hip hip hooooray!

amen. tonight the board voted and our positions were restored. that's right folks, matt and i are both gainfully re-employed!!! yaaahhoooo! so, there will be no pan handling in the streets and pushing shopping carts containing rather large dogs. sorry for those of you interested in seeing that sight. although, i agree with you, it might be kinda an awesome sight.

good ol' arnie (the governator and i are tight, we are on nickname basis) restored some much needed dinero to education in cali. i guess he didn't want to be dead last in spending per pupil. 47th is quite comfortable...but people might start talking if we are dead last. let's not get into that. matthew and i feel so relieved and like a weight has been lifted. as much as we had tried very hard to be positive for the past 2.5 months, it has been stressful at times and hard to be patient and trust things will work out.

god is good and we are joyful. thanks to everyone for all your prayers, good wishes, encouragement, beers...whatever did the trick at any given moment :) much love! matt and whit

ps. disclaimer...over the weekend in FULL procrastination mode, i tried like 80 times and i couldn't get pics to upload. don't know what the prob was. i will try again soon, i'm sure it was just being wierd. (yeah yeah, i know you don't believe me...)
