Some say that you need to take a vacation from your vacation, and that is so true for us, especially after traveling with kids. We’ve been recuperating from our trip and trying to get back into the swing of things. I’ve been feeling especially tired and have been having a hard time getting back into cooking and cleaning the house. I’m almost back to 100%, but I probably won’t be until Nat finishes his traveling at the end of this coming up week.
Speaking of Nat, Nat deposited his thesis last week, so he is officially a doctor now! He also finished up his conference paper, so that’s another burden lifted off Nat’s shoulder. He was still pretty busy last week despite his accomplishments since he needed to fix his slides for a job talk that he’s giving tomorrow. Nat is interviewing at a company in Maryland, and his interview consists of giving a job talk and getting grilled afterwards. Fun, I know. Nat comes home late tomorrow night, and they flies out on Wednesday for another interview on Thursday. Hopefully, Nat will get an offer from one of these two interviews, because all we’ve heard so far is no. It’s definitely been teaching us to trust in the Lord and His provision going through this job search. Nat is definitely feeling more confident, and dare I say, excited about his job talk on Monday, and he’s feeling more relaxed about interviewing, and I think we can attribute that to the Lord.
To add to the “excitement” at our house, Jonas developed a fever on Friday, and it has gotten worse as the weekend has gone on. We took him to the doctor today, and it seems like it’s nothing serious. We just have to ride it out. Hopefully, Jonas will feel better this afternoon.
Congrats and good luck to Nat.
Thanks DC.
