Hi everybody! We got a new laptop while we were in Charlottesville because our other one was broken and didn't like our attempts to fix it! We're having some problems, though, getting our digital camera to work with this new computer so there won't be any pictures this time.
As far as work goes, I temped a couple of days last week at a construction office, and John started yesterday at an electronics factory. John's working 3:30pm until 11:30pm, Monday through Friday for two weeks which should be interesting. I start on Tuesday at an insurance office as a receptionist for two weeks. We're both on the job hunt and are grateful for these temp jobs that allow us to wait a little longer for jobs we're interested in. There's a position opening up at the end of September at the Women's Center here in town that I'm hoping to get. John's gotten to meet with a few Penn State professors, too, to talk to them about on-campus job opportunities. Being such a small town, much smaller than Lawrence even, State College doesn't have a ton of job openings so it's going to take us a little while to find a good fit. I've taken a few teaching jobs at the Red Cross while I'm looking, but I don't want to keep doing that so I'll only be taking a few.
Darcy, Jamie, John and I are going camping this weekend about an hour and one half away from State College. The Notre Dame vs. Penn State game is here this weekend so I'll be happy to avoid all the chaos by being up in the mountains! Jamie's a fan, though, so I think we'll be sneaking back into the nearest town to have dinner on Saturday night and watch some of the game.
We love all of you and miss you. Please feel free to post in response to any of this or to tell us what you're up to. We definitely read them (thanks Grandma and Papa for your posts!).

03Just got back from taking Joe Ann Robertson to the doctor and came by to visit with Kathy for awhile. She looks so good and so thankful how well she is doing. God is good.
The Temp Jobs do fill the bill sometimes and does give you good opportunities in some cases. I worked for one in the school district in Richardson, TX and that was how I found the job that I thorougly loved.
Well, Pete will be off on another adventure this weekend. You all have a good time and enjoy.
Papa had a little hayfever this morning, but was doing better when I got home. We have just had showers, really need a good rain. Lots of stuff in the air.
Love you and we'll wait for your posting after the weekend. Papa and Grandma
Forgot to mention what a good nurse son John has been. We were laughing, he did not pass out at the sight of blood. Know you are probably reading this son John, so wanted to give you credit. Love, Grandma

Hey kids! I completely forgot that I actually had a blog on this site before. Amazingly enough it's still there. Might have to update it sometime. Looks like everything is going well since the move. Glad to hear things are progressing well. Got your new emails now so I'll have to start using those as well. Hope you have a good time on the weekend. Talk to you later.
