Moving In!

I'm sorry it has been such a long time since I've written. Life has been crazy to say the least. We are moving into our new house this week. We have been building it for the last 6 months. Jess has loved overseeing the whole process from designing the floor plan to laying the flooring. Its been so good for him to jump back into the construction field. We still have a lot of work to do, but we didn't want to wait any longer to move in.

Overall, Jess is doing really good. He is still dealing with a lot of nerve pain and the Doctors still haven't been able to figure out a way to make it go away. But we still keep praying that God will take the pain away.

I'm working part time at a local bank. Its been a HUGE adjustment, but Its been a great place to work. Briley doesn't like mom or dad to leave, but she does pretty well.

We can't believe how big she is getting. She will be 20 months next week. Talk about time flying. She is such a sweet heart and loves to play outside and just recently LOVES her baby dolls.

Thanks so much to everyone for all your love and support in the last 8 months. We are so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such great family and friends!

Hello Jess & Emily,
Just on a whim I decided to see tonight if you had ever gotten back to your blog site and voila you had, albeit last Tuesday, but I'm not complaining. Glad to hear you have been so busy, keeps you out of mischeif that is for sure. All is well here, Trish and I leave on July 2 for vacation. We are going to Utah for 2 1/2 weeks to see her family and to bring Chase back with us. He has been in Utah with his dad since May 18th, I have been enjoyng my summer break, (Trish really hates me in the summers since teachers get the summer off)....:-) Jacob will be a senior this coming year and Kayal a junior. Marina is bringing up the rear and she will ne in 6th grade. Chase graduated this spring so this fall he will start the ACT program and focus on learning vocational skills. Did you ever get the letter I mailed you Jess? I hope it was helpful information for you. As always, I continue to pray for you and your family. Glad to hear you have been helping work on the house Jess, it is good for you to keep yourself active.
God Bless you all, may HE keep you well and may you have peace at heart. John & Trish Conrad

Jess
It's been a long time since our last contact. It's really good to know you are getting better every day. I'm happy for your health improvements.
I am OK. I am working at a microfinance institution in Mendoza, Argentina. I have been living with my uncle since May 2008. He got separated from his wife so I invited him to live with me. I have a girlfriend called Marita. We've been dating since last September. We are making plans for our future together! I sometimes travel to San Juan to visit my parents and my sister.
I hope you keep getting better. Love you all: Briley, Emily and Jess. Sebi Balverde
