happy birthday!

I'm pretty sure it's Nori's bday today, so...

Happy Birthday!!! :) And if it's not her bday, then...
Happy BDay, early! (or late?)

Love you all!!

YAY!!!

alright.... i got the position at La Causa! :) I'm psyched! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! The agency name is pronounced la cow-sa (like house with a 'c' at the beginning and an 'a' at the end). The website is www.lacausa.org if you wanna check it out. I'll be working at the Social Service Location. My job title is WrapAround Care Coordinator. WrapAround is a County program that youth under 18 years old are court ordered into due to behavioral problems, usually. The goal of the program is to keep children in a permanent placement (foster, bioparents or family placement) instead of having to go into residential care. Instead of residential care, kids in this program have services "wrapped around" themselves and their families. I'm the person who coordinates all these services - which is pretty much anything the family and youth need. I'm very excited! I start Tuesday already with training. Yay!

Round 2...

hey!

i've got my second interview with an agency called La Causa this thursday @ 2 pm. keep me in your thoughts and prayers. thanks! i'll keep ya'll posted. you'll prolly hear my hollerin' all the way from down here if i get the job.

:) love you all!

i had an interview earlier this week and it went really well. i still have to meet with the director of the agency, but it sounds like they are going to offer it to me if all goes well with that meeting. if not, i have a possible job with the same agency i worked for during my graduate internship. will keep you posted!

Vacation time

Howdy ya'll - I pray all is going great with you. I just wanted to let you know that we're planning on going to California from the August 18-30. We plan on spending a few days in San Onofre, a few days going to Sea World, and then going up the coast for a week or so to take in the beach. Ya'll are welcome to join us!

We went to the circus last week. It wasn't as good as last time; it was actually pretty inappropriate for kids - weird for a circus. We also went online and looked the websites that claim B&B abuses their animals. I don't think we'll be going back.

Love you all!

That guy with the red nose is on eight-foot stilts... I'm not kneeling down! :-).

Dany & Sam!

Hey everybody!!!

Sam and I went and saw John Mayer last night and it rocked! :) I thought I'd put up some pictures for ya'll to see. He was at Marcus @ Summerfest. It was my 3rd time seeing him there - but by far the best! It poured rain on us, but we made the most of it and decided we'd dance in it! Missing you all... Hope the summer is going great for everyone! And Happy 4th!!!
