Graduation and Life After...

Wow, we haven't updated in a while!

We both officially GRADUATED this past Saturday!  A HUGE STEP!!!  We were excited to spend time with Summer's family who came to Longview for graduation - we love you all!

We both have our diplomas now, and are ready to jump headfirst into "the real world" - which means that Jon is looking for work out of state (while still working full-time for LeTourneau custodial), and Summer is now working full-time (as in, 5 jobs, 40ish hours a week).

Summer has been substitute teaching for Pine Tree ISD.  So far, she's subbed for 2 3rd grade classes and a 4th grade class.  Part of the reason behind subbing is to discover whether or not she should pursue a teaching certification in whatever state we end up.  At this point, still not sure...

Jon is seeking to apply for an aviation mechanic position.  If you happen to know of any positions out of state, feel free to let us know - we're searching!

In the meantime, we will continue to chug along here in Longview - Summer has started working for LETU Summer Camps while finishing her work for chapel (a job she's had for 3 1/2 years - so sad to be leaving soon!); she's finished working for First Presbyterian Church's nursery, has started subbing (as mentioned above) and is still selling jewelry with Premier Designs (if you're interested in getting FREE jewelry, let us know - she's willing to travel, and would love to see family and friends!).

Since school let out, Summer has been fighting exhaustion and illness - it looks like the semester is finally catching up!  Please pray that recovery will be swift and thorough, and that we will continue to be well in the Richards home!

Well that's all for now, folks!  As always, we covet your prayers - and thank you for praying!
