Well, this week went by fast. Monday and Tuesday we spent in LA looking for apartments. We ended up looking at two very nice one's close to the school. It was a eye opener for Calinia to see how crowded it was, yet she is excited about the city life. We just received a letter confirming that we were approved for our loan for her college, thank you LORD.
Now the past couple of days we have been spending on our backyard patio. Since we added on to our house two years ago, we have not fixed up our yard until now. We have no choice but to make it nice so we can rent it out. Peter started applying to downtown dealerships and prayerfully a job will come soon.
Next week is Calinia's Senior Prom, and she is excited to go but sad because what it represents, the end of the year. It has been such a mental challenge for all of us and yet we are keeping a positive attitude on the whole situation.
Our Easter was great as it usually is, family just seems to make life a little bit more fun and pleasant. See the photobucket for pictures. I love Easter because of what it represents - JESUS has risen! The egg hunt with all the candy just makes it much sweeter.

KEEPING IT REAL - April already...
So here we are on a beautiful sunny day and it's April, only in California.
Alot has been happening in regards to Calinia's College. We applied for everything and now we are playing the waiting game. It is hard for Peter and I to think that we are moving to downtown LA.
There is so much we need to do to get the house ready to rent. Living in one place for over 20 years, can be emotional. We are trying to be optimistic about the whole situation. We are open for whatever direction the LORD leads us. Peter is still applying for jobs with no success, we are hoping that the job situation will be better in LA. I myself will look in the Design Centers and see what is there as well. We know it will be temporary for us, just until Calinia can get settled in and is comfortable in her surroundings. I have to say she is good with this situation and understands that we are doing this for her and for ourselves.
Peter is looking forward to not mowing a lawn, the thought of not having to do outside project's thrills him. We figure we enjoy our weekends and enjoy our surroundings. I believe as I told him that maybe GOD wants us to enjoy the journey that is in front of us instead of giving into the stress and all the negative feelings this economy has and is doing to alot of good people.
So it is moment by moment that we are living. The only confidence we have in this situation is that our family will stay together, and that we will get through all this. Our confidence is in our LORD JESUS and we chose to keep our eyes fixed on HIM not the world.
