*Your day-in great detail*
This challenge is getting a little stalkerish...first asking general questions about me, now it's asking where I live and my day in detail. But, because I love you guys, I will comply...
7:00- Wake up
7:45- Leave for work
8:00- Arrive at work and start playing with Matt and Tyler (the boys I nanny)
8:30- Matt leaves for school (he walks) and Ty and I (after giving him breakfast) go downstairs to play, destroy and watch 'clus-clus' (Blue's Clues)
11:45- Feed Ty lunch
12:15- NAP TIME (for me too...:) )
3:30- Get Ty up from nap, my lunch time and prepare for Matt coming home
3:50- Matt is home, snack for him and Ty, homework time.
4:30 Entertain Matt and keep Ty happy too!
5:30- The dad gets home, say goodbye for the day and go home to Toby (Ry and I work exact opposite shifts, including weekends!)
6:00- Let Toby out, play with him, get myself dinner and veg out/run errands/do crafts/clean/whatever else
11:00- Ry gets home! Warm up leftovers for him, he eats and then we spend time together!
1:30- Bed Time for me and Toby!
As you can see, I don't really have a 'normal' schedule, and this is fine with me, except not seeing my husband. I can't stand this most days, it makes me so sad. So, I was going to tell you guys on FRIDAY, but, this post needs a happy ending.....
I GOT A NEW JOB!
:) Actually-I got two!
This is bittersweet, but it will be a good thing in the end. I will be working more of Ryan's schedule, and I can go back to school to finish my degree! Friday is my last day, and I start my new one on saturday! I am so excited for this opportunity to grow, and I know good things are going to come.
So, do you guys wanna know where I'm working?
Let me start at the beginning...About a month ago, Ry and I sat down and re-evaluated our 'future' plan. This meant me getting a new job so I could go back to school (as you can see, I really couldn't with the hours I'm working). So, the job search started. I told the people I nanny for and they started looking for a new girl. A week later, I had an interview and they had scheduled a 'working interview' with a girl they liked. On Monday, I come back to work to find out that they had offered the girl a job, and she was starting in two weeks. Which means I don't have a job in two weeks. Shoot. So after calling Ryan (who had been telling me to pray and pray some more about it and give it up to God truly) and talking to him and praying with him, I felt better. That night, I get a call saying that they were going to offer me the job! :) YEA! They were only offering me very, very part time, but something is better than nothing!
So since I got this job, I figured I would settle in and find another very part time job so the two combined would meet our income needs. Well, the next day, I receive another phone call from a place I applied to last year! They offer me an interview that night, and then offer me a job on the spot! I'm so happy as I write this! God knew, and all I had to do was give it up to Him. So, without making you wait any longer I am now....

How much fun is this going to be?!?
I can't wait...
Love

Unless you know me personally, you would have no idea that I lost my job a little more than a month ago. It was just a series of unfortunate events, and I knew it was going to come one of these days. Well, after a huge hassle with everything wedding related and such, I came to the conclusion that I needed to find a job asap. So, this past week, I got not one, but TWO calls on job offers! HORAY!
Also, FH and I do not live together yet. We both still live at the parent's houses, it just saves money and works for us (both of our parent's are awesome and don't treat us like two year olds). Anyways, so on top of wedding and honeymoon planning (did any of you girls get lucky enough to have FH plan the honeymoon?) we had to figure out where we wanted to live. After looking at all the options, we decided to go with some apartments that we both liked. It was about 600 a month after all utility bills (which isn't bad...). Well, this last week, we were blessed once again with this very unique option. Ry's parent's own and run several mobile home parks around our area. When we were weighing our options, they advised us not to buy a mobile home because it would be difficult to sell it in this economy. But, it just so happens that in the park Ry's mom runs, the 'on-call' night manager could not do the job anymore, so they needed someone to step in. The perk about being an on-call night manager is free lot rent. And, it just so happens that one of Ry's dad's friends has a home that he bought super cheap (he just paid off what the people owned on it from the bank) and put a little bit of money into it to make it more sellable in the same park that needs an on call manager. Do you see where I'm going with this? Ry's dad's friend is selling us the home for what he bought it for and what he put into it, which is 50% off. And we're going to be getting free lot rent, since Ry would have no problem doing the on call position (it's more for just a show anyways, and if something does happen, he would have to call his dad to fix it since his dad owns the park). If we take the price of the home plus utilities plus insurance for the first year, it's going to cost us a grand total of 400 a month! After that first year, all we'll have to pay is the utilities and the insurance, less than 1,000 a year! And, we should be able to sell it again for whatever we put into it (it could just a fresh coat of paint and new carpet) when we are finished with it. So, it has the potential to have free rent (except utilities and insurance) our first few years of marriage. Are we BLESSED or what? :)

This situation just fits us so much better than an apartment. I'll be able to paint the walls and make it look so cute and new. It doesn't look that great now, but you just wait until I get a paint brush and a garden shovel in my hands! I'm so excited for this opportunity with Ryan. So look out for photos, I will be posting many before and afters coming soon (since we're allowed to start the process as soon as we would like to!)!!
