It's unbelievable! One moment it's snowing like crazy and 20 degrees and suddenly the wind is blowing in warm air and it's pouring rain! We had a high of 50 degrees yesterday, but mostly it's been about 40 all night with a constant rain. All our piles of snow are quickly melting away. Steve spent a few hours shoveling snow off the garage roof yesterday and now there is literally nothing on our driveway.
The puppies won't stay in their box! We keep finding them on the carpet. Tank goes home today or tomorrow so hopefully we can set up a different arrangement in the laundry room soon.
Steve is gone to work for the first time in about 3 months. Yeah! He is doing a couple shifts for Favorites in Omak so the girls and I are car-less while he is away for a couple of days. He went for an interview for the Resource Team position but ended up turning it down because of the hours. He really, really wants to go to the college and finish up the two classes he needs to have his BSN. He only needs two humanities classes. Unfortunately when he went to sign up for the Spanish class Monday they were already full and closed. He has been filling out job applications. Not sure what he will end up with.
Choir starts up today. I have been trying to get all my thoughts organized and have the music ready. We have a real opportunity coming up. All the ministers of all the denominations in the Valley meet together occasionaly and they often have a little program. It looks like we will be putting on their program in February. I am doing a lot of thinking and praying and reading and trying to write the ouline of the script. Things will be a little different in choir. Some of the boys have grown up to the point that they can decide whether or not they will be in choir... and well, choir is not necessarily a passionate pursuit for some as it is for others. Also, Cherub choir has been a real struggle for the leaders and moms and so without further ado we have let it go for the time being and I am allowing a few exceptional 6 year olds to join the big kids. Echoes of Heaven, our girl's group of 6 has been expanded to include a boy with talent and a new gal and now numbers 8. We look forward to great things for choir in 2009.
For those of you who have been praying for Sarah - the 16 year old flute player with acute leukemia; Sarah has had a close brush with death but while she is still in ICU and a very, very sick girl, she is off the ventilator and the ng tube. Keep praying for her. She has a long road ahead!
Rats!! We missed writing class and grammar class yesterday. We didn't know it had started already. Somehow we are out of the loop... (can't be 'cause we've been gone for 2 months can it?). Anyway, many tears have been shed (are being shed...) about that. Imagine!! Crying because you missed writing class!!! Must be good, eh!

It always amazes me that the weather can change so suddenly!
God bless
Sarah
