Today I start my new job at Young Living Essential Oils. I am excited to start working again, but also a little nervous about my first job in over a year and a half. I only hope my back is up for it. I am sure the training week will be the hardest because of the limited amount of freedom (fewer breaks) you get while learning the inner workings of a new company. So everyone wish me luck. :)

We have a new addition to our family. We have named her "Shasta", She has been with us for a week now and has already grown dear to us. We are working on teaching her basic commands as well as housebreaking her. Luckily she has been very responsive to the training.

She loves her stuffed duck (seen here in her bed) and her toy puppy. She has the cutest personality and is at this moment playing tug of war with Tanner. We look forward to many years to come with this new member of our family.

Goofy People

The kids and I discovered a new feature on my webcam and decided to have some fun. What a bunch of goofy people we are...

same old, same old

Not much has changed lately for us as a family. We are still doing the same old routine. I am currently still not working, but have been looking casually. Lindsay is also looking to change jobs away from Wal-Mart. Not to go to far off topic here but I can't stand Wal-mart yet I am too poor to shop else where, is that irony? Anyway, the only major event that happened recently was that Aeddon was recently Baptized a member of the church and I was able to perform the baptism and the confirmation. I'll have to post some pictures at a later date. For me, I am still trudging along in school. I am currently taking Finite Mathmatics and yes its as bad as it sounds :P Luckily my sister, Heidi, has been tutoring me and has been a HUGE help. After this class I get to start in the fun stuff like web programming and Java...

Long time, no post

Well, its been awhile since I have posted anything. The holidays went well, especially Christmas. Our family was blessed and we received a secret santa for the boys and they were also selected to participate in a fund raiser that allowed them to go shopping with the local high school kids and firefighters. So the kids got plenty of gifts and were very happy.

The new year has brought high hopes. I am functional enough to do light work and will be starting a "work at home" job that my sister, Heidi, helped me to obtain. This should be a very good opportunity for me because I am not completely healed and the majority of my day is still spent in the reclined position.

I am also still attending the University of Phoenix Online working toward my BSIT degree. Its difficult to stay motivated but I am still hanging in there and doing fairly well.

I'll try to keep up to date here, but no promises :)
