Social Butterflies

David and I were social butterflies this weekend! Friday night we went out to a new restaurant with my mom and dad. On saturday alone, we went to 3 different events. I started the day off with a Southern Living party. From there I picked up David and the dogs and headed off to the NICU graduates picnic. We invite all the kiddos that have been in the NICU to join us for a fun day in the park. It gives us a chance to catch up with them and their families and see how they are doing. After that we stopped by the house to change clothes and drop off the dogs and we were off to a Hawiian themed party. Sunday we had dinner with David's parents and then were off to our fellowship group meeting. I feel like we almost need a weekend to recover from our weekend! But we had a great time all around!

This weekend I also put my name in the running for a day time position in the NICU. It will be decided by senority and since I am still pretty much low man on the totem pole, the odds don't look great, but we are praying that I get it.

We also dropped the list price on our townhouse. We are currently paying two morgages and it has been a strain on our finances. In the 2+months that it has been on the market it has only been shown twice. The market is just not the best right now, and there are several forclosures in the area that are driving the prices down. We are praying that God will bring the right buyer along quickly.

They say that things come in three's so here is the third for us. David found out on friday that the paperwork for his job did not get changed in the finance department for TUSD to show that he was an 8 hour a day employee. As a result they only paid him for 6 hours a day. They are working on getting it straightened out, but they are unable to make the pay retroactive for the last 2 weeks that he was working full time. They are giving him comp time, but that doesn't help when we were expecting a full paycheck. We are praying that the paperwork gets straightened out quickly and that he will once again be working 8 hour days.

Good luck on the day position...and if it doesn't happen this time, it will eventually! Your hard work will be rewarded.
