Titanic Mock Trial 2009

 

Last night the LAF (Learning Adventures of Fort Bend) teens put on a trial to end all trials. They did a mock trial, Mrs. Jenkins Vs. White star lines. Mrs. Jenkins was suing the White star Lines for the death of her husband. Trevor played Officer Lightower. He did an excellent job!

A New Truck

Well, we all remember tracking the milestones our little ones meet, they say their first word, take their first step and go to kindergarten. Yes, it doesn't matter how old they are we still watch them meet the milestone. They are just a little more traumatic, get their driver license, first date, first girlfriend, first kiss, and now buying their first car.

Joshua purchased his first vehicle yesterday, a 2001 Ford F150 XLT extended cab. He is very excited and we are very proud. Scott helped him find what we think was a great deal. He went to his savings account and pulled out the cash. He filled out the paperwork, it's all in his name. This morning he has gone to add it to our insurance and get the state inspection. I'm not sure this is a milestone I'm ready for.

Our Life

I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything. We have been busy with all our many activities: school, church, work, coops, and on top of that Scott has been home since before Thanksgiving.

Yesterday Scott finally started that project that he was promised before Thanksgiving. It is a short one, only about three months.

With the economic out look of our country right now Scott has been searching out job options outside of the US. EE Reed has not been able to pick up any new work since they picked up the project Scott started yesterday, that was in November. Scott applied for and has received his passport. He is looking for Reed to do a big layoff, maybe as soon as March 15th which is when they usually pass out annual bonuses. We are trusting the Lord, we know he promises to take care of us but we are also looking at our options for future employment.

I know you all know that work all over the US has almost taken a halt, but they are still building strong in the Middle East. Please be praying for God to provide wisdom in our decision making. We are praying for each of you as we know there are hard times ahead for all of us. Love you!
