Are you tired of updates yet?

You've got to be tired of these "updates". I've tried to add some more interesting posts today first, but several of you have asked for the "update" too, so here you go! :)

* Job - We are travelling down to SC next weekend (Jan. 30-Feb. 1) for a second round of interviews. When the pastor called David this week, they reaffirmed that they had great chemistry between him and the rest of the team and were very excited. They wanted to give him an opportunity to come back next weekend and have a bit more time with the choir this time. Last time we went down, David was literally given about 5 minutes with them. So we'll have more of an opportunity to do that next time. So we're excited about it. We're planning to drop the kids off at Beth's house in Raleigh for the weekend - so you can start praying now for Beth & Anthony and the 6 kids under 6 they'll have for the weekend! :) Man, will I owe her big! I guess my payback will be when I get all her kids while we cheer her on for the Shamrock Half-Marathon!!

* House - Officially on the market now for about a week and a half. Had a showing last weekend that went very well. The man actually used the word "Perfect" - I LOVE to hear that!!! Their agent said they are still discussing, but that our house was in their top 3. David's been praying that we get a job offer and a house offer in the same day -wouldn't that be something? Anyways, it hasn't been TOO terrible having the house on the market yet. My biggest annoyances are having to have the sink completely emptied of all dishes by 7:45 am, and not being able to have laundry out - which is ALWAYS in the constant state of being washed, folded, put away, etc.

* Baby #4 - All is well. Still feeling sick (that won't go away, so you don't have to feel obligated to ask...it's okay, I'm used to it...4th time around you just get that way). Still pretty tired, but that probably won't go away either. I feel like my stomach has definitely begun to pop out. Sad but true. Still running, although my speed has slowed. That's a big frustration to me, but it does still feel good. Kids continue to be excited about it. A week or so ago, we were at a restaurant for a school fundraiser and we were waiting to be seated. The lady came and asked how many were in our party, and I told her "4 plus a baby (so she'd bring us a high chair)". Josiah said "No mommy, 4 and 2 babies - except 1 just isn't born yet!" What a sweet big brother he will be to this new little person. I'm 13 weeks along now, and the news is definitely OUT!!
