What a week it has been! Mackie got a call from Americorps last Friday that she was granted an interview and could she be in Portland on Monday....James to the rescue and they took off Sunday, she interviewed on Monday, back home Monday night only to receive an email advising her that she made it through the first round of two rounds. They wanted her back today, but if one travels any distance they would accept a request for later in the week. She got assigned Friday at 2:30pm! Yea, she is headed back for grueling with a small panel of Americorp members this time. Wish her luck and say a prayer, she really wants this particular job working with high risk high school students with college applications, financial aid, essay writings and the whole confusing process in general. She will be supervising 14 other team members. We are all so proud of her and her ability to hit it all head on. Soon as she finishes Friday we are headed to Marian's at the beach for two nights of R&R, good food, good wine, good conversation, then home on Sunday!

Oh for those who wonder about the kittys and Momma Cat...we can't trust dad with them so another foster mother is taking them for us for four nights. Up for adoption next week.....
