Update



So I guess it has been too long since my last real post. Here is a pretty concise update on the Rhoden family...


For those of you who don't know....we are moving to SEATTLE! Ok, the greater Seattle-Tacoma area. We aren't exactly sure where we'll end up as my parents and wonderful brother and sister-in-law have started a commune in Spanaway...so we will see! What we do know is that we are leaving Florida in our 2006 Kia Sedona mini van on August 1 and plan to arrive on the west-side on about August 14thish...

  • I finished school! For those of you who don't know, I taught 9th grade English this past school year at Lake Region High School. It was a really rough year. Between the violent outbursts, the cell phones and ipods, and the utter disrespect, the kids really wore me down. But all-in-all, my year wasn't so bad...but I'm glad its over!

  • Here are my kiddos performing Romeo and Juliet


  • Charles is still working hard with FX ministries at our church. He will be taking a bunch of rowdy middle school boys camping in July along the Kissimmee River. It will be pure torture, but I think boys like things like that....Girls, on the other hand like slumber parties...here is a a pic from the most recent Girls of Xcellence slumber party at my house.



Continue to pray that the Lord will direct our steps as we close things out here and prepare for our transition. Charles is planning on attending seminary and I'm looking for a job. I'm not sure if I want to teach again, so we'll see what doors open up! Seattle here we come!!!!!! Until then....we're gonna soak up some rays!

We went to Cocoa Beach to watch the shuttle blast off last weekend.

P.S. I'm so relieved to find out it was John Locke in the coffin. But how in the world will they make it back to the Island? January is so far away!!!!
