Life Goes On
So, I know you've all been waiting with baited breath to hear how things are going out here in sunny SoCal (cool slang term for southern california). In light of that, here it is! We've been living out here for about 4 months now, i can't believe how time has flown. I'll start with Andy.
Andy has finished his first term of school at Gnomon School of Visual Effects and is now enjoying some down time until it all starts again. Only 6 more to go! His projects all turned out really well, and he enjoyed his classes a lot, of course excelling in them all (although I"m sure he'd never admit it!). We aren't sure if he gets some kind of report card or something because my hubby just hates asking questions, but in any case he did well. He spent the rest of his time working on a very time consuming project for the Visual Effects Society (like the Screen Actors Guild, but for VE people). The VES is having an award ceremony this February where they focus on VE stuff in movies, TV, and video games and it's a pretty big deal. (For Example, last year they presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to George Lucas and this year it will go to Brian Singer...I think that's his name anyway). So Andy was part of a very small team of students who put together an intro reel for the award show...it's turning out to be very cool and worth all the headaches. I mean, my poor baby had to wake up as early as 8am some days!! (::teasing::) All in all he seems very happy and excited about what the future will bring.
Now me.
I'm still working the same job at CHLA and really getting to enjoy the kids I work with. Despite some frustrations with co-workers I am happy. I also really feel like God is using those frustrations to work on my ability to be compassionate and humble. There is not a lot of grace amongst co-workers here and I know God is challenging me to be different. Otherwise I fill my time with scrapbooking, Sim playing, and my super cool new toy that turns Andy's road bike into a stationary bike.
Also, we have found a church that we are really excited about. We've been attending new member classes and learning about the specifics in terms of their doctrine and practices. No church is perfect, but I see us finding a home here. Praise God!
Alright, that's enough...I'll post pictures soon.

I'm glad school is going so well for Andy. After watching my husband play Final Fantasy X (a gift from my brother to him) I have one big problem (among a few smaller ones) with the game and most video games: the women are wearing either practically nothing, skin tight clothing, or clothing that is very sexually suggestive. My request for Andy is to make sure the women in his video games are dressed in a respectful amount of clothing, not snow suits, but something tasteful. I'm sure Andy is doing a great job at all he is doing.
I have one of those trainers for my bike too, Kate, and it's the main way I workout besides taking walks. I love watching a movie while biking. It doesn't beat a good bike ride on a nice day, but it works when you have a seven month old and can't leave her at home alone. :)
Glad things are going well.
