Mr. Bailey and other news

As of about 10:30am this morning, Marcel signed his very first teaching contract!!

The day of Hannah's wedding, her photographer told us the school she worked at had a part-time band teacher position open.  She gave us the email address that would get his resume directly into the right hands.  His resume went in Saturday, and even without the application they sent back to him to complete being done, he had an interview yesterday morning.  Only about 3 hours later, he was offered and accpeted the position.

We're very happy about this position and now that it is just right for Marcel at this time.  It serves as yet another reminder that God does have a plan for us.  When we felt like we needed to turn down the job he was offered in Boise, it was hard and neither of us understood it, but now all the pieces of our puzzle (at least in regards to Marcel's employment) fit together!

In other news, here is what we've been up to, at least what we have pictures to show for.  And yes, some of them are very old!

We met Marcel's mom in Kennewick after having Snoh for 3 weeks.  We have always talked about being able to take a drive when we're not in a hurry to get to where we're going or coming home, so on the way home we decided to stop at the viewpoint near Pendelton.  It was so beautiful!  On a side note, while driving with Snoh, he said, "Hey, we're in the desert.  I think I'm going to see the pyramids soon."  He wasn't too bummed when we informed him that we weren't going to Egypt!

We saw Harry Potter 7, Part 2 and LOVED it, after Marcel had to tell the people in front of us to stop talking.  Really, they were having a full on conversation.  We waited until after the movie for our picture, but still Marcel didn't want a flash, so you can't really see either of us.  This same day we enjoyed PF Changs & TGI Friday's appetizers with some wonderful coupons!

We went to the Boys & Girls Club night at the Boise Hawks game with free tickets Marcel got at work.  It had been a long time since I'd seen a baseball game and we had a great time.

And Miss Lilli has become quite the reader, even wanting to read Marcel's super boring sound tech magazines.  Even more, she's become quite the posing queen.  I only had her 1 day this week and Marcel and I are both missing her like crazy.
