its way out.

I've found a permanent job! The temporary placement I'm at now will turn into full time within two months, and I've decided to keep it. I'm working for a relocation company as the admin assistant for a woman who runs the company out of her home. I was offered a job elsewhere last Friday, and when I mentioned that, she negotiated to match their offer; D and I prayed about it and ran the numbers and we think it's the best choice. She lives just 5 minutes from us, and only requires 30 hours a week. I'm so glad to be done searching, and so thankful that the Lord provided something stress-free, nearby and for just a few hours a day! With the extra time I hope to work for a local church, helping to plan one of their summer events.

David is working crazy-busy hours (10-12 a day), trying to write all of the papers and presentations before the semester ends in four weeks. Please pray for him. If you want to pray specifically, he has an hour-long presentation on Wednesday for one of his graduate seminar classes.

We had a GREAT time w/ Josh, Emily and Benjamin; they are such fun and easy-going guests. :)

love to all--

Lynn
