Quarter of a Century

Jake's birthday was on Friday. He's now 25 years old. We were able to have a nice relaxing day. Jarren and I went shopping that day, since I have been really sick up until this week I wasn't able to get out. Let me tell you how grateful we are for gift cards! I was able to get him 3 shirts and 2 CD's as well as take him to dinner at the Olive Garden for a total of $13. Whoo! Money has been tight since I was laid off, so I was really happy to have those and be able to give him a good birthday.

The next day we went to the BYU/UTAH game. Jake bought the tickets back at the beginning of the month as a birthday present to himself. That was a fun game besides my constantly running nose and headache. But Jake loved it and we were able to go with some of our good friends so it was a good night.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Jake! We love you!!

Holidays 2009

I know I'm a slacker, but I figured I might as well put all the holiday pictures together in one post. Halloween starting at the bottom and Christmas at the top. I already had a post with Halloween day, this is just carving the pumpkins. Jarren didn't really enjoy the slime. We had Birthdays and Holiday parties in the mix so here are some pics to look at.

Kiddie Kandids is closed!!!

I'm so upset I can't sleep right now, I just found out at 11:30pm that I no longer have a job. Kiddie Kandids has closed it's doors forever. On top of that, I've been told, they aren't paying us for the last two weeks that we have worked. And if they are paying us, they don't have to pay us immediately. They can get away with this because they claimed bankruptcy.

I think this is the most classless thing I've ever heard off. Thousands of employees are getting laid off tonight across the US and the way we found out was through the grape vine and facebook.

If anyone knows of any place hiring, that will hire a pregnant woman with 3 months left to go, please let me know.

In the mean time, if you know anyone who needs pictures taken, please send them my way.
