Doing Okay

Still don't have a job, but at least I got to go to El Paso for the weekend and see my grandmother as well as meet my boy Jaden Timothy Heimer.

My grandmother is doing okay but not the kind of okay that means she'll be around for another year. She's pretty much given up and is ready to die but her children won't let her. I was glad that Good Shepherd gave me the opportunity to see my grandmother one last time. She's always been a big woman but I was so shocked when I saw her because she's gotten so tiny. I never realized my grandma could be that small.

Good points of my three day weekend in El Paso ( I left Friday the 13 and came back to Waco on Monday the 16) is that I spent some quality time with Jaden Timothy Heimer. He easily became my favorite baby. Here are some pictures.
This was Sunday morning, after the English service was done. I actually met him on Saturday afternoon but I didn't have my camera so I didn't get a picture. He loves gnawing on things and I think he especially loves water.



I also got a picture of Jaden with my little brother, the PFC soldier that just got back from Iraq and I haven't seen in over two years. It was great getting to see him again.

It was hilarious watching my little brother holding Jaden. He did artillery up in Iraq and delt with weapons, explosives and such and yet, when I handed him the baby, he looked seriously freaked out. It was hilarious.

I'll put up more pictures later. I need to head home since I've been hanging out with Kevin and his family all day.

Thank you for the prayers. Please continue praying for me. I'll hear about a possible job in the middle of next week. I really want this job. I'll tell y'all more about it after I find out that I got it. Take care!
