Job Search

Jon has been working hard since he got home looking for a new job. He is participating in a networking group at church that meets weekly and helps those looking for jobs to be prepared to find them and connect with those who might have openings. This week Jon is attending the Transition Assistance Program provided by the Marine Corps. It seems to be a very practical and helpful set of seminars.

There do seem to be some potential options within the Marine Corps as well as in the civilian sector. Please pray for Jon to find the right one that works for him and our family. We are so blessed that he can do this search while still receiving a pay check.

Hope you all had a fun St. Patrick's Day. Joshua discovered that a leprechaun visited our house yesterday and left a trail of clues that led to some goodies.

All for now.

Planting our Native Garden

Saturday was a beautiful day here in Southern California -- perfect to be out doors planting our native garden. A BIG Thanks to my dad, cousin Kimberly, friend Kris and Joshua's friend Max who joined us with Reggie, from Back to Natives, to plant the 71 baby plants we have. We learned all about native plants and how to best plant and care for the ones we have. We are sore this morning, but it is a good feeling after working so hard yesterday.
