Much has happened since the last post.  Today has been a great day — time to relax, do some household chore type of activities, and just relax.  So I figured I would take the opportunity for a little update.  I think the biggest news has been how much Elisabeth’s work has picked up since her promotion.  For approximately three months, she has been working anywhere from 50-70 hours a week.  This is “somewhat normal” for the busy season at WorldStrides and it has certainly been a task to keep on top of everything and maintain some kind of balance in other areas of life.  But we have been managing.  Other exciting news is that Elisabeth was accepted into VCU’s Master of Social Work Program.  She plans on deferring for another year so that we can save up a little bit more.

In other news, it was great to have Mama and Papa Barahona visiting last week.  My Mr.-fix-it father spent much of the time doing little repairs and projects, including putting together our new grill and patio furniture!! (Pictures forthcoming).  Elisabeth and my folks also spent some time setting up a garden in the front and back of the house — pictures also forthcoming.

That will be all for now — hopefully we can be more regular at putting up some news.
