New News

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the things that developed yesterday. We got a very good offer on our house that was accepted by both us and the buyer. We are hoping to close on May 15. The home inspection will happen within the next 7 days so please pray that this goes well and that we can move forward with the sale. 

We finalized the offer on the house in Gulfport, finally. We hope to close on it a few days after our hattiesburg house closes. 

Thank you all for your prayers. They worked! 

On another note, Wes's dad had a heart stint put in yesterday. He is doing well and is expected to come home today. He had a 99% blockage. This came as a surprise. Donna and Gene, we are thinking of you.

And finally a fun thing, I discovered TWITTER yesterday. I am so excited about the possibilities in may offer for my new library position. Twitter allows users to post messages or announcements to the twitter site either by web or text message. Then the user can feed those announcements to their webpage for everyone to see. The people who want to can subscribe to the feed and have the announcements sent straight to their mobile phones. What a great tool for schools. Parents can get updates about school closings, upcoming events, anything sent right to their phone. Another very cool thing is that you can feed your blog to twitter. I think it would be so exciting to have a book review blog. The students can write their reviews and then they will be automatically sent to the school's webpage through twitter. AWESOME! If you want to follow my personal twitter page go to www.twitter.com/abrooke8, sign up, and click follow on my page. I don't see much use for twitter personally, but definitely for businesses and schools. Enjoy it.
