However, it was ok. Friends of Peter and Cheryle were over for breakfast and they offered us to borrow their bikes until we have a car. I am SO SO excited. There is a path that runs from Eltham into the city and we have been dying to take a day, ride into the city, visit the market, and have a picnic. Now we can! I'm so grateful for Joe and Mandy's generosity. We picked the bikes up today and they are just beautiful. Oh, and more good news, because Joe is starting his first shift on Monday at the gym! Now that his accreditation has gone through he gets to start work. I know it is going to be good for him, because he's started to feel like he is going crazy not doing anything. Also, the security of having a job until something better comes to fruition is just awesome. Now, hopefully I can get one because who knows what I'll be doing all day without him, 'sigh', I'm going to miss him. It is amazing how much you cling to each other when you are the only security that each has. He gets to work the floor at the gym, but the big bucks will come when he gets clients. Actually, he already has two. Funny story about that also. Everyone has been teasing me that the "yummy mummies" at the gym are going to be all over my hunky hubby. I really don't care, because he is mine and so they can only look :) Not only that, but he is so proud of his wedding ring and the fact that he is married. Anyhow, his first two clients are gay! No yummy mummies for me to worry about. I think it will be really fun for Joe to train these two guys together, it's just great.
There he is! You can just see us in the background there too! I'm sure there'll be many more Quang updates. I suppose that is all for now though. A day that seemed to have gloomy prospects turned out not so bad at all. Tomorrow we will head into mass here in Eltham before Joe has basketball practice, and perhaps I can get some zumba in too. Who knows, one day at a time!
I hope everyone at home had a very happy Friday. I miss you all, so very much. Sending long distance hugs and love!
We pray for you, please pray for us!

ReplyDeleteEmily, I've been reading your entries and your writing is amazing, makes me sad that I didn't get a chance to hear your thesis because I heard it was beautiful. In any case, it seems like things are already starting to look up, even if it's just bicycles to get you guys around! Hooray for Joe's first day! And, as for Quang,he seems like a sweet boy. Speaking of, if you have not added it to your places to visit one day, you should visit Vietnam. It is absolutely beautiful! I'm hoping that I can go back again in the future, after dental school. Anyway, I love reading your blog. So inspirational. :)
