The last week or so...

Scott and I were able to get away overnight to Seattle last Friday then spent some time at Pike Place Market on Saturday. We went to the original store so that I could see if my iced mocha was as good as I though it was with the older machines that they used to use.

Then on Sunday we went to our church's annual Thanksgiving Family Feast. It was a lot of fun. Our entertainment was a talent show put on by members of our congregation.

And last of all I received the recipe from The University of Washington hospital for their Creamy Baked Macaroni & Cheese. Which I made on Monday and it was YUMMY! :)

Off the roller coaster......at least for now.

Well it appears that we are off of the roller coaster that we've been on for the last 9 months. Scott has accepted a job offer from PLU and will start his new job on Dec. 1. Praise the Lord!

Teresa got the all clear from the neurosurgeon on Tuesday so she won't have to go back for 1 year to see him.

Gabby is mid way through her first quarter of college and seems to be having fun and doing well in her classes. She is still looking for a job as well.

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us and who have supported us during these past few months. We are very thankful for all of you!

I can't believe she is already 19!!!

We've spend the last couple of days celebrating Gabby's birthday. On Friday we went to the Old School Frozen Custard with Scott's sister Carol then on Saturday we went to Teresa's step-sister Terri's for dinner to celebrate all of the October birthdays with that part of the family. (There are 7 of them)

Teresa & her dad (we forgot to get pictures)

Then tonight Gabby opened her present before we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory with Teresa's mom and step-dad for dinner.

These last two pics are from dinner us and then Gabby with Grandma Barb & Pappa Jerry

Life has been busy for both Scott and Gabby since they started school on Sept. 21st and Teresa has been back at work (part of her hours) for the last few weeks.

We are thankful for the blessings and opportunities to celebrate!

Adoption Day 2009

Six years ago today Gabby's adoption was finalized! The time has gone very quickly!

With everything that has been going on we kept the celebration kind of low key this year and just went out to Red Robin for lunch but we enjoyed our time together.

The other thing that we are celebrating is that Gabby's diploma arrived today! Yeah!
