Lots of humidity, high temperatures, and mosquitoes. I'm happy to discover that the first 9 days of August have provided cool temps, comfortable humidity levels, and few bugs! It's unseasonably cool here in the Twin Cities, and I'm loving it. Even back in Oklahoma they are enjoying temps in the mid-80's instead of the usual 100's.

Phone interview last Tuesday, now the wait begins. Really want this job, but have to accept that I did my best and it's out of my hands. I'm reminded of the scene from "Facing the Giants", where the coach tells the boys, "If we win, we praise Him. If we lose, we praise Him."
That needs to be my attitude also. I get the job, I will praise Him.
