Hello to everyone! Things have been developing for Arm and I. I have accepted a job as a nanny for 4 boys. I know it sounds like a lot, but I have talked with the mom a lot, met the whole family and even babysat for them one time. The family is a Christian family and their kids are really good. The mom and dad have done a great job. Their ages are 7, 5, and 9 month old twins. Their mother has planned tennis camp and VBS, their members at a country club for swimming time, they have season passes to the zoo, they live down the street from a park and the library, and they have a big front and back yard. The twins are on a good schedule and putting them to bed is fairly easy. I'm sure there will be days when they're not perfect little angels, but I'm expecting it and I know there will be good days as well. Pray for me as the kids and I get used to each other and their schedules. I look forward to having fun with all 4 this summer and then the older two will go to school. I start nannying next week.
Arm also has had an opportunity open up fairly close to where I'll be nannying. I think it's only a couple blocks away. A very nice veterinarian is now willing to give Arm a chance. The vet has asked him to come in from 9-11:30 every day next week as a trial week and after that, if they work well together, he will increase Arm's hours. He had to hire Arm for insurance purposes and so we are very thankful Arm is getting this chance. I know Arm will do well, but, as anyone, he's a little bit anxious. Please pray for him to be calm and enjoy himself and trust in the things he learned in school and in his experience as a vet.
In another twist, we got an order for puppies we haven't even had yet. Arm met a woman from Sweden in Thailand and they somehow just got back in touch. Arm told her we brought Thai Ridgeback dogs from Thailand to breed in America and she breeds them in Sweden, so she was interested. Arm sent her their Pedigree Certifications and she really wants them, so she told us to keep in touch with her and let her know when we breed the dogs because she may want a boy and a girl. She even talked about flying from Sweden to come here and get them. I knew Arm picked good dogs, but I didn't know how good. We have an almost pure blue line dogs and that is apparently very rare. Please pray that we'll be able to get the puppies certified and she'll actually follow through with her interest. We can't breed our dogs for another 4-6 months and she'll be pregnant for 2 months and then we have to keep the puppies to feed from their mother for another 2 months. Arm will also be working on our advertising website, so pray he'll learn how to do that well and that he'll be diligent to get it done. We want to do it ahead of time to generate interest and get some hits on it before we actually have the puppies.
Thank you so much for your support and prayers as it's been hard to see what God's going to do, but He is working and helping us always. Thank you again for everything.
