Still Searching

Here's a quick update for those of you who like to be updated. :) Jonathan and I are still searching for a house. We've looked at quite a few and I'm ready to start making some offers! But Jonathan wants to check on a couple more before taking the next step. So, I'm trying to be patient with him. ;) He is liking his job so far. His hours are pretty flexible and he gets out early sometimes, which is great! I've been looking for a job half-heartedly. I'm not sure what I want to do. I'm not getting bored yet, what with all the babysitting and stuff my in-laws keep me busy with! Last week I learned how to make homemade applesauce. Wow, what a chore! It was worth it, though. I made about 18 jars for myself, so hopefully that lasts me the year (yeah, right). If any of you come visit us in MI, I'll be sure to let you try some. Just so long as you rant and rave about how wonderful it is! Jonathan and I also signed up to help with Awana, which begins tonight. That should be fun. As a side note, we do have a prayer request. Jonathan's cousin, Gabe, is fighting over in Iraq. We received news the other day that he was injured in a bomb and received second and third degree burns on 30% of his body. He has been flown back to Texas where he is recovering. The good news is that he seems to be in good spirits and that he is safe now. He is a couple years younger than Jonathan and has a wife and two small children. Just pray for them, too, during this time. Other than that, things are going pretty good. Our closing went wonderfully in Chicago. We couldn't believe how smoothly it went. God is so good! We feel so much better having that taken care of. It makes it easier to buy a house when we don't have to worry about selling ours first! We're hoping to get a great deal, seeing as how it's a buyer's market right now. Until next time...
