Hello all! I know it has been a while since I last blogged. Sorry about that. It is hard sometimes to think of things to say when life is not very exciting. However tonight I do have some new news.
Mike has been unofficially asked to become the lead tech for the whole plant at work. They will basically be creating this position for him. This is HUGE for us. His normal schedule is to work four days and then be off for four days. With this new position he will be working Mon-Fri from 8am-5pm. To understand how big this is for us you have to know that out of 13 years of marriage, Mike has worked some form of night shift for the last 10 years. This will be a huge lifestyle change for us. I think everyone has mixed feelings about this change, however, we think the pros out weigh the cons. We are really trusting in the Lord to direct this whole thing. We have been praying and hoping for some change for a while but didn't know in what form it would come. I really want Mike to #1-like what he is doing and #2- not have to work so hard physically. Some days his hands hurt so bad after a night of work that he can't fully bend his fingers. Plus, his back is always hurting him to some degree. My hope is that he will be able to use his mind more and his body less, although there will be some physicality to the job. So, please pray that the Lord would work all the details out for His glory and that we would not inject ourselves into things but let them happen naturally as He sees fit.
Rebekah is finally having her 9th birthday party on Sat. She is VERY excited. We have an overabundance of party supplies. While I was out shopping for party supplies yesterday my mom was in Anderson, SC for an appointment and also went shopping for party supplies. Needless to say, she is going to have a GREAT party! She has chosen Tinker Bell as her theme. We will have a pinata, play games and watch the new Barbie movie Mariposa. I will write all about it after the party.
Elizabeth is going to be studying the country of Laos for our home school International Dinner. She has to meet up with her friend Hannah tomorrow and talk about what they are going to do. They will also be meeting a couple ladies from that country to talk to them about life there. They will have to make a couple native dishes and do a report. I think this is a great cross-cultural experience for her.
I am starting to think about Rachel's 1st birthday and what I want to do for it. I don't really see the need to do a BIG bash but I want to recognize the day in some way. Maybe invite a few of our friends that have little ones over for cake. I think I would like to get her an activity table and one of those walking things that she can push. They can be pricey so we will see. If not both, then maybe one or the other.
Well, that is it for now. I will write again after the party.
Sending my love to you all,
Christina
