Bad news and Good news

First the bad news: If you are so inclined, please say a prayer for Steve's dad. He has a tumor in his bladder. When he had it checked out last month, they said they're pretty sure it's malignant. He was scheduled to go back this Thursday, then go for surgery on the 10th. He didn't make it that long. His girlfriend called last night to let us know he's in the hospital. He was pee'ing blood and they've scheduled him for immediate surgery. She's supposed to call one of us today to let us know how he's doing.

Now the good news: Steve got his Kellogg's testing date!!!! It's August 22. This weekend is supposed to be a mandatory work weekend and the lady in charge of hiring full-timers said they will be watching him work in leiu of him having a formal review (which is required before taking the test). His supervisor has told him before that they like Steve's work, so that part should be cake. He just needs to work like he always works. The test will be the rough part. It's an aptitude test and Steve just isn't a great test taker. He knows what he's doing, but doesn't do well on written tests. We've agreed that if he gets hired fulltime that I'll keep working for at least 6 months, maybe a year, so that we can get financially comfortable before I become a SAHM. WooHoo! I can hardly wait!
