The End of 2007
Time has gone so fast since Thanksgiving. Don and I got to go to Indiana for Stephen and Jennifer's wedding...which was amazing! Not only was the ceremony beautiful, and lots of family got to be there, but the snow was amazing too. Although if it would have waited to snow until the middle of the ceremony more of the family could have been together. A week is never long enough to see everyone (we missed seeing Marcus, Jackie, and Zach, and Kris and Christina). I didn't take pictures when we were in Indiana which makes me made...but I do have some pictures to share on how Don got ready for the wedding. (I'll try to post those tonight!)
After we got back from "the wedding"...I called CosmoProf (a retail store that sales to salons and licensed people) about my job. I started working on December 10th and let's just say I totally love being an at home wife (just wish I had kids to be with)...so getting back into the swing of things sucked! Don and I have one car...and Evie has a car so we are always trying to figure out who drops who off and picks up. Right now I'm hourly so it's okay...but once my store opens and I move to Management I'm not sure what is going to happen. But we shall see...but for the most part I like my job. I love working with the products and selling them...which isn't that hard for some of it...since I have used many of the product lines we sell.
Christmas came and went so fast...I wasn't ready to celebrate Christmas until the Wednesday before...so lots of last minute shopping was happening for me this year. I hate being unprepared...so my goal this next year is to be done Christmas shopping by Dec. 15th. So I am hoping to meet that goal with pride!
Things are stressful...we are going to try again to get pregnant. So hopefully for Christmas we will have a little one to make Christmas special for! If we have to we will go see another specialist in March, but we are hoping that the meds that take me on a roll coaster ride won't be necessary!
Don is still loving his job. He did interview in Indiana while we were there, but he hasn't heard anything back. I know he loves his job but I would love to be closer to my family and friends. I'm not much of a social butterfly it would be nice to be able to see my closest and dearest people. But I know that I can't always have what I want...so I'll just keep my chin up and make him keep applying until I do! (HA HA)
Anyways...I have to go get ready for work...I"ll try to post more later...because we had lots happen in our small community lately!
As I was blogging earlier...I totally forgot about the excitement in our little apartment community. We have posted earlier we have a lake/pond behind our apartment building...well beyond that there are more apartments. On Dec. 14th in the building just across the lake was a double murder. A man went nuts and broke into the apartment of his almost ex-wife and her "partner"...shooting both women, but not hurting the 4 year old in that apartment. Then he shot and killed his 2 kids at his house that he had with the ex, and then went to the tallest bridge and shot himself. So--you never know that you are in a safe place!
Well there isn't more in my life right now. We had a good Christmas...it wasn't being "home" with family but it was still okay. The 4 missionaries came over so we had a good dinner. I am glad for a good husband that lets me do the traditions I want. Which makes it fun for me...he isn't much of a Holiday person (as long as he gets gifts he's okay)...but decorating and all that is me.
Tonight we are staying in and having a small little party...with the 3 of us and the sisters (until 10pm...they have to be home by 10pm) ... so we aren't doing much...just lots of food!
Have a great New Years...may it be fun and safe!
