New Job

Well I applied for the full-time position at Central Kitchen (where I have been the last 2 months) and got it last Friday!!! It doesn't seem any different, but the pay raise will be nice! I really like it there and all of the people are GREAT!!! I have a B.F.F. (Linda) who is AWESOME!!!
It's weird to have a (paying) job after all these years and nice to have one that I really enjoy! We are truly blessed to both have jobs in this economy and all of the luxuries that we enjoy are amazing! (As I write this Craig and the kids are playing Rock Band on the Wii and are totally rocking out!)

2009!

I can't believe it's already the middle of January!!! December was a whirlwind - concerts, wrestling, parties, family, shopping, wrapping, baking, etc. Then we had a nice, relaxing 16 day break from school and work (Craig did have to go to Boise once). We watched movies, played games and just hung out! Our New Year's Eve was quiet, I had a glass of sparkling cider at midnight with Craig then sat up to wait for Ryan to come home! (He had gone to a regional LDS sponsored dance). Then New Year's Day we headed up to Idaho Falls and played games, ate and watched a little football with Kevin and Sharlene - WAY FUN!!!
Since then we have worked and gone to more wrestling, cleaned (all the laundry got folded today!!!), Activity Days, visited friends, got a new calling - 2nd counselor in Primary, applied for a new job, Courtney started a little job - cleaning house for her YW leader once a week, Joslyn turned 10!!!, Craig won a hotel stay, and is back this week to teaching his ROTC class at the university, Chad got sick and is recovering (croup), and playing in the snow - which is about gone now - YEAH!!! I have some pictures, but they are going to have to wait, because I need to go to BED!!!

Craig's Surprise 40th Birthday Party

Craig was SOOO surprised! But about 20 minutes after he got to the house and said hello to everyone the power went out! And it stayed out for a good hour or so! But it didn't stop us, we just gave all of the kids a flashlight and lit EVERY candle I own and placed them around the frontroom and diningroom and partied on!

We had SOOO much food! I did a Mexican Fiesta theme with shrimp, 7-layer dip, taquitos, vegetable and fruit trays,chips and salsa, cram puffs and 2 lemon poppyseed cakes (Craig's favorites!) I served Sprite in cups that had been dipped in blue sugar.
