Celebrations at the Nashville Perrys!



"We" just finished our second cataract surgery and so far the ol eye got an update-- a lifetime free of contacts or glasses-- if all goes according to plan. But better than that, John's boss took him to lunch on Monday and said that he had been promoted to "Partner". His name was submitted to a leadership group at the firm and he was voted in unanimously. He received a note from one of the guys of welcome, and he said what a fine addition John was and that he does all things with excellence. Rachel and I don't exactly know what exactly partner means, but we celebrated him with a candlelight steak dinner Monday night. The two Perry girls here are awful proud. I knew you'd want to know.

Other news:
RR is a bit overwhelmed with the "more homework" part of high school. She just was voted captain of the vball team, and is playing really well. Nice girls on the team, great new friends-- and she looks adorable in her catholic school girl uniform.

Since we couldn't go to the USC/UVA game (boo hoo!!), I listed the tickets on ebay. The bidding should be over around 5:00 PM today, and this morning the price is at $256. To ease the guilt of feeling like a scalper, we'll donate all the money to Immanuel. Have you checked out our website? Check here. Love to all.

Isn't John great!!
