News!

Hello All,

Just thought I would update you all on some new developments. I decided to go ahead and start back to school next semester to work on getting my Masters degree, and I got accepted at Henderson. After talking to a few people I was offered a Graduate Assistanceship working in the Writing Center on campus. It will pay for my school and $2000 stipened per semester. Michael and I are really excited about it, because it gives me a new opportunity to make money until the baby comes since I won't be able to waitress at the truckstop much longer anyway. It's going to be really good for me, because if things go well, I may end up being able to teach some freshman english classes in a year or so, and that could help me get an adjunct faculty position after I graduate! Also, more good news: I won't have to work on the weekends anymore, so hopefully that means we will be getting to see you all more often!!
Anyway...just thought I'd share our good news! I know everyone is getting ready for school and other things to start, so I send you all my positive energies for the begining of your new year!!!

And don't have much updating to do on the baby front...I go back to the Dr. next week, and I think they have to do a lot of tests, so everyone be praying that those go well. Then, in 4 weeks I go back for another ultrasound!! Other than that....I only know that I am getting bigger and bigger by the day...I think the baby is a little bigger than a softball now, and I'm pretty sure I can feel her/him moving around a little bit sometimes! We are starting to work on the baby room and the new guest room this week.

That's all I've got for now....love and miss you all,
Jordan

P.S. Do any of you know anyone who might have some maternity clothes I could buy or borrow?? It's hard to find things that fit these days, and I have to have some dressier clothes to work in at my new job. I plan on going shopping in a week or so, but if any of you know anyone who might want to get rid of some maternity clothes or let me borrow them if they aren't using them now, any help is appreciated!!! Thanks!

  2. Haha!!! Thanks! We were really already planning on it, but it's been hard for me to get off work on the weekend since the cruise. Next weekend is my LAST! weekend at the truckstop, and then that next weekend we will be coming up there as far as I know now. That's the 29th. Unless I just don't get scheduled next weekend, but I'm sure I will be. But, after that, we'll be able to come up there alot more often since neither of us will be working on the weekends!!
    Can't wait to see you!
