Update

     I know it has been awhile since I have caught you up with the Roberts' household. Actually, that is a good thing-we have been operating on a new normal and it's ok! Dwayne has done well being back at work for the past four months. He has had to re-certify in all his qualifications since he was off the premises for more than a year. Even got a call from an east coast security company to make sure he was not out of the country for illegal activities. Think he was ok on that one, he was not even out of the county! Has passed them all except one, that involves remembering a major amount of data. Think story problems on steroids! He will be able to retake that one. 

     A couple of things we could use your prayers on are as follows. Dwayne will have another MRI the middle of October. We don't have a date yet. We would appreciate prayers, that there have been no changes since July.  Also, Southern California Edison is going to be doing a significant layoff over the next few months, 700 people. To some, they will be offered early retirement-but they have to be 55 years old, by the cut off of November 16th.  Dwayne will miss that by 11 days. But as of November 8th he has 30 years with the company. So we are unsure of where that will leave him. 

     Our family has grown by one. Nathan surprised me with a cat for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. His name is Jeeves and he has settled right in and been great company.
