I love Spring



I looked out my bedroom window today and said "oh my goodness!" I actually said God but I am having a weird internal dilemma about typing that out here. Is that weird? Anyway...notice the tree.




These flowers literally popped out of nowhere.



I think it this is one of the most awesome things. One day you see a tree with little green leaves and the next day, your street is lined with hundreds, thousands (millions?) of white flowers.



It took my breath away. One of the many reasons why Spring is my favorite season.

What's New

1. I got the job that I interviewed for on Friday. Craziness! It is still sinking in and hard for me to believe. Out of the 25 positions I have applied for in the last few weeks, this is the job that I wanted most. I am looking forward to being back in Northfield and reconnecting with some of the people I used to work with. With all of the uncertainty that has been going on in our lives, it feels really good to have something (almost) settled.

2. Matt and Alyssa are leaving for the Peace Corps! They set off for Fiji on May 19. I am excited for them and also a little nervous. I have yet to sit down and talk with either of them about this since we missed the Wolf Easter and that is when they announced it. Luckily, they are having their Wolf children get together this weekend at their place!

3. We've had one showing on our house in the last couple of weeks. Looks like it is not going to happen for us this round - which I am completely fine with. We are going to take our house back off the market at the end of April.

4. We've spent the last couple of weekends in Fergus Falls. Patty fell and broke her wrist which landed her in the hospital for a while. We went up there a bit early to help out with things. On Saturday morning many family members were there and we ended up gutting and cleaning the whole house. It was quite the accomplishment and also fun teamwork!

5. Lastly, some photos of the neices and nephews...



....beautiful Claire..



...Charlie was laughing hysterically at Matthew. I love that kid.



...yes I asked them to hug, because you can't beat the cuteness of 2 year old cousins hugging!

Operation: Find a Job

It is 4:29 on Friday, April 9th and I just got home from my first job interview on what may be a string of interviews during the course of Operation: Find a Job 2010. Wahooooo! It is nearly impossible for me to ever say an interview went well and while I didn't hit a home run on this one, I think it ended up on the better side of fine. :) :)
