He Never Fails

Have you ever wondered why it is that as soon as you start to loose all hope and you start to doubt your faith and God, that is when he shows that He is still there and taking good care of you? This was the case yet again for me. I had reached my final straw, I knew that my only hope was that our stimulus check from the government would be in the mailbox when we got home. Sure enought that plus a couple of rebates that I had sent in for at one point where in the mailbox. God knows what He's doing doesn't He? I just wish he would show me a sign towards a job...soon!!

Looking Over WSU

During our flight home from CA, Garratt was amused to find that he could see the WSU campus from the plane (picture 1). He was then even more amused to find that he could also see our APT. complex from the plane (picture 2).

Traveling to CALI

Hello Everyone!!! I am so glad to be home. Not that I didn't love seeing all of you in CALI. We went to CA for two weeks for a various of reasons. 1st of all was so that we could celebrate Faith's 1st birthday with all her friends and family. That went really well. She got all sorts of fun gifts. The second reason for the trip was to go to my Father-in-Laws Wedding. That went really well. There were just a few family members and friends there. It was fun though. We spent the rest of the trip going from one person's house to another visiting. It was great to see all the people we care about, especially since we won't be back to Cali until the Holidays. We had a great time but I am so glad to be home!!! Yeah 77 degree weather...WOO HOO.

The Waiting has ended

First of all thank you to everyone who has been praying with us! I got the "THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTREST....WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU" e-mail this morning from the job that I really wanted. I am super disappointed but I know that it just means that this wasn't the job I was suppose to have. SO, if you can keep praying...pray that I handle the rejection well...and pray that I find that job I am suppose to have, soon!! I will update more as I have information!

Happy Fourth of July

I hope everyone had a great 4th. I know we did. Being a new town for a short period of time and not knowing anyone can be difficult, then add a holiday that is more fun with friends and family and that can be difficult. We were all good though. Here is what we did for the 4th. We relaxed and took it easy during the day...then we headed up to Sunnyside Park. This is a huge open park that had a little creek, a playarea, frisbee golf course, baseball field, and tennis courts. When we got there we realized that the 10,000 some odd people that live in Pullman year round and didn't go out of town for the 4th had all come to the celebration. Surprisingly though it wasn't cramp my style cramped for as many people as we had there. There was tons of food (hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ chicken, BBQ Beef sandwiches, corn on the cob, backed beans, chips, watermelon, and tons of yummy homemade desserts as well as ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn and sno cones, and of course drinks.), there was a bounce house and one of those giant inflated slides, there was a stage that had Kingspin playing all night, and the weather was perfect for it all. The fireworks were great and completly chorigraphed to music. They used Proud to be an American, Montgomery Gentrys Stars and Stripes, Stars and Stripes Forever, Niel Diamond In America, Salute to the Trrops Medley, and Hooray for the Red, White, and Blue. It was soooo cool. Were we were sitting was right down from where they shoot off the fireworks. Before the fireworks show we got to see a lot of people who live around the park shoot stuff off. The thing about living in WA is there are very few fireworks that are illeagal so some of the personal fireworks are just as big as any major fireworks shows. Faith loved that part she ohhhed and awwed with joy. Then it was time for our fireworks display and they shut all the flood light and stage lights off and she was ok with that and then they set off the first set of fireworks with a loud boom and scared the crap out of my poor daughter, she let out a huge whale and a mommmmma and from then on I held her in my lap and she watched the fireworks a little scared and then towards the end she loosened up and started to ohh and aww again it was really cute. We all had a killer time and having my sister here made it great too.

Job Interview

I had the big interview today for the job that I really wanted. After the interview I felt really good about it. I felt like I really did a great job in the interview and I felt very confident. They are interview all day today and then the rest of the week and they will have a decision made early next week. I am now in limbo again. The part I hate, between feeling really good about it and being unsure of what will happen. I found out that our vacation is not going to affect their decision at all. They said they would have no problem with me starting when I get back. The big problem now is that I found out that my hours are going to be 8:30-5:30 M-TH and 9-6 on Fridays. The problem is that Faith has to be pick up from daycare by 5:30. This means that M-TH Garratt Can't work any earlier than 6:00 and on Fridays he can't work before 6:30. THis could be a problem for him when looking for a job. This means that he again will probably end up working late nights and then having to come home and stay up to do homework, them get a couple of hours of sleep just to turn around and get up to get ready for class and help me get Faith ready and out the door. URGGG! Why does it always seem to be that as soon as a great opportunity comes along so does a giant hurdle? Well, I guess for now I cannot worry about it instead I will just have to wait and see what come of the job first. Thank you for all of you who prayed for me in regards to this job. I really appriciate it. Now we pray about the decision. I really want a job but I want it to be the job that God has picked out for me.

One Down

I had my interview with Express Personnel today. That was loads of fun. I filled out paper work, watched a really pointless video, took a drug test, and got my information so I can take my proficency tests online. Then on Monday they will call my references and I will be contacted sometime next week and informed that I have been put on the availability list or not. I am not super thrilled about the whole process or the odds of me working alot. Apperently there has been a low in the amount of Clerical positions that are available. We will see what happens. On the plus side I have my other job interview on Tuesday morning. That one I am looking forward too, I would really like that job. Again, I can not get my hopes up too high I must stay realistic about this and remember that I might not get the job, and if I don't that means there is something better for me out there and I just have to find it.
