Last Thursday was….

one of THE best days I’ve had in a very long time! I was finally offered the job. For anyone who’s read some of my past posts, you know that I’ve been “playing the waiting game” for about 3 weeks. Thursday brought good news, a great offer, and some very much needed relief! After THREE years of being unemployed/underemployed, I now no longer have to cringe at the thought of looking at a newspaper (because I know I need to look at the WANT ads), or scour the internet looking for job possibilities… Really the list could go on. I’ve spent the last 3 years with so much of my life and my family’s life on hold. I don’t know how much people really realized what Rob and I were going through. Probably not. I’ll say that being jobless or not having a permanent job has consumed me to the core. It’s been a nightmare, I’d never wish on anyone. But, I can now say that I am an employee of the University from which I graduated, which brings great benefits!!

I know I’m again weeks behind on my 365 project, but I’m still taking pics. I’ve just got to get them uploaded at some point. I have several other posts to get caught up on, but right now I’m knee deep in doing new job stuff, vacation bible school, dentists appointments, etc!

Daisy is so funny. I love when she lays like this. She also does this when she stretches.

Tonight at the Boy Scout Court of Honor, Teenager was awarded his Life Rank! Very exciting. So proud of his persistence in meeting his personal goals.

162/365.2011 {Pond Flower:edited}

I’ve decided for days that I can’t get a shot, I’m going to look through my archives and find an old shot and make it new with some editing. I’m just really unmotivated, which makes me sad, and I really don’t want to give up on the 365 project. I love to look through old pics, find what I thought was a ‘dud’ and make it cool. So here goes!

Library

Not sure this pic does the library justice, but I held up my camera while on my way back from dinner break and got this shot. I got a job offer today and of course, I accepted!

Wee Bit Wednesday 6.8.11

I’ve been a bridesmaid one time for my best friend from high school. The sad part…I don’t have any pictures from that day. 🙁

{two} what’s the last thing your do before you fall asleep at night?
It depends what day it is. If it’s a day that I work, that means I get home after midnight, so I drive home, change clothes, have a little snack and watch tv before retiring to the bed. Nights I don’t work, I usually lay in bed with Rob and watch Fox News until we fall asleep.

I wanted to be a doctor for most of my childhood to follow in the steps of 2 of my uncles…Uh, no!

Pool, large laundry room, and sunken tub in the master bathroom

{seven} what’s for dinner tonight?
Tonight I’m working and Rob is doing carpool for soccer tryouts and cub scout day camp. So since he’s not cooking I ran to Taco Bell.

{eight} if someone stopped by your house unannounced on a typical Saturday night, what would they find you doing?
Watching shows on the DVR.

{nine} what’s your average monthly water bill?
Not. a. clue.

{ten} what do you do to relax?
Take a bath, surf the net, watch TV, read a book, sleep…
