Update -January

Hello all! Hope that this post finds everyone sticking to their new years resolutions, and finding that the new year is headed off in a positive direction!:o)
Well I'm still looking for employment, but I'm not giving in just yet, I've had two interviews so far, I interviewed at a local engineering firm, and got the 'thanks for your time, it was a tough choice...but if this other candidate doesn't work out...we'll call you' ~~Love getting second place!
Anyhow, had another interview yesterday with a company for an administrative assistant, and I got a really good vibe from the place and would LOVE to work there, lots of room to grow, and new things to learn, which I thrive on! Not saying where yet...don't want to jinx it! WIsh me luck though, and keep everything crossed for me, location is great, pay is great, and the people that I've met so far all seem great too!



Payton is growing like crazy! She's 16 1/2 lbs, and wearing quite a few 6 month old size clothing, she'll be 3 months next week! She's sleeping pretty well now at night, but for the life of me I can't get her to take a nap in her crib during the day, I think she thinks that she's going to be in there for a long time if she sleeps there! lol But she sleeps great on the couch and in her swing! So thats where I've been getting her to take naps.

Booked a yurt on the coast for my 30th!! We're going to take the quads too, get some riding in on the coast & also do some sight seeing, tourist stuff! A few close friends are going to come along! I can't wait! It's going to be a blast! Between my mom and Nicks parents they are going to watch Payton while we're gone, I can't wait to go play! Not to mention take a road trip... I'm restless!

Nick & his dad hired a new bookkeeper at Evergreen, so far she's working out pretty well, and fitting right in with everyone down there. Connie who has been there for almost 20 years is retireing.

Our new years was pretty uneventful, we went to a buddies house took Payton with us....yeah bad idea..she had a melt down by 10:30 or so. Too many people talking too her, too much stimulation, it was past her bed time, we couldn't get her to go down... sigh..... lol
She's alot like mom in the sense that if their is somthing going on that seems fun and interesting, she wants to be a part of it and not miss a moment of it! Just as soon as we put her in her car seat and she knew that was que that we where going, she calmed down. Got her in the truck, and she was awake for most of the 40 min drive. Just looking out the window, and smiling at me from time to time. Luckily she went down once we where home, and slept well that night, so Nick & I didn't torcher our self too badly the next day. lol We didn't even get to stay till midnight, we where home by 11:45. Ahh....the party life of a parent! LOL
