I have a job! I have a job! I have a job! Three weeks into being home from vacation I just finished working my first week of work. And it’s not at McDonalds or any fast food joint. I am not going to be condemned to the fast food jungle pits where survival of the fittest doesn’t exist. Actually I have been hired, (wonder of wonders) to do a rewarding job that I am excited to do. I’m now a therapist for autistic kids. So I will be spending the next several months helping autistic kids learn to cope with the world and learn basic skills. How to talk to other people and hold a conversation and all that good jazz. Which is really incredibly awesome. I guess I’ll find out in a couple months but, they say that you end up watching kids literally bloom out of hard shells. If I can survive through having my glasses wacked off and be stubborn enough to insist that they ask for their food, I think it will be really cool. Matt is officially decided to try and work as a freelance web designer and got his first small job this week. He’s excited and rather daunted but, it’s a good time to try. If you care to see his work go look at http://matt.freels.name . So we are officially on our way to being gainfully employed!

Thanks so much for all your news. It was great to be able to check on you every once in a while. I am not the best at responding to email, but did want you to know I enjoyed reading of your travels. By the way, congratulations on your job. I hope it is going well. I have taught children with special needs for many years and currently have several children with autism. You may want to check out The Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. It’s a great read with deep perspective on the mind of a child with autism.
