It has been awhile since I posted anything.  Our computer was down for some time.  It is working better, but still not the best.  I am so excited.  My sister in MN, sister in TX and Mom in MN are all on Myspace and are able to contact eachother and stay more connected.  Myspace is not my favorite place, but once I got my page settled, it has been great to communicate with my family!!  I am so thankful.  In other news, Jonathan is doing his medical coding class.  It is challenging.  There is a lot to retain, and a lot of work involved.  He is studying most of the day.  I am so proud of him as he looks to our future with such devotion!!  He has had a job offer too.  He is being asked to help someone renovate his business.  This gentleman owns a piece of rental property with 150 units on it.  We are praying about it.  Jonathan is going along with this man all week, taking notes and will give him an answer later this week.  We have had a slow school week here.  I have not been feeling the best, so we have been doing a lot of reading aloud, narrating, and nature walks.  I think spring has bitten us.  We have the bug to be out and about, and not indoors.  It has been so beautiful with all the trees in bloom, and birds fluttering about.  Across the road we have about 6 new calves that have been born, and we are enjoying them very much.  We don't have a whole lot going on, and that is nice.  We need to plan for church here on Sunday.  Any ideas for a Palm Sunday meal?  It sounds neat, but have not known what to make.  Well, I better run, that is all for now....Melissa
