Dah...Dah....(thats Texan for Trumpet blasts)
Got an email last week before our move from Norine...Emily's employer in Seabrook Tx....and....she said she had decided to offer Emily the chance to stay for a full year in her job!!!! She said Emily accepted and hoped we agreed.
Of course we do....Emily is really growing in her position there...improving her skills and becoming more responsible....Katie also said that she took Emily shopping last week (we sent Emily a ticket to visit Katie in Austin as a congratulations on her promotion)...and that her tops were 14/16 s.......which is quite a change from last Falls 22/24. Living on the top floor of a four story home she gets plenty of excercise.
Please forgive me if I told you all this before...so much has gone on in our lives.....We have been trying to sell our home for three years and wouldnt you know it would go under contract when I was in DC...and then we only had two weeks to pack up and get out....then we have run into problems with the home we are buying as it is much older and we want it to outlast us. A funny happened last week....Katie showed Emily pics of the house and pointed out...."her bedroom". Apparently Em's face fell and she said...."well I have a room....its in Houston!!!!"....LOL....Katie reassured her it would just be a room for her to visit in when she comes back to Amarillo for holidays...and that I thought she might like to have a hand in decorating it......

Jackie~ Congrats to Emily on doing such a great job with her new job, and with the weight loss!!! WTG Em!!!
And congrats to YOU on being able to handle a week without talking to her........I know my Em is only 13, but I shudder when I think of days to come when she could be away from us with no contact for a week or so at a time. I'm personally going to keep on hoping that ALL my kids find rewarding jobs very close to home! Hey.....I can dream, can't I? Thanks for keeping us updated.
