Whew!

Working mostly, more physical therapy, lots and lots of prayer for a job for me or Ellice and health for a friend. Still up in the air whether I'll be taking more classes this semester, mostly based on whether we need the loan money. I'm done with course work and just need to get hired for my practicum. (student teaching isn't feasible at this point).

The wife and I have had a tough time of it emotionally and spiritually. But we're trying to have faith and keep praying.

UPDATE
Well, it finally happened. Ellice got an interview two days after a meltdown, and then we got the callback--she got the job as a 1st grade teacher!!!! In Clark County even, so we can carpool. No classes this semester. The Lord be praised, we get to keep our apartment... and we'll be able to eat! The only downside is I have to get up an hour earlier but hey, we all make sacrifices. Speaking of that, I better get to bed....

STAR WARS: The Clone Wars
Way cool. I was lovin' it the whole time. The movie is short but feature length. It is a cartoon in the vein of the short lived series and is a predictable springboard for the new cartoon coming out in the fall. But it was great eye candy, with a neat take on the traditional Star Wars sound on the soundtrack. Anakin is reluctantly assigned a padawan learner in the middle of a battle with the Separtists. The action launches from there with typical heavies Count Dooku and his apprentice, Asaaj Ventress. Two thumbs way up for any Star Wars fan out there. After a while, you forget you are watching a cartoon. ***1/2
