Update

Many of you have been asking how the internship has been going, so I thought I'd update real quick. It's been going really well. I'm learning a lot, but there is SO much that I don't know, especially when it comes to graphics, animation, movie-making, etc. That's all part of it too. You have to know how to make weather maps and then animate them to show fronts moving and that kind of stuff, so I really have a lot to learn! Sometimes it's kind of frustrating because I feel like I should know more, but I just have to remind myself that I've never done this before and that I'm just an intern. They don't expect me to know everything yet. Anyway, I am going two days a week and have been for about a month now. The guy that I've been working with is really nice and really knowledgeable.

Being gone from my family for just a few hours 2 days a week is a lot harder than I thought it would be. To be honest, I never want to be away from them at all. That's probably the hardest part about the internship. Otherwise, I'm really enjoying it. I think this will be really telling as to whether or not I do this as a career or not. I am coming to find out that I just really love teaching, so maybe I would teach Geosciences somewhere if I'm not going to become a Broadcast Meteorologist. We will see what God has in store for us.

In other news, Hope has Bronchitis. She was running fever on Thursday, but it was real low-grade. She was also kind of cranky and kept telling me her mouth hurt, so I chaulked it up to teething. However, she woke up Thursday night at like 10:30 screaming, coughing, throwing up, and gasping for air (this after an hour and a half under a tornado warning and baseball sized hail! We had cleaned out our hallway closet ready to get in!). It was all really scary. None of us slept a wink that night, Hope just cried and coughed all night long and had a really high fever. It was so sad! Friday morning I got her in right away. They listened to her lungs and they were all clear, so that was good. She got a diagnosis of Bronchitis and two shots of antibiotics in her legs (she also got a suppository for her constipation). She was MAD at me after all that! Now she's on Zithromax for the next few days. She seems to be doing better, although she is still running a low fever and is coughing really badly. Everytime she coughs she starts crying because it hurts so bad. I feel so bad for her. Anyway, just pray for us (mainly Hope right now). We definitely count our blessings because she has hardly been sick at all since she was born. It was just our time to pay some sick dues!

Stephen is doing well, just getting ready for Easter and planning for VBS, etc. He keeps himself busy no matter what time of year it is! Sorry no pictures! I will try to get some up next time!

Love you all!
