Dan is now 30!

Dan's 30th Birthday was on Sunday, November 9th. We gave him a big party Saturday night and 40 friends and family came to join us. Including my parents and Kylie and Jesse who flew in for the event. It has been fun spending the weekend with everyone.

We have no news on the house, still now showings. Our next through is it rent it out. I'm leaning towards a Jan 1 date but am still waiting for Dan to decide what he would like to do. Everything has been slow and getting a bit frustrated. We have even talked about Dan heading out on his own for a month or two.

Dan started a new part time job. He is now tutoring after school at Silvan Learning Center. They were excite to get a guy with a math degree who actually still remembers how to do it to join the team. I don't think they have a regular schedule worked up yet but at least it will be a little cash coming through. He's also looking into possible doing a little substitute teaching. It's hard to know what to do if we are going to leave in the next month or two. Again, more decisions.

Dan and I just started leading a new Sunday morning group at church. Our topic is Following God's Will. We are to come with a decision we are trying to make in our life and we will explore what God's Word says regarding his desires for our lives. Yesterday went really well and we were excited to see 8 others join us. It will be fun to see what Dan learns from this group. :)

I'm going on a 5 day quilt retreat this weekend!! I'm so excited, it's our longed one yet. I figured if it was going to be my last then it may as well be a good one, right? We take off around noon on Friday and head up to Camp Lebanon in Upsala, MN. We will then stay there until Tuesday doing nothing but quilting, eating great food, giggling until late hours into the night with little sleep. I know, your jealous right? :) I'm really looking forward to it. There are going to be 12 of us in our group out of the 150 women at camp that weekend.

This is probably enough info for you all at once. Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. It's been hard to share when there isn't much to share in the areas we really want things to be happening. I do have one request though, please don't try to be funny in telling us that you are praying for our house Not to sell. This is starting to become a real sore spot for me. It's ok if you are sad that we are leaving, this is wonderful to hear but this is something that both Dan and I really want to do.

Thanks for reading! I hope you have a great week.
