A much needed UPDATE!

I've come to realize that this is needing an update! I'm a year older, quit one job and am now living life the way that I want to!!


My 29th birthday was on the 16th. I took the day and did things that I had wanted to do.
First, I went for a road trip near Boulder and managed to find every single muddy road and got the car dirty:
While up near Boulder, managed to go to the Celestial Seasonings
Factory and went for a tour. BORING!!







The necessities for a good rainy day drive:


cell phone and soda. What else is there?




That same day, I signed my contract with the couple I now nanny for. They knew it was my birthday and bought me chocolates and a rose bush! How nice was that??
For dinner, Ben and I went to Gunther Toody's with my parents and my sister, Rachel. Good food, but not my favorite. They did bring me my "birthday cake".




That's pretty much my day in a nutshell! I had a blast!! It rained the entire day (then dumped a few feet of snow that weekend), but I loved it!! I can't wait until I turn 30!!
More on my nanny job (and the adorable 7 week old that I watch) in my next post!

The Job of the Jobless

I have discovered that one of the most discouraging things in life is searching for a job, getting an interview and getting turned down.

I now see why men are intimidated on asking women out- the fear of rejection sucks!!

That was my thought for the day. I have 2 interviews for today. I don't have any hope of getting the first job, but wouldn't mind working with the second family.. or am I?

Look out Kennewick- Here I come!

I never thought I would be this excited to be going to Kennewick.. ever.

Well, I just bought a round-trip ticket to Seattle for April 25th and 26th!! (Thanks, Mom) I finally am getting a chance to see Kira- something that time and money have been denying for a while now.

I can't wait to show pictures!
