Chaotic schedule

Hello, friends...
I thought I should write to let everyone know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth -- I've just been overwhelmed with activities and other commitments the past couple weeks. I have been checking in on the blog every once in a while to catch up on everyone's goings on. Steph, I'm glad you had such a great time in Tulsa. We definitely do need to catch up via phone some time soon. Julie, I hope your time with Grandma Shirley was special -- we've been praying for her and your family. And how did your floor pillows turn out, Jen? I've been wondering about them...I do so love pillows. I'll be looking forward to getting your save the date, Angie. That's so industrious of you -- I would have had a nervous breakdown if I'd added those to my to-do list when I was planning our wedding. I'm sure Steph can understand...my invites weren't exactly a walk in the park.
Anyway, so the condensed version of my past couple weeks is basically that I went from having a very uneventful life to one so full of events, I have to once again schedule time to sleep.
My mom was here last week, which was so great. We had a blast showing her the city and...(drumroll, please)...whale watching! Yay! I actually got to see whales and dolphins and sea lions and all kinds of wildlife out in the real wild. It was incredible. We saw practically every pod of killer whales in the area, and quite a few of them breached for us. Unfortunately, our pictures didn't turn out quite so well as the camera man (aka, Adam) was so enthralled with watching the whales surface that he forgot to take the picture until after they'd already gone back under water. So we have quite a few lovely pictures of the ocean and the sky.
On the job front, I was offered another data entry/editing type job for a company in Denver. I'm helping them with their hiring process, basically just sorting through resumes and scheduling interviews. On top of that, I also accepted a full time contract position with the City of Everett, a smaller city about 30 miles north of Seattle. I'll be helping them redesign, edit, and write new web pages for their website -- about 35,000 pages in all. It's a great chance for me to get some real experience, and I get my own corner office with a view for one month. :) The downside to that job is that I have to commute about an hour each way, which seriously cuts down on my time at home to work on Trails and Cygen (the Denver company) and, oh yeah, to relax. So...you can see how my chaotic schedule is threatening to overtake me.
Oh, and did I mention I just got over a really bad cold and the flu? Yeah, that was not such a good time.
Whew. Anyway, the Cygen stuff should slow down in a couple weeks, and I can put Trails on the back burner for a while as I concentrate on my new editing job. I also have a couple interviews for real, full-time, permanent jobs in the upcoming couple of weeks.
It seems that God is certainly answering my prayers for a job! I mean, seriously, did he have to listen that well? (Just kidding...I think.)
Hope all of you have a great week!
