Hello, beautiful people! It’s Karolyn checking in here to report some on the Casa Schneple Happenings. It’s almost like there’s been so much, yet so little, going on here at the same time-it’s difficult to put into words. Let me think of some interesting points to take note of:
- Half of the home is now employed-Caitlin is nannying and coaching water polo. Jojo had an interview last week, and two more in the works for this week. Karolyn has decided to stay unemployed for the time being.
- Karolyn, Caitlin, and our “homeless” friend of the month, Jen (yes, another Jen) all headed home this weekend. Home being Arizona. Caitlin got to see friends from school in Goodyear (and one drove in from Tucson), and Jen and Karolyn both got to see their respective-and each other’s-friends and family. Good times in Scottsdale!
- I think I can speak for all of us when I say that last week was one of discouragement on all of our parts. Not sure what was going on other than some sort of debbie downer attack. We’re all feeling better going into this week and making sure we CLING TO JESUS with all this stuff going on! Folks, we’ve come out of the bitter barn and are ready to play in the hay!
- Since moving in over a month ago, we have only had ONE night where it has been the four of us. It’s taken some adjusting at times, but I believe we all now fully embrace it and see that the Lord has blessed us with much space to reach out to others. It can get quiet around here when people aren’t here! I have loved all the people that come over, and we’ve even invested in a Guest Book. Please remind us to have you sign it when you come. Thanks.
- Our upstairs deck continues to be a wonderful place for phone conversations, reading, napping, and sun bathing. We have had the lawn chair collapse with several of us in it-separately, that is, but on different occassions and to different people (namely myself and Jen). That makes for some loud noises down in the family room and lots of laughter and embarrassment on the roof.
- Jojo is currently representing Casa Schneple at a fundraiser Golf Tournament, somehow affiliated with FCA. Being gone most weekends, I tend to miss much of the goings-on around these parts so try to catch up as quickly as I can!
- This upcoming weekend, several OC friends will be making their way down here for some down time, concerts (Marlena’s!), beach time, and certainly good conversation and much laughter! Casa Schneple is patiently awaiting their arrival!
I believe that’s it for now–I’ll let the roommates know we need to add to this more consistently (sorry, Rals)–and we really need to update our Bios from our first entry. We’ll get to it someday 
It’s crazy how busy things get even without jobs! How did I ever have time for work anyway?
