Tough month

This has been a really tough month for David. He had a little fender bender the other day. He was facing the sun and making a left turn into the park and ride lot. He didn't see a white van in the far lane and hit it. He just needed to replace his light assembly but there was a lot of damage to the van door and rear fender. He had to pay $132 for failure to yield. The next day at work they announced that they had lost their funding and had to let almost everyone go. They kept two people that had been there forever. Dave gets to work for the rest of August but is job hunting. He would love to work on campus so he can work around his schedule. Since this is his last semester he doesn't have a lot of choice in the schedule. He applied for a job as a lab assistant in a bio study hall. It would sure be nice if he got that. Then today when he was picking up his light for the car, the steering wheel started smoking. It only smokes when he uses his right blinker so we figure there is a short there somewhere. Last night Preston didn't sleep well so they finally took his pj's off to see if it was because he was hot. He was covered in hives. We haven't decided what they were from but they are gone now and he is much happier. Onward and upward. Dave has kept a pretty good attitude through all this.
On a brighter note: My classroom is almost ready for school which starts on Wednesday. My partner is great at organizing and making things look good. I am good at the grunt work, like passing out supplies and making labels and pictures on the computer. We make a great team. The school is still in a total mess but they have 5 more days to get some semblance of order.

Aunt Mary Lou says that everything comes in threes.eg: our carpet, toilet leak and ceiling hole. Hopefully Dave's third one was Preston's rash and that's all there will be.

That does not sound fun. Like they say, when it rains, it pours. It seems like when we have any major changes in our lives (marriage, moving, baby) SOOO many things go wrong. We're excited to move next summer and hope that doesn't happen for awhile. We will be praying for the family and hope Dave gets that job.
