My posts are a bit more spaced out, but I'm still writing on a fairly regular basis. I left off around Bryn's birthday, March 9. 

The day before that, Paige had a day off school and she and Bryn spent it shopping together. Bryn added to her shoe collection and Paige found her prom dress. While I was disappointed not to have that mother/daughter "say yes to the dress" shopping moment, I'm glad she got it and had the approval of someone her age. I still get to go and accessorize (shoes/jewelry) with her.

And the very next day, she was asked to Prom! AJ drew the letters P-R-O-M and had them on her desk with a flower 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th hours. 8th hour, AJ and Paige have study hall together, so he met her with the final drawing, a question mark, —and more flowers— and asked her to go with him to Prom. How lucky she is!

As Bryn's spring break ended, she asked to spend her birthday weekend in the Dells with a few other college friends. They had great weather and were able to go cart outside as well as enjoy the waterpark inside.

Abby was home for break the following week after taking the first weekend to jaunt in Minneapolis to visit a roommate who's doing an internship there. Abby spent much of her break working on her senior communications project, which involves interviewing foster families and transcribing their words. I'm interested to read it when she finishes. Abby made sure she got some Bella and Lucy time in while she was in town.

I ordered my new computer since my freelance business has taken off. It's a 27" and boy is it nice! Jeff helped me rearrange the furniture in the dining room, now my office, last weekend. I have 3 more weeks at Readers Digest working 25 hrs/week, then I plan to just freelance for a while and see how that goes.

Paige had 3 pieces of her artwork chosen to be on display at the Library during Youth art month: a sculpture from her 1st semester Ceramics class and 2 pieces from her Drawing class. Not sure why, but she wouldn't pose with her art for me.

Jeff went to Virginia again last week for work and is teaching a few more hours at MSOE now that it's the spring (final) trimester and the students' projects require more of his time. While Abby was home over break, Jeff remarked that his firm was hiring and why didn't a friend of hers apply? He did, and just accepted Ring & DuChateau's offer! So Mark (Abby's old boyfriend) will be working with Jeff! Weird.
