Our First Few Weeks

Things are going pretty well for all of us. Ben is enjoying his job. Taylor has made several friends on our road, at church, and at school. She had her first full day of school today. It started out rough with a few tears, but it ended up great. Everyone knows she's the new girl, and everyone is friendly to her. She likes most of her classes, especially Spanish! After being in gym class today, the coach invited her to be on the cross country track team, and they even want her to run with the high school students because she's faster than the kids at her school! She misses her friends from home of course, but she's doing very well here. God answered our prayers! Joslyn knows we live far away from our friends and family, and she says she likes it here, but she'll ask here and there if we can go to Nanny's house or if she can see her friends. She says we can just drive there to see them! Riley doesn't know anything's different :) We have visited several churches that we like so far and will continue to visit before picking one. My job situation is the main thing not going so well. I have a job in OB at the hospital and am set to start in one month working two nights a week. However, I found out that I will have eight weeks of Mon-Fri all day long orientation, which is not good due to the fact that there is no childcare here. I am looking for something else that doesn't require the long orientation, so in the meantime I can use your prayers!
