Not inspired.

Not feeling inspired to post but I feel like an update is in order so we'll see how this one goes. It's going to be the traditional Amy givin' it to ya straight with no messing around, alright people?
We are freezing here. The high is 45 degrees for crying out loud. Jackson is all upset when we want to take him on a walk, compared to the traditional running around super crazy excited like he's never seen the sun before. There is a possibility of some snow this weekend which could be fun. I'm thinking hot chocolate!
We were so super duper blessed to be able to visit the whole Anderson clan in Oregon last weekend! So badly needed some time with good friends! We had so much fun and got to meet the new puppy Dodge! He and Jackson were playing the entire time. It was so refreshing to see them but really hard to say goodbye.
The hospital is trying to work out some details so I can train there. It should be about 6 months training and then I can hopefully look for a job again. Yikes. Andy and I have spent a lot of time and tears before the Lord and each other on this one and I can't say we're excited about the plan but this seems to be the way to go. So there you have it.
We are coming home for Christmas! For 2 weeks!!! WOOOOOOOOT! Obviously we're stoked! So we'll be seeing ya'lls soon.
I found another thrift store score. $4 american rag jeans, bam!
I think that's all I have to say. We miss our friends and family like crazy. We have felt discouraged recently but we have also been very very blessed through everything: Andy has work, we have family close, we have a  roof over our heads, we are falling more in love with each other, and strengthening our relationship with Jesus. WOOT! hahahaha

Answer: Yes!

So Yasmin's class is writing to people in all 50 states throughout the year and so they wrote to us to find out some "cool" things about Washington. Most of them wanted to know more about Jackson than Washington or us for that matter. Ha ha! Anyway we were already getting a kick out of the letters until we came across the one that topped them all:

Dear Andy, Amy, and Jackson,
I'm supposed to introduce myself but you already know me so I can skip that part.
My class is learning about all 50 states by writing to people who live in them. Will you tell me about Washington, bet I know some.
Some awesome things about California are that me and your family are still here. Another thing is that it's really sunny and the last cool thing is Home School Day at Magic Mountain...don't you miss us now?
Thanks. I miss you.
(peace sign) (heart) Kathren

I laughed like crazy and Andy in disbelief had me read it again. Everyone needs a good dose of sass every once in a while I guess. Missing home a lot. Peace out!
