up to date

Since my last post (ummm...2 months ago) not much has changed. I quit my job at the first place I was employed. I have had jobs in the past I didn't like but this is the first time I every cried because I had to go to work. The place I worked was awful...disorganized....people were very rude for the most part. I did find another job at a smaller hospital. I love it! Things were wonderful there until my hours got cut. After a 3 day depression and a total pick me up from God, I am searching for another j0b. This is the beginning of week 3 and I have had one call back....only to ask preliminary questions. I know God is doing his thing but it is so hard to sit back and watch it unfold. I get worried about paying bills, getting the kids what they need...etc. BUT, God will get us through this, HE will provide. We won't have a big Christmas and I won't be able to buy the things I usually do but I have my family here with me, my church home, the few friends I have made, and my God. All is good!!!

To continue on....Jake is doing great. He gets to train for superload escorts. (this is a good paying gig, so we hear...) We are excited about that. He really likes what he does and he does a great job. He has a heart of gold and patience like no one I know. He tells me stories about encounters he has had with people that make my red roots shine ( I don't really have red hair but I have the attitude that red heads flair). Anyway, these people that are awful to him, he smiles and continues what he is doing without ever being smart with them. Wow. I am a little jealous at his ability to control himself.

The boys are great! Ayden has found a few new friends and Cooper is growing like a weed. He is walking, running, climbing and into it all! He loves giving our belongings a chance to swim in the toilet. Ayden never did these things!!!! I love it though. They both keep us on our toes and challenge us DAILY. Parenting is not easy, I am not perfect but I LOVE IT!
