Hello everyone! I do hope that everyone is doing well. I know I do not get on here much but I just wanted to jump on and say a few things...

Happy Birthday to Gram! I sent you a message on your facebook page and I asked Jen to relay my message and love the other night at the dinner in Hamden. I aslo want to wish a Happy Birthday all the November babies... I hope you all enjoy your birthday and also the special time with your family and friends!

I am currently applying to the Town of Walton DPW and to the Delaware County DPW. I am trying to get into something that will offer Jen and me benefits and the potential to actually have a retirement after 20+ years. The steadiness in hours/days of work would be nice too. So some prayers if available would be welcomed. I am tired of having 3 jobs, 1 full time yet unsteady and poor paying, with 2 part-time/as needed that doesn't always line up with days that I don't have work at my primary job! haha...

Sahara, I hope you have a great day on Saturday at your baby shower! I know Jen is excited to be there and partake in the festivities.

I have some more prayer requests for those in my family. My dad has not been doing well for many years because of the severity of his health, but with my mom only being gone just 3 months now, he is taking it really hard. He is seriously thinking, based on his health deteriorating, he may not last another year. My uncle is going into brain surgery sometime within the next couple months for his Parkinson's. With his age and the seriousness of brain surgery, its a 50/50 shot he will come away from surgery alive.

There are other things but I am so tired and overwhelmed that I am gonna just cut this off here. I hope everyone is doing well!

Joe
