So...I graduated and become an auntie all in one weekend!

Day 114/174

Well I graduated from Northwestern College with a Bachelors Degree in Marketing.  I'm very proud of my accomplishments as is my support system :) Especially my wonderful husband who sent me flowers and chocolate with a really sweet note :)
I'm so thankful for him and my family and friends.  Also, I'm so proud of all my fellow graduates this year!

I had an eventful weekend! My sister-in-law and brother had their baby on Friday morning.  Adeline Rose Plantage is a perfect little baby girl who knows she's loved because their are always arms to hold her.  She is content and cries very little; I know that might not always be the case but it was nice for the weekend.  


My family (mom, dad, sister, and grandparents) were able to come up and stay with me in our little apartment :) It was so sweet and we had such a great weekend!
I am now a college graduate who has employment looking for more permanent work.  I have a few possibilities but I'll be in prayer until God feels fit to open up some doors! 

An update on Rico: 
He just finished a week where he had to work over night and the last half normal days.  It was hard for his body but they got a lot done that they needed to be done.  Now he is back to his normal schedule.  He desperately wants to come home.  This last weekend was really hard for him because there were so many things happening.  The good thing is that we're almost to 2 months left.  It's hard to imagine it coming up but I'm praying that it goes by faster than slower! It seems to be going slow for Rico because it's getting more and more slow.  Pray for more work orders for him!

Keep us in our prayers as we will keep you in ours.  Thank you for all your support!  We love and appreciate all the love! :)

Over the halfway mark!

Day 100/174 about 10 weeks left!

So I want to apologize for not writing in almost a month! SO much has happened!

We had a baby shower for my beautiful sister-in-law, Easter with half of the in-laws, senior business banquet, a personal shower for one of my best friends and final presentations! So, so busy but happy to get everything done. Everything went well so what a relief!



So I only have a few pictures from the two events: business banquet and the shower :)








I just had a job interview with an insurance company that could be the start of a great career! I'm really praying that God gives us what we need and wants if it is His will! I am trying to find a good full time job so that I will be able to support us while Rico finishes his last year at Northwestern!

Rico is doing well, the news about Osama is great but hasn't affected Rico so we need to keep him and everyone overseas in our prayers!  He is still doing well but it is still boring.  I am happy that there isn't much actions but sad for him that it makes the time go by slower.  He recently started helping one of his new friends with working out.  He takes after his dad in that way.  It is really sweet to see him doing what he's passionate about.

He has been receiving packages from the pre-schoolers/kindergartners which is really sweet!  It's precious to see the little ones sending a troop their gifts they have some sweet questions for him too, next post I will include them!
