And to help keep warm..........
Troy and I had a very deep conversation about 3 weeks ago, and came to the conclusion that it would be in our families best interest for me to go back to work. I called a few friends that work for the State of Oregon in various offices and asked if they had any recommendations on where I should apply. I was referred to the lady that recommends people for temporary state positions. I turned in my PD100 (state application) and my resume to her on Wednesday, I got a call on Friday for an interview at the Department of Adminstrative Services for Wednesday. I went to the interview yesterday and it went very smoothly. I was told that they would make thier decision by Friday this week. I got called today, and she asked me to fill out the background form, and as long as I passed that the job is mine and I can start on Monday. She said my two references had amazing things to say about me, and that she enjoyed meeting me during my interview, and I was the canidate for the job! :0) So I am now, gainfully employed! I thought it would take a lot longer to get on at the state, but God works in mysterious ways! I am excited to see where this venture leads me! I know that it will be really good for me to get back out there. Although the whole childcare thing is a little scary for me, I know that God will give me the direction and wisdom to select the right providers. I have several options available to me right now, which is a blessing. My biggest challenge is working around my kids' school schedules.
Sorry for rambling, I am just very excited about this new opportunity! Thanks for following me in this new journey! :0) I'll let you know how my first day on the job goes!
Why is it so hard for everyone to understand why I stand beside him and support him unconditionally? Is there so little faith in humanity that people don't believe there is such a think as faithfulness and devotion? Is it so hard to believe that marriage truly can last till death do you part?
So many people ask my how I can be "so" supporting of my husband and his military career. People say I have had to give up so much because he re-enlisted. But the truth of the matter is the only thing I have had to sacrafice is time. Time spent with my husband because he is called away from us for duty. But I have gained a whole other dimension to my family because of it. The military is like a big family. You may think that as wives we have to endure a tour of duty, or a deployment alone, but in truth we are never alone. Our extended family is always there for us.
I love you and miss you baby!I will keep the home fires burning!
Sorry for rambling on, it's late and hard to articulate my thoughts! Thanks for bearing with me! :0)
57 more days and counting!
Halloween this year was quite exciting!
We had a princess, a dancing duck, a fairy and a WITCH!
The girls had a blast trick-or-treating and visiting with family this year. They made out as bandits with buckets full of candy and treats! Thank goodness there are a few people that handed out sensible treats as well so it wasn't all a sugar overload!
Checkout their cool costumes!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Some shimmer lotion, a little blush and some sparkling gloss makes Tabbey the bell of the ball! What a beautiful princess she is!
A little green stage make-up and a black wart made from putty and Katie was the witch of all witches this Halloween! "Give me your candy or I'll turn you into a toad!"
A little shimmer lotion, some blush and pink lip gloss completes the look of this pretty little fairy. Just too sweet to be reckoned with!
What can I say......QUACK!!!!QUACK!!!!
Sam is the perfect duck, and you should see her wag her little tail!
