I had an 'old' moment

Occasionally I forget that I'm getting older, particularly at work. Until two weeks ago. I was trying to explain to a new co-worker how the special kind of triplicate form worked, and I mentioned that it looked kinda like a ditto used to (purplish ink from the carbon). You know, those purple text pages we used to have in elementary school rather than the copies we have now? He definitely looked at me and said 'What's a ditto?'. to make it worse, when I explained he said (I kid you not) 'I think my mom told me about those'. So, not only did he not remember, he lumped me in a category with him mom. Good grief. Please tell me someone out there remembers those ditto copies from grade school???

Decision Time

Well, it's hard to believe we're at this point, but it's time to decide where Brian and I will end up next! We have one more year until Brian will graduate with his doctorate. It doesn't seem like we've been in Austin that long, but it will be four years in July. Brian has applied for post doctoral positions at several schools and has received several responses, but is torn over which school is best. Where we end up next could play a big role on the types of positions he can get afterward, so it's a pretty big decision. If you know me well you know I'm anxious to get closer to family, but more than likely these positions will take us farther away from home. God has a plan for us, and I'm reminded to trust Him. Please pray for us as we work to make the right decision on this next phase in our life.
