Updates

What a month!  This past month has been a blur--it's already the last day of July!  So many changes have taken place and it is so exciting to see what God is doing in our lives.  Mike had his last day of his internship on July 15, also my sister's 30th birthday, and had a phone interview on July 16th with Alliance Defense Fund which is a non-profit organization that fights for Christian rights.  He made it to first round interviews and had his interview this past Monday.  Currently we are waiting to hear if he made it to the second round of inteviews--if he does then he will spend the better part of a day at ADF interviewing with different key people.  We should hear back beginning of next week if he will continue interviewing.  The week between Mike's phone interview and first round interview he and his dad drove out to North Carolina to take Matt his car and bring some of his things back home since they were in storage.  That was a grueling six days of driving and he returned last Friday afternoon which worked out well since I left for Dallas early on Saturday morning.  I was certainly glad to see him and spend time with him before being gone myself for 5 days.

I went to Dallas for my annual Mary Kay conference and absolutely loved it--as always!  Our new holiday line will be absolutely fabulous!!!  They have some great rewards for those who choose to step up into a leadership position with the company which include a $1,000 bonus upon qualifying as a Director and if you are in the process of qualifying to be a Director you can go to Houston for our Leadership conference which is specifically for Directors and National Sales Directors!  I am really excited about this opportunity and plan to take advantage of it!  Of course there are some other fabulous benefits and rewards that new Directors will receive as well.  Mary Kay also put out a company wide challenge to have 10 parties in a week--so I'll be working hard to accomplish that challenge this next week!   I'll post some pictures when I get them all on my computer!

Speaking of pictures, here is the link I promised if you would like to see Diane's wedding pictures: http://thevisionyard.zenfolio.com/diane-rodrigo-wedding

All for now!  Please keep us in your prayers as we wait for God's direction in a job for Mike!
