Update!

YAY!!!! Let's all say a big "THANK YOU JESUS!!" for me getting a job!!! I am so lucky to be back at ING on an IT contract till the end of the year. This will be a time of paying bills, catching up and SAVING!!!! Oh, and praying hard that it gets extended! I am so happy to finally be working...and even happier about the first paycheck I got yesterday!!!! xoxo

**Sigh**

So, it has now been 8 months in the hunt for a job (technically we are in month 9) and it is still as bleak as ever. Sigh...it is so frustrating to be in this situation, but I am so thankful for my family, friends and support network. I could not imagine doing this without them! But enough of that...

We had a great summer with lots of fun, friends, family, mini-trips, a big 12th birthday! And now, sadly for Gabby school is back in! We actually started 3 weeks ago on Aug. 13th, so we have a huge head start on everyone else! Gab was VERY upset to learn that Christian (cousin, bff, partner in crime) did not start until 11 days LATER.

Oh, and Gabby tried out for, and made, the Select (or Premier) soccer team at Westside this year...we are so proud of her! She is so excited to be a Lady Eagle...although it is a LOT more strenuous than anything before...even though it is summer we have been practicing since June...no time to waste! They will be competing in their first tournament over Labor Day Weekend (not how I envisioned spending my bday, but oh well!) and regular games start the following weekend!

So...back in school and soccer season started...WOO HOO! lol...I am so excited to be back to a semblance of a normal schedule!

Job

I have been job hunting for 3 months now...and I am totally discouraged. *sigh*...it just seems like there is nothing out there for me. I have enjoyed being able to spend more time with Gabby, but being completely broke all the time is extremely frustrating. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update

So, it has been forever since i have updated this blog...but one of my things that I am working on personally now is to post more often. To "use my words" and get them out of my head! So, hopefully, I will stick to it and it will be some kind of stress relieving therapy! More to follow~

How it works:
1. Post the rules of the game at the beginning.
2. Each player answers questions about themselves
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and post their names, then goes to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read the players blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answers
