Still waiting- patiently?

I thought that I was a pretty patient person- until now. The whole idea of "waiting" to find out if I get this reading improvement job is tough. They told me that I would know in 2 weeks and it has been a week and a half. I really want this job, but am constantly reminding myself that it may be ME that wants this job- but not God. When I start anxiously thinking about this job and really desiring it, I stop and pray about it and then start thinking about something else. At least I will know soon enough. I actually found out today that a candidate that interviewed for the part time reading improvement position found out already that she did not get the position- by email! Eek. Right now I am believing that no news is good news- right? What if I got that email too, but I accidentally erased it?! Oops!

Proverbs 3:5,6- Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, acknowledge Him in all of your ways and He will keep your path straight. (I don't have my Bible on hand- but this is the gist of it)

Anyways- Madison had her "Last Slide" at preschool and I am so glad that I was able to be there. Each child at the preschool slid down the slide and received a red flower to take home and plant. Here are some of the pictures that I took on this special day!

And with flower!

Here is the cupcake cake that Grammy bought to celebrate Madison officially becoming a KINDERGARTENER! It's 2 white cupcakes with A LOT of frosting. Joyce- I bet that you could EASILY make this!

And one more piece of news- today Madison got her ears pierced! We decided to go to the mall and walk around since Daddy wouldn't be home for dinner since he was flying. We have talked a little bit about getting Madison's ears pierced, but thought that we should wait until she was a little older- and Madison thought so too. Well, we ended up changing our minds. She chose little sparkling stars and they look adorable on her. She did cry when they were pierced, but after a few minutes she was fine. I took pics on my phone since I did not have my camera with me, but I am not sure if I will figure out how to download them. We already turned her earrings and put the "medicine" (cleaning solution) on them and she was fine. She is SO excited to have her ears pierced and said that she would definitely do it again even though she cried.

Lastly- Archie is doing an AWESOME job with his flying. He has 40 hours over the flight hours needed to get his license, but still needs to complete a few items such as flying at night and going over 150 miles cross country. After that is all done, he will be completing his test on the computer and be done! He wants to fly the both of us down to a wedding that I am standing up for in August- we'll have to see, but he probably will if we are able to borrow his dad's plane. Crazy but exciting!

I hope to share some really good news with you in the next few days- until then!
