a bunch of nothing!

it's been a good while since my last post..

we made it to michigan and back last weekend. visited with granny and grandpa seymoure in kalamazoo. we had a grand time... most of us did anyway. ava did good for a fair portion of the trip; i will not give her a "good" or a "great" grade... she was fussy a lot in the afternoons/evenings... so i thought, she is teething! come to find out, we came home, she cried that night for about 20 minutes straight with no calming whatsoever.... and she's been perfectly fine ever since! she had a case of the i-want-to-be-at-home-again blues. needless to say, we will not be taking another trip for a while.. but during the happy times, it was great to see granny and gpa. their house is beautiful and i told mom i wanted to move into their guest room. she gave me a not so nice look. apparently she likes me and wants me to stay here. ;)

and the week happened. there isn't more to say here other than i got two more prospective jobs... then one got flushed today. got an email saying the position was filled. i still have one lead with a gold buyer out of wabash (i think he's from wabash)... keeping my prayers on this one.

this past weekend was a lonely one. saturday was anyway. mom and dad went to help pat and michelle move. the girls spent the morning with ava and i.. then they left too. so ava and i were home forever without any social interaction with anybody but ourselves. i did get a changing table out of the day though! michelle and pat did not have room in their new humble abode so they decided to allow ava and i to make use of it for a while! thank the Lord for family and generosity! thank you again guys! anyway, so father helped me carry the table all the way upstairs to the third from top step when my back did something very strange. i don't know what happened but i've had slight pain when sitting and standing since! it is getting better though. but poor chuck, he had to stand there and wait for me to pick the table back up, after he had been moving all day! we finally got it into our room. they left to help the seymoures again. i made the changer fit in our room a little bit and then we just relaxed. we later went downstairs (we spent a majority of the day in our room) and ava started looking around and yelling (not really yelling but it was kind of like a "hey!").... she missed everybody. so we waited for them in the chair. they got home, we said hi, and ava decided it was bedtime. sunday we went to church in the morning, stayed for fellowship, and came home. we rested.

today aunt kaylee and i took miss ava on a trip to the post office. i know if i were working behind the counter at the post office i would have thought it was funny to see a 4 month old baby and her mother both wearing sunglasses (matching is what best friends do!). it's probably just me though. too bad kaylee wasn't wearing shades. we would have looked "cool." just kidding.
and that was the highlight of our day.

thank you for reading. sorry for boring!

love,
courtney
and avie baby.
