HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA HAP

All of us here in South Carolina are wishing you a very happy birthday Enjoy your dinner with your friends.

In case you are wondering who is Grandpa Hap? He is Audy's dad and lives in Washington State. We have had the privilege of having him back here for his birthday but he hasn't been able to come out for a visit for the last couple of years. When he came out in 2004 we took him to the Biltmore house in North Carolina. Most people know about that house but if you don't google it and see how beautiful it is. At Christmas there are over 100 trees decorated through out the house. Anyways, I think he really enjoyed that.

Yesterday made it a week since Audy was laid off. He spent the day with me helping me with the grandchildren. Then he got a call from Matt Sims that he was having trouble with his shower plumbing so off he went. I told him, what a blessing that he had an opportunity to help someone else. He said, Matt was with him every step of the way and will be able to it next time. Good job Matt!
We didn't get to work on our gingerbread house as the kids went different directions. I dropped Jessalyn off at the church to meet up with her best friend, Kate and they were going to a friends birthday party. They had so much fun as it was at a place called "The Young Chef". From what I understand the children get to make a meal and they made pizza. She brought some home for Nana. Ms. Jennifer came by after the party and picked up Bryson to go home with all of them and him and Jessalyn would have an afternoon of playtime with their friends. Such a sweet family and good friends.
After Katie got home we headed home and had dinner and then I made a dessert to take over to Skip and Jess's. Skip had got the furniture together and we wanted to see Molly's nest. It is coming together so cute. I will post pictures soon. Count down is getting shorter everyday.
UPDATE: on Audy's unemployment.
He got an email from the company that was doing his resume and his resume is completed so now it's been sent to 24 head hunters to search for a job. Keep holding us up in your prayers.
We did get the paperwork from the employment office and he should get his first check in a couple of weeks. We continue to see God's blessings and promises as he walks with us through this.
