Let Me Ease Your Minds

Well, I can't remember a time when a statement of mine has brought on so much concern. I mentioned about Kenny putting in for a job in South America and you wouldn't believe the people I heard from. Soooo...... let me put everyone's mind at ease. He is NOT quitting his job. With his work, once their part of the project is over, they are usually sent to another project to do about the same thing that they did on the previous project. Kenny is always wanting to learn the next phase and move up the ladder (I so admire him for that) so he looked at what projects his company has going on around the world to see what he might be interested in and found this one in South America. But (and here is the part that will ease some of your minds...) he was told today that they want him to stay on the project he is on right now until the end of 2009. There is a possible promotion and raise but nothing in writing as of yet. So keep us in your prayers that this will not discourage Kenny (as he really wants to learn more and advance) and that we will get to visit him more. We trust in the Lord to guide us and take care of us and this is no exception.
Today was extremely busy at work for it to be in the middle of the summer. We had a lot of teachers drop in to check on things and ask me questions relating to their budgets for the upcoming school year. However, Melinda was working today (to make up for a few days she is going to miss when school starts) so I had someone to talk with and pass the time of day.
I may not have mentioned, but Melinda is a great person. I feel very blessed to get to work with her everyday. We have become close friends and I feel that God knew I needed a friend I could count on and one that I could laugh or cry with. After work, we went to our usual Monday afternoon 'BodyPump' class at the gym.
Mason worked this evening and when I went to pick him up ( I let him drive home as usual) he said, "We need to go somewhere and I will take you". So let him take me and we ended up at Sonic (turns out he was starving after work) So my surprise was to go to Sonic and spend my money on 'cheese fries and sweet tea'. Mason is truly ONE of a KiND.
Jesse (sorry about the picture, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove it) is still house-sitting. She did stop by the house to clean her room because I was not going to look at it all week as messy as it was. She is enjoying 'being on her own' as it is and I am proud of her. She is really going to do great things with her life. I truly believe that.
I did walk around the block a couple of times this evening and felt good once it was over. Now I am just sitting on the couch watching the news and preparing for going to bed.
Tomorrow I will begin again. Good night all.
