Our Jungle

So the weather here has been everything but summer like in the past few weeks. As a result we haven't been able to get out to the yard to weed or cut the grass, and its gotten pretty wild! Missy enjoys being a "jungle cat" though!

Finally on Saturday we got a nice break and had a gorgeous day! Tony even ventured out.


Other exciting Tony news is that Janelle had a friend, Kasie, from Bellingham come down for the weekend and Tony hung out in the living room for a long time while she was there! Progress!

Otherwise, the past few weeks have been pretty crazy, Janelle went through an extensive interview process for a job and was finally offered the position! Unfortunately part of that process included needing to move the baby we had placed with us because there was a conflict of interest with having that specific child an this job. So again we had just a three night placement.

Janelle put in her two weeks at her current job last week, which she is glad on many fronts to be leaving, but it is bitter sweet since the families she works with depend on her so much and she knows it will be difficult to say good bye. But she will not miss the long hours, unsupportive environment and being on call 24/7! The new job is a pretty significant pay cut, but at this point it is worth it to minimize the extreme amount of stress Janelle has been under.

So there have been a lot of changes lately, but we are both confident good things are in store for us!
