A Rainy day in Canton

It's a dreary day here and I couldn't wait to come home and get into my sweatpants.  I also can't wait until we pick up our NEW CAR this weekend because the mornings are getting increasingly chilly, and the heat in our current vehicle does not get warm until I am almost all the way to work.  We are the proud owners of a midnight blue Volvo Cross Country!  We bought it about two weeks ago, but have never seen it, as it is in Chicago.  We are trusting that my dad knows what he's doing when buying a car because he said we should go for it.  Dad, if this one's a bust, can we have yours?

This weekend is also the Chicago Marathon!  Having been sick for a week, I am feeling a bit weak and unprepared.  Hopefully my training has left me with enough of a base to make it through all 26.2 miles!  I will make one last plea for any of you willing to contribute to Team World Vision.  I am running to change lives in Zambia, and your contributions can make that happen.  Visit the website on the right-hand side of this page to donate.

I also have another PA school interview on Friday.  This one is at Midwestern University in the Chicago area.  It will be a busy weekend!

Please continue to be praying for our Dad (Baldauff) as he continues to battle cancer.  He is sick, weary, and in pain.  We believe in a God who can and does heal in miraculous ways....we would appreciate your prayers to that end.  For a more detailed update, see the link to "Mom and Dad's Blog" on the side of this page.

Thanks to all of you reading...have a great week!
