Good grief

Anyway, I'll fill in the gaps of all that's been happening. Mike is currently waiting to hear back from Rocketown to see if he's made it to the last interview. We'll know by next Tuesday. He had his second interview last Friday and then went with the entire staff to a Sounds game in Nashville. It was a great chance for him to hang out with everyone outside of being in an interview. I got to meet everyone too and they are really great. I was a little worried and really hoping that they wouldn't be a bunch of hipster scene kids and they really were not at all. I loved all of them. They were so down to earth and genuine. Definitely there for the kids. It made me want the job for Mike all that much more. We got along great with everyone, even the volunteers and the skate team. They seem like a family to me and I love that. I feel like this is what God wants for him and us so I hope I am right. Please continue to pray.


The downside (the only downside) to him getting the job is that they want someone by the end of the month...which means we may have to scoot out of here without much notice. That thought does not thrill me but we'll do what we have to.

Oh, I also had to tell my boss what's been going on. He seems cool about it but I know it's really going to mess things up for the agency when I leave. It was bad enough when i took maternity leave and I cam back after that. That's what happens when there's only one of you doing the job.


Still no buyers for the house...I know it will sell when it's supposed to though so I'm not worrying just yet.

We also found a few churches in Nashville that we want to visit. One of them is the church that John Davis (from Superdrag) attends and we got a personal invite from the man himself. Mike was so excited. It sounds like an awesome church and it's right down from my high school, so it wouldn't be hard to find.


Delia is now 6 months and 2 weeks old. She weighs a little over 14 lbs. She's still a teensy thing. But she eats like crazy. I think it has a lot to do with her two hospital visits in March. That kind of set her back weight-wise for a bit. She is on jarred food and loves the green stuff. Peas and green beans. She's sitting up much better. It's taking longer and longer for her to topple over so I think she'll be sitting on her own soon. She says Gee Gee when she gets upset. We have no clue what that means but it's cute. She says Mum and Ba Ba and chatters incoherently all the time. She went swimming for the first time a couple of weeks ago and since it was the first time the pool was open and it was freezing, she wasn't a fan. We're going to try again tonight and see how she likes it.


I am getting my hair colored for the first time in two years tomorrow. I'll be going a bit darker and adding a few panels of either blue or purple. I'm not sure which yet. I'm excited. I also looked through our entire dress policy and it's not mentioned anywhere about having "unnatural" hair color.


I've also been reading Is Belief in God Good, Bad, or Irrelevant? by Dr. Preston Jones. I saw it a while back and noticed that Greg Graffin (from the band, Bad Religion) was mentioned. Basically the book is a chronicle of 6 months of email conversations between Dr. Jones (a professor of history at John Brown University and a Christian) and Greg Graffin (he call himself a "naturalist"). I really like it for the most part but can't help but be frustrated by Greg's inability to even try to see someone else's point of view. The two never get nasty with one another and it's not a competition between who is right and who is wrong. When Greg suggests that Dr. Jones read something of a "naturalist" perspective, he does. But when this is flipped on him and he is asked to read just the four gospels, he gives an excuse and says that he might do that someday. I also don't see how if you don't believe that something exists, how you can become so angered by the thought of "it". I don't believe in the tooth fairy, it doesn't make me angry that millions of little children do. So why does the thought of God to an atheist, agnostic, "naturalist", etc. make them so angry?


So that's what's been going on...in a nutshell. A rather large nutshell.
