Well, it’s been awhile. So much has happened, including a wedding in the family (niece), visit with relatives and friends, a family reunion, and a lost job. Where to start first?
The wedding was great. Nicole and Jason have started their (hopefully) lifelong relationship on a good footing and with the blessing of many friends and relatives. The setting was a bit unusual, an old theater, but the ceremonies came off without an apparent hitch, as did the reception and celebration. They are back from a short trip and are settling in to the routine of married life in this culture.
We had a family reunion during this time, and also visited with other relatives in the Hesston/Newton area one Sunday afternoon. We always enjoy those visits so much, and hope the “relations” enjoy them half as much as we.
The wife lost her job last week. Her position was eliminated, and she was let go “in good standing”. She’s looking for work now, but is also enjoying the time spent at home. And I must admit it’s nice to have someone at home. The pace just seems a bit slower, and the times just a little more deliberate when we’re not running here and there, rushing to be at work on time or getting errands done.
We don’t have an endless supply of cash, but are OK for the moment. In this job market, anything can happen. People say health care is relatively recession-proof, and I think it is. However, there are a lot of caveats in that statement, so we’ll see how this goes.
We have a three day weekend due to the holiday. We don’t have much planned, but will enjoy the time we have together and with each other. You do the same.
