It has been quite awhile since I have posted anything about Jessa and her school situation.
FANTASTIC!
She has thrived so much. Her attitude is different, her study habits are different, her desire to go to school is better. It is fantastic!
Not only is here school situation better, but her counselor met with us two weeks ago and said she has made huge strides the last two months and he felt that we had met all the goals we set out for in counseling!!!! Just two months ago there was still no end in sight. She could barely make it to her next appointment from week to week without asking when she was going to get to go again.
Thank you, THANK YOU for your prayers everyone. I know you were praying. The principal sent me after a meeting with her and Jessa's teacher and said, "I just knew after talking with you that we at LCS needed to do everything we could to help Jessa". What an amazing feeling to know her principal is praying for her.
And one other interesting fact that I don't think I ever shared. Her counselor sent me an e-mail a few days after she started her new school and said, "BTW, your daughter and my daughter are in the same class". Coincidence?? I don't think so! I didn't even know he had a younger daughter!
God is good...(Can I get an AMEN, anyone?)

Has it been a month already?
Wow, I said I would be busy, but this has been ridiculous! I haven't even shared pictures with you from our trip...
April has been the strangest month. Here's a quick run down.
1. Finished at Tri-Tech. I really loved that place. I miss it.
2. Joel got bronchitis - missed a week of school
3. Was told our school would be closing down and we would all be placed somewhere else in the district. (Our district is losing $4-5 million in State funding)
4. School Board voiced their concern about the alternative program closing and we were taken back off the chopping block. Jobs saved (for now).
5. My brother (36 years-old) proposed to his girlfriend of 4 years! They set a July 3, 2010 date. I can't believe he's getting MARRIED. I thought he would be single forever!
6. Jessa broke her nose (Jessa's nose vs. Jacob's knee - guess who lost?)
7. Fell at school (ie. work), hurt my back and have spent the last week down.
8. I have read three wonderful books while resting. I can't wait to post about them later. God has some good author's in his corner.
9. Joel and his friend broke our dining room window playing elephant ball in the backyard. Glad he is feeling better!
I told you it has been strange! Ok, 15 minutes in the chair is all I can take. Back to the couch and my icepack.
Feliz de Cinco de Mayo! (Happy May 5th).
