Wilds

I am missing Josh.  I didn't know it would be so hard.  I did get a picture of his roomates.  He of course already knew Wes, but his new friend Christian has been a welcome addition.  I am so glad they all get along. The pictures show them joining the same society.

This past week I spent the week at the Wilds.  I really enjoyed going.  It was different for me working with 10-12 grade girls, but this old lady did pretty well.  I did the zip line, which was incredible and the giant swing.  I hope I made a difference in their lives.

Changes

A lot of changes happening in our household.  I feel like through this entire process I am aging by 20 years.  If I had darker hair I am sure I would be totally gray by now.  My nerves are shot.  First of all, Jacob got his license this week.  I tried to put if off as long as possible, mainly because he always had Josh to drive him around, but taking them back and forth to school was getting too much (even though I am there I go and leave at different times).  On top of that, Jacob got a job at Bojangles.  I am so proud of his enthusiasm for this.  He had applied to Chick fil A so many times only to get turned down.  He applied at Dairy Queen and so many other places.  One night he went to Bojangles and saw that they had open interviews.  He also had an interview at Smithfields the next day.  We found out the Smithfields he was interviewing for was in Garner/Raleigh.  We weren't too happy.  When he got to the interview the guy would not even interview him without a work permit so he went over to Bojangles and got the job on the spot.  I love watching his enthusiasm.  I am not sure if I can handle this driving thing again, but I guess I should get used to it because Jenna is coming next in less than a year!!
     Our second change was taking Joshua to college.  He actually went down early because of his job so he was all packed in.  I didn't get any pictures except what Sara sent to me.  I will try to get a picture of his bed and all..  He is rooming with his best friend Wes and they also have a guy from MN.  They really like him.  Classes seem overwhelming right now but hopefully he can do ok.  I am hoping I didn't send him to the frying pan!!  Prayers appreciated for this mom whose nerves are completely in knots!
