A prayer answered! Jon...

Jon has been offered a job! 

We are thrilled!!! The job sort of came about out of nowhere. Without any knowledge of the job, Jon went to an interview for a different position (that he had waited two months to hear back from) and instead was offered an even better position with hardly any interview!! Thanks to previous experience with the organization and an obviously awesome recommendation from a friend, Jon landed a fantastic job. Not sure if I could have picked a better job for him myself!

He will be the new executive director for the Barron county Habitat for Humanity!!! 

Yey!

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for him. We have dealt with job loss/changes in the past, but with the adoption process taking place at he same time, it seemed much more stressful. We are so very thankful God has provided in a fairly quick fashion (even if it did feel like forever) and that it is a job that fits almost everything Jon was looking for. 

And with that, we should have peaceful sleep tonight. Hallelujah! 

Congrats Jon! You're going to be great!!!

Second day in Manila

Family picture from yesterday at the park. Caleb has a flying butterfly. Our second day in Manila was fantastic! We got out of the city and saw a ton of the countryside, multiple areas outside of the city, and a beautiful "lake" that houses a volcano.  We've been starting our mornings with this view. Starting out on our journey today we saw some gigantic billboards. These two were selling Jollibee and the other was selling TUNA... tuna!?!? Our first trip to Jollbee! This is the Philippines favorite fast food restaurant, it is similar to our McDonald's. Their primary food though is chicken, much like KFC. Where do pineapples come from!?! Did you say a tree?? Then you, like myself and Jon, are wrong!!!! These are Pineapple Fields! Pineapples are grown from the ground! When this is ready to pick, the pineapple will be sitting straight up on top of the soil.  Road side stop to see the pineapple fields also allowed us to see t...

Siblings not by choice

Siblings.  Not by blood, not by choice, not by the perfect of circumstances. Siblings. Placed together by the hands of God. Placed together through love. May not get along through many circumstances, but love each other with a love most will never understand.

Four years.

Four years. Four years ago today, our second blessing jumped into our arms for the first time. Four years ago today, these two became brothers and best friends. Four years ago today, all our worlds changed. And yet, how can it have only been four years? Feels like he has been our son from day one. The Lord blessed us ten-fold the day we met you, my son, our Tope. My world is better with you in it.
