Getting closer!

Hopefully we are getting closer to living in the Valley of the Heat. Kendra had three job interviews the week of August 10th. There is one she is really hoping for but won't find out until 3 weeks if she got it or not. Please keep your fingers crossed. Until then we are still applying for jobs. In this economy you never know and you don't stop until you are finally employed and start your first day of work. So in the meantime we are enjoying quality family time. We are quite amazed with Janessa and everything that precious brain is learning. Earlier this week when Kendra picked her up from school, she stopped in to talk with her teacher. She said Janessa was a joy to have in class and always cracks her up. And when she tells Janessa that she cracks her up, Janessa responds with "You crack me up, Ms. Bernardo." We notified her of our intentions to move to Phoenix and said we would let her know when we are finally moving the wheels. She said she will really miss Janessa. I'm just hoping she gets into a good quality school like the one she's in. We heard Phoenix has the best Charter schools, so we are hoping to get her enrolled in one since that is the atmosphere she is already used to. She is well aware of the plans to move, but is excited to meet new friends. Normally a parent would worry about their child in a new school, but normal parents don't have an amazing child like Janessa. She meets friends very easily and fits in really well. There aren't any kids I know of at the school that she doesn't get along with. She is the kind of kid that will find another student playing alone and invite them to play with her, while still maintaining playtime with her usual friends. There is a bully that is in school and she really likes Janessa. Janessa doesn't allow her to push her around and yet at the same time realizes that everybody needs a friend. So she befriends her so the other girl has someone she can call a friend. We are very proud of her.
