Correction re Linh's Job

It was just pointed out to me that I did not update info re Linh's job that she started this week.
The day after Linh received her job offer from the United Methodist Church Family Services, she received another "therapist" job offer from the United Summit Center (USC see http://www.uscwv.org). She ended-up accepting the USC job - which also pays $3,000/year more.

Updates

Linh started her job this past Monday (August 15th). She is now going through a 5-day orientation (in Clarksburg, WV) and on Monday she will actually start working at her office in Philipi, WV.
Just before starting her job, Linh went on a 10-day trip to Santa Ana, CA to see her Vietnamese friend. While there she visited San Diego and boarded the USS Midway aircraft carrier!

A New Journey Begins

The last few days have been very busy for Linh (and me).
Last Sunday night (Linh's graduation day), Linh, her mother $ grandad and I had our last dinner in Morgantown at the Texas Roadhouse (one of Linh's favorite restaurants). Linh's grandad was amazed by & loved the free peanuts and all of the wildlife mounts (buffalo, moose, dear, elk, caribou, wild turkeys, bass fish, rattlesnakes, etc). He took dozens (if not hundreds) of pictures.
On Monday Linh, her mother/grandad and I drove from Morgantown to my cabin (2+ hours). During the drive, we stopped at several old, abandoned log cabins so that grandad could take pics. Bottom pic = grandad and I enjoying a tree-hung swing.
At 5AM on Tuesday, Linh and I drove to Dulles airport to drop off her mother and grandad. They safely arrived back in Saigon yesterday.
During the last couple of weeks we have experienced many events, feasts, celebrations, people and emotions.
Linh is now back in Morgantown continuing her job search (which we began 6+ weeks ago). She has had several telephone & face-to-face interviews and several more are scheduled in the near future. Linh's new journey is well underway. I will keep all of you posted if/when there are any updates.

WVU DONE!

Linh's graduation was at 9AM this morning - very cold and windy day - but - at least the sun was out.
Top pic is Linh and I in front of the WVU Coliseum where her commencement was held. Witnessing/experiencing her graduation was a very emotional event for me - I teared-up several times.
Center pic = everyone who attended Linh's graduation except for my brother & his wife who left before pics were taken. Others in the pic are Linh's boyfriend's (Thomas - on far right in pic) family.
Bottom pic = eating lunch after graduation.
It has been a very mixed emotion day - happiness for all and, for me, a little sadness because a long journey has ended. A new journey now begins - especially for Linh.
