Moving

So sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I am still job hunting and it's a slow process, out of 50 jobs applied to I have had one interview. Things in Pocatello's job market are not good, so after a lot of prayer and fasting I am moving to Utah. I am waiting to hear from the one interview on the job and if I get it I will move to Moab, Utah which is desert land in southern Utah. If I don't get that job ( as a school secretary) then I will be moving to Bountiful, Utah. Some good friends have offered Chloe and I houseroom while I job hunt. This is a good blessing as I will have little to no living expenses staying with them.

Not much else to say but I will post again when I know where I am going.

Still Hunting

As most of my readers know I am out of a job. I lost my job very unexpectedly last Friday. I was shocked and confused. But I refused to let it get to me ( too much) and headed straight for Utah to find a job. I have so far applied to 20 different positions. I heard back from one today that it was filled. As for the rest I am still hopeful that I will get some interviews. Please continue to pray for me. I am very grateful to my brother Brendan and his sweet wife Trina (www.trinasdoings.blogspot.com) for allowing Chloe and I to sleep in their living room this week. Chloe is now with her dad for some time and I have temporarily returned to Pocatello to finish up some business here. I will look for jobs here, but feel I should be in Utah. Hopefully that is a feeling prompted by the Spirit. If not I have no clue what I am doing! lol

I am going to go crazy not having a routine, but I realized that even if it takes some time that right job will come along and for now I need to find some activities in addition to job hunting that keep me busy.

Love to all!

The world mocks me..

Today the world mocked me with an all too true cartoon representation of my life.

Christmas!

Can't believe Christmas has come and gone! Chloe was spoiled by everyone, and she spoiled me. Here are some pictures.


We had a Sleepover the weekend before Christmas

The girls are just too cute!

Making Cookies

Making chocolate dipped pretzels and candies

Christmas Eve, opening a present from her Grandma Anne

Being cute Jammies from Grandpa

After Santa stopped by

Chloe's first look at the loot! She is in the shadows in the left, which is good because she had an accident in the night and was in her birthday suit.

Opening the Giant Present! (She came in at 6:30 am and said "Mom Santa was here and he left a Giant Present!")

"My house, My house, it was just the one I wanted!"

Almost open....

It's taller than she is but she loves it!

Hugging a little doll from Grandpa that was actually names "Little Chloe"

"A daddy Barbie!"

"Dress up!, how did Grandpa know this was the one I wanted?!"

The loot after all the unwrapping. Thank you to my Branch for the beautiful dresses for me and Chloe.

Using her new paint pens on her new pad of paper.

Bed Tent

Chloe got a bed tent for her birthday. Here she is inside hugging the cute Pucci Pup she got from Grandma Sherri.

4th Birthday Party

Here are some pics from Chloe's party. After being stressed all day and only a couple friends showing up, Chloe still had a good time. Her real birthday is the 9th, so she and I are going to dinner that day. Can't believe how fast she is growing!

Birthday/Christmas Wish List

Okay so here are a few ideas for Chloe's birthday and/or Christmas which are rapidly coming up.

For her birthday I have decided to get her a Leapfrog hand held gaming system. This my compromise to the Nintendo DS that she really wants. That is her big birthday present from me.

So:
Leapfrog Games (age appropriate) PreK-K
Books
Dress up

For Christmas she is getting a dollhouse for her Barbies. This is a joint gift from her Grandma Ann and myself.

So:
Dollhouse accessories. She is getting the Imaginarium Cozy Cottage Dollhouse from Toys R Us
Barbies (she really likes the dolls that come with babies or little kids)
Books
Movies
Leapfrog Games.
Lite Brite

For myself for Christmas for those interested.
Giftcards are great.
Bookstores
Kohls
JC Penny
Target


Can't believe it's upon us! Hope all is well with everyone.

Here is a cute picture of Chloe dancing in the mirror in her new PJs (Thanks Dad!)
