Blog Post #158

I know, I've been the crappiest blogger lately. Basically it's because I keep waiting until I can post the latest news about job interviews, rejections, and offers, but my sister has pointed out to me that I shouldn't blog to the world about such things. I can't tell you the names of these places just in case they google me and read about it. I can't mention my personal feelings about these places or people just in case I screw myself over in the process.

But let it be known: There have been interviews, rejections, and offers. I have been excited about things, upset about things, and still don't know some details about some other things. BUT the bottom line is, I'm still doing freelance from home and have gotten some new work. So that's pretty cool. Nothing yet that will look good on a home loan application, but whatever. We're doing well.

A.J. is amazing...he just works his little buns off. He turned *gasp!* 25 last week! We got a Playstation 3 and up until a couple days ago have been playing our games. Why have we stopped? Because we BEAT them! Booyah! AJ got Birds of Prey (WWII airplane dogfighting game) and I got Harry Potter–The Half-Blood Prince. I decided I love kid games. And I haven't seen a Harry Potter movie since the 3rd one, so now I totally know what The Half Blood Prince was about. Haha! I did the same thing with Kung Fu Panda (during the week we had an xBox 360). So anyway, does anyone have PS3 games they want to share with us? We don't have cable...

Grizzly is almost 1 year old! He's about 75 lbs and finally starting to slow down (growth-wise) but he'll probably fill out just a little more. Just had to answer the question that EVERYONE asks me ("so how big will he get?"). I'm sure I'll post pictures of whatever ridiculous thing I decide to do for his first birthday. Cute lil' guy!



In other news, I'm super excited for October, Halloween costumes and decorating. But it snowed yesterday and that's despicable.

I'd also like to randomly announce (may be old news) that Simply (juice) now has raspberry lemonade, and you all need to go out and buy 2 bottles, because 1 won't be enough. It's incredible.

AND Happy Birthday Ashlee! Haha.

hang in there. Job hunting is never fun.. but i know things will work out for you guys! you are too talented to not hire! : )

Also i love your little dog.. I think he may even be taller than our dog. Brom turned one in July and i believe last time we weighed him at the vet he weighed just over 60 pounds. So basically your dog could beat up my dog! hahaha.

Your dog is getting so big! He is seriously adorable. I can't believe you married such an old man! Do you know how old Peter is going to be this year...29! My husband is going to be 30 next year! AHHHH, isn't that just crazy. Good thing he looks young or else I would have to trade him in. Good luck with the job hunting!

What are you going to do this weekend while your hubby is with my hubby? We're heading to Midway. I'm strongly considering some Saturday Park City outlet shopping between sessions. Wanna meet us there?

I keep praying for you, I hope you get the job of your dreams...Andrea once told me that I was the problem & to stop praying for them...(don't tell her but I still do)...so if you think I am the problem call me & I'll lie to you too, & tell you I'll stop the prayers, & leave that to the good people

Hey, am I being ragged on behind my back?

Andrea, yes. haha. We can't get enough prayers over here I'm sure :)

Sorry I forgot to reply to your comment to come shopping with you. I would have loved Banana Republic's outlet! Hope you had fun. I was just staying busy doing stuff here this weekend.

I as well can't get enough of the Simply Raspberry Lemonade. I love the way it makes my taste buds tingle!

Hang in there on the job search!
