Santa Claus really came to town...

Wow I've got to be a better updater(sp?)! Ok, so Christmas was great but quick this year. We spent the days with family, saw some old friends that were in town, had lots of food, movies, games and such. Skip got an iPod, which he has wanted for sooooo long, so that was fun.(We got the ProductRED one, so we are doing our part!) We got seasons of The Office on DVD which we love, cold hard cash, clothes, lots of good stuff. But Reese, dude, she racked up! It was, as you can see from the pic, an Elmo Christmas! :) It was so much fun seeing her get so excited!! God is good--and that is made even more evident at this time of year. His provision is amazing.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to work I go...

Well, as of tomorrow morning at 8am, I am re-entering the workforce! I have been fortunate enough this past year since having Reese to be able to work only part-time, and then the past two months to be able to be home with her full-time. What a blessing! We have been praying for God to provide us a way for some extra income this year...with Skip being a first year teacher. Anyway, a dear friend(thanks Matt!), was faithful to pray and hook me up with a friend of his at the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine. I emailed her and things went pretty fast from there! The HR people there have been amazing and as of tomorrow I am going to be the assistant to one of the sales directors. She is a really neat lady and I'm really excited to work at such a cool place! Check it out here!! I have committed to work full time for at least a year....I'm so sad to not be home with Reese everyday(but I have family and friends that are amazing beyond words that are helping make that easier by keeping her :)...so please pray that I,and Reese,adjust to this new schedule and that I truly enjoy my job.(I'm already enjoying my new Banana work clothes-I love me some "on clearance" Banana!) I am so thankful for God's provision and faithfulness and know he will continue to be faithful in this chapter of our lives!! I mean, hey, I get my own cube...what's cooler than that?? :)

It's about stinkin time...

Something to read???

Daddy, you seriously need to post something for your faithful blog readers to read. Otherwise I'm going to have to post something from my ABC book and I don't think most people would find it all that exciting. Waiting for more than 4 months now on something new...

Your daughter,
