Jeff and Em's Update

Things are coming together for the Atlanta move! Jeff was hired by Turner two weeks ago, and he will be starting there June 26th. I'll stay here until I finish my teaching contract July 14th, and then go up in time to help with summer music camp at Berean. We have a buyer for our house already (if all goes through as planned). Jeff got the inspections done on the attic for both electrical and mechanical (air conditioning etc) and passed them both---yay!! So, now he just needs to put in the sheetrock and finish things up. His last day at BJ is this Friday (the 16th), then he'll have a week at home to work on the attic. I'm kind of sad that we won't be able to enjoy it, but it will increase the value of the house.

Tim and Stephanie (Jeff's bro and sis-in-law) have been kind enough to let us stay with them until we can sell our house and find a new place. It will be kind of strange "living out of a suitcase" for a while and putting everything in storage, but it's just temporary.

Jeff and I had fun last weekend over at Will & Laura's! Will and Jeff worked on their porch--Will got the roof all done, and is putting up the screen--and Laura and I planted flowers. We actually ended up recruiting Willie to dig the holes for us...the hole for the rosebush had to be really deep! Anyway, it was lots of fun having "girl time" with Laura and seeing how Ella has grown.

Here is a picture from my recent piano recital I had for my students! I only had 7 that played in it (I have more students with the studio in town). It was kind of a fiasco, because two of the kids forgot their books and we had to wait until their dad returned with them! Finally, we had waited so long that we went ahead and started. Their dad arrived JUST in the nick of time before the end of the recital. This was the first recital I had hosted personally, and I was a little nervous, but everyone was understanding and seemed to enjoy it. :)
