A quick update:
We had a great Christmas, random day trip to Fredericksburg, and New Year’s Eve.
The house is coming along, at its own slow pace. I am trying not to freak out in my eagerness to just have an open house already.
Work is still amazing and I’ve been hiring hiring hiring like crazy. Or at least working on it. I guess you could say I’ve been interviewing like crazy. Loving this new role so far.
Dan went on a business trip last week to New Hampshire and really enjoyed himself. He seemed to learn a lot, and I’m super proud of him for taking on more responsibility at work.
Last weekend we went on another long neighborhood walk in obscenely warm weather.
Our City Group has been awesome so far. Last week there were some birthdays so after dinner, cake and cupcakes were rolled out and “happy birthday” was sung. Our group is packed, but it’s a good problem to have. So thankful for these guys.
I started tutoring at CHAT last week. As soon as I walked in this little girl ran up to me and hugged me, and said to the volunteer coordinator, “I want this to be my tutor.” I did end up assigned to her, and her name is Harmony. She is so cute, though a little distractible, and she desperately wants to read well and to get all the rewards that come with it. I helped her through the first couple of chapters of Mr. Popper’s Penguins and was somehow completely exhausted afterward. I can’t wait to get to know her better throughout this semester.
Dan’s reading The Hunger Games.
Our church is electing deacons this Sunday — fancy! Our roommate went on a (successful) date. The cats are hissing at each other a little less. And we’re preparing to have more houseguests staying with us soon.
