How did it go last night, visiting your brother? And did you call everyone in your family about the job or just a few to see how long the news takes to travel? :-D
Last night was kinda boring, actually. Went to help them shop for a car, and there was a lot of waiting involved, especially as they weren't completely sure they'd be able to take it home that night once they found the right one, so I couldn't really take off until everything was done - we took my car to go to the dealerships. But they were sooo excited about having a vehicle again (they have been borrowing one since they moved back to WA) that it was hard not to be overjoyed for 'em. ;-) They got a 2001 Ford Taurus. Not a glamorous car, but it's nice and roomy and didn't have all that many miles on it. And we've had Tauruses (Tauri?) before and had good luck with 'em. So there's that. It's a pale silver - nice color.
I called home, but didn't tell the others. I was GOING to break the news to Ben and Anne and looking forward to it, but Margaret had already told them by the time I got there. Stole my thunder...grrr!
I haven't called John yet.
