Well it is chilly and the leaves are falling here already and we are so glad that the heat is gone! Jeff has been busy this month with two long out of town trips for work. First Jeff went to a region meeting for 4 days and I (Jo) couldn't go because it was the last week of my online class and thus super busy with homework and a final paper to write. Jeff also got to go to N.R.P.A. (for 5 days) again this year but work paid for it and he got paid like working a normal week. And of course we took a quick trip down to Boise for a preliminary job interview between the two trips. Although the competition looks tough for the position, Jeff really wants it and had an awesome portfolio to give each of the board members who were interviewing him. They really liked it and hopefully they will see Jeff's diligence, eagerness, and strong work-ethic and want him for the job. If it is supposed to happen it will, but only time will tell. If, although, he does get the position we would be moving again. Not only would we move again, but it would be before Thanksgiving. So, we will see what the Lord has in store for us. Stay here or move?
So, I have one quarter and two classes under my belt and the next two classes I get to take I actually get to do graphic design and drawing stuff! I am excited, but we had to spend a good chunk of change to get my equipment. I now have my software ($$$$), a digital drawing tablet ($$$), a scanner ($$), and of course some books ($). Jeff is really good about taking Calder out or away from me so I can work more efficiently.
I am glad the heat is gone, but we were so used to it that now it feels colder, even if it is in the 60's! We hope that everyone is doing well and invite anyone who wants to come to our house (where ever that may be) for Thanksgiving. But first you must have a fun Halloween and make sure and send us pictures of costumes! And check back here for our family costume photos too!
