Playing catch-up

Hello to all of our faithful blog readers! I know that a post is long overdue, and so at the strong urging of a few of you I have finally sat down to update you all on the latest and greatest with the Pecks! First of all, there has been an addition to the family since I have last written, so please meet Gus, our beautiful beta fish which Geoff bought for me for Valentines Day. He is swimming there above the orange flower in case you can't pick him out too well... the best part of having Gus has been that our dog Jeter is insanely jealous if we pay any attention to the fish. Now of course otherwise, Jeter does not want much to do with us (unless food is involved) but walk over to Gus and start making a fuss, and Jeter is suddenly the most attention-seeking dog you have ever seen!

At the beginning of the month, Geoff's family came down to the visit during his spring break and we enjoyed spending time with them! They had not seen where we were living at yet, so they were able to become familiar with the area, and we also did some touristy things, of course. Geoff and his brother, Jordan, also got to spend some quality time together golfing and playing Playstation :)

Geoff is anxiously counting down the days until graduation and we are both looking forward to him earning a paycheck and not being reliant upon my measley income. At the beginning of this year I was not getting enough client hours with my child therapy job, so I have added a second job with HomeInstead Senior care, working with seniors during the day, serving as companion and doing light household chores such as cleaning and preparing meals, as well as providing transportation. God certaintly has been faithful in providing just what we need. Speaking of school, I just received my acceptance letter to the Counseling program at Old Dominion University for this coming fall! We're both very excited that both my school and Geoff's work will be on one side of the dreaded bridge-tunnel, so we are planning on moving to the other side (aka Virginia Beach area) once our current lease is up this summer.

Well... dinner is on the stove and I've about run out of news so I'll sign off for now... good night!
