Her first paycheck

About a month ago, Catherine's friend Austin decided he and Catherine were going to study together and then she was picking up an application at McDonald's.  We had been encouraging Catherine to look into getting a job for quite some time, and nothing...but Austin says to do it and it's done!  We laugh about the friendship of Catherine and Austin.  They are truly just friends, but sometimes fight like an old married couple.  It's really adorable!  Anyway, Catherine was pretty much hired on the spot, but with everything happening in life she is just now getting started on actually working.  Tonight is her training, but last week she was able to go through orientation before we left town.  With the way the pay periods fell, she was paid yesterday for orientation.  We had opened a bank account here in town for her a couple of weeks ago, and she received her first direct deposit.  She was excited and we are happy for her.  The kiddos have grown up so fast!
