Great Book
I just finished reading an awesome book. Don't you love it when your unsure about the book, but as you start to read it captures you after the first couple of pages. Well that was how the book P.S. I Love You was. It is a bout a 30 year old woman from Dublin and how she weaves her way through the grief process after the death of her husband. I cried and laughed a couple of times through out the book. I normally don't recommend books but this book had a nice flow and only a hand flow of swearing. So if you see it at the library get it, sorry I don't remember the authors name. Also, they reasently made the book into a movie. Hopefully Shaun and I can have a date night so we can see it.

Job Again............
Well, here it is again about me blogging that I need a job. It seems that every time I blog about it I usually see God work. That he has it all planned and he is teaching me to let go and be patient. So, again I am letting go and giving it to God. I just have a couple of request.
1)An awesome evening job that pays well, more hours and is not graveyard also, preferably not cleaning.
2)A day time job that pays well so that I can afford childcare and pay bills.
3)work that I can do from home during the day and then go to evening job.
If none of that happens then I will just be patient and wait it out.
My hearts desire is number 2. I am ready to have my family back again at night. I miss Shaun and would love to put the kids to bed at night. I feel that I am ready to be away from the kids. Hannah is ready for preschool. She is always talking about going to school. Ethan needs sometime away from mommy. He is almost one and very active. Ethan is ready to be around other little kids then his sister. I would have Ethan go to an in home daycare because I do not like the big day cares for infants.
I will let blog again later to let you know what God does.

Every Day Life
I have a wrong title for my blog it should not say daily maybe weekly or monthly!
The new year has begun and I am doing the same thing I normally do. Take care of the kids, work, and go to my mommy groups. It keeps us busy and before I know it another week has gone by.
I am still looking to do some extra work but Shaun and I have decided to see if I really need to get a part-time job on the weekend. The job for Nevada Power was great but it was really hard not having anytime, ex specially for Shaun and I. I am looking to do some partime babysitting just to make some extra money. I am also praying that opportunity opens up so that I can still be home with the kids and maybe not have to work at night. I don't know if that can even be a possibly but I can pray.
Ethan is getting big. He is now a pro at crawling and has learned how to pull up and is doing a little cruising. He is starting to get a personality. He's happy go lucky and goes with the flow, but he does like to mess with Hannah (may be the other way around). Hannah is starting to understand what it is like to have a little brother. He loves to go in her room and play with her toys, she can not handle it and they end up screaming and yelling at each other, besides the actional fighting Ethan and Hannah get along well.

A New Year Is About To Begin
I can not believe another year has gone by. So much has happen in the year 2007.
Planted a Church
Bought a new house
Had a new baby!
Shaun said good bye to subbing and hello to an office job.
Shaun started school to become a teacher (watch out kids!)
I know that there is so much more but my memory is not as good a it use to be now that I am 30!
What I would like to happen in the year 2008?
I would like our life to slow down abit. Hopefully no milestones this year.
Autumn- continue to work and stay home with kids during the day. Find a partime job that doesn't interfere with our home life to much. Take my health very seriously and lose some weight. Continue going to the Mom to Mom class and play date on Thursday.
Shaun- Have sometime to rest. He is going to have a busy year with school, work, church and family. I know he can do it.
Hannah- Learning...... I think this will be the year that she will learn even more then she has learned so far. She is a sponge. Wants an answer to everything, asks tons of questions and has a very active imagination.
Ethan - milestones..... crawling, walking and talking. My baby will start to grow up :(
This it what I think will happen, but having God in our lives can change things because he has a plan and what ever is thrown our way we can handle it.

Long Two Weeks
It has been a long two weeks. I have been dealing with some health issues on my end and I have had to have some tests done. I talked to the doctor today and everything seems to be okay I just have to be checked out again in the next three months. Wondering what I am talking about? I will try to explain.
If you know me you know that the women in my family deal with cancer. My aunt has had breast cancer two times, the first time at 29 years old and again at 41. right now she is in remission. My grandmother had breast cancer at 39 and then in her fifty's she got ovarian and died soon after the diagnose. My mother died of ovarian cancer at 45. She fought it for 4 years but the cancer won. With this information I am seeing a oncologist to do preventive. My self and the doctor defiantly think it is genetic, but I am unable to be tested because my insurance will not pay and I cannot afford the test, it is three thousand dollars for the blood test.
The doctor I found is an awesome doctor he is very thorough. He scheduled me to have a mammogram and a breast MRI done. The mammogram was clear but the MRI showed a nodule in my chest. I had to go for a CT scan to have a better look. There was so much going through my head when I heard that they found something. I have been trying to prepare myself for this because there is a high chance I may get cancer someday, but after hearing the news I knew that I will never be prepared and that I just have to trust in God and also that whatever it may be that it is caught in time. My mother told me that she knew something was wrong but she was afraid and she waited. We don't know if she would have gone in earlier if it would of helped, but she said that she regretted it and for me to not take any chances. If I am unsure to make an appointment just to ease my mind. anyways.. I saw the doctor today and he said that they actually found two nodules. One in my chest and the other by my heart sac. They are very small (4mm) and to small and dangerous to biopsy because of where they are located. My tumor counts are normal so he feels that they are just to be kept an eye on just in case they get bigger then we will go from there. In three months I go back for another CT scan. Its scary but I know that I have done everything in my power to make sure I have taken precautions and will not regret or ever think what if.

Awesome God
Last week when I blogged I was talking about my part-time job ending and needing another one, also that I was not going to worry about it and just see what happens.
Well the next day I was at work and the office manager approached me and asked who the custodian is on Sundays when we have church at the school. I said I guess it would be me. She told me that by law a custodian needs to be at the school when a church meets and they are also paid time and a half. So I am now being paid for being there on Sundays, also I was told that I will be back paid for the 39 weeks that we have been using the school. Shaun and I were thrilled.
It is an awesome feeling to know that if you give it to God he will provide. I wish I would have done that with so many other things in my life it would have caused much less heartache. Guess that's why they call it growing and learning from you mistakes.
I still need to make up a little bit more money, but I know it will come from somewhere.

It's Been a While
I don't even know where to begin. It seems like ages since the last time I have blogged. I have been very busy. I am working two jobs plus taking care of the kids. I hope soon it will slow down.
I have been working for Nevada Power the last couple of months doing mini events at Costco on the weekend. It has been going really well. The job ends at the end of the month, so I am again having to look for another job. I was blessed with the NP job, it feel right in to my lap. I have been praying that it will happen again once this ends. I have given it to God. I know that it is something I have to let go of because if I don't I will worry and scramble and will end up being disappointed and frustrated. Its all his!!!!! (I repeat it to my self all day long)
I am enjoying being home with the kids everyday. They are such a blessing and I feel so honored to watch them grow everyday. Our days are uneventful for the most part. I have been going to a MOM TO MOM study at The Crossing on Tuesdays and I love it. I drop the kids off at their classes and go to mine. It is two wonderful uninterrupted hours of being with other Mothers and learning about God. We learn the tools on how to be a better Godly mother and wife. It is a great time for encouragement. I have learned alot on how to strengthen my marriage. My favorite study was Our Fathers Eyes: Seeing Our Children as He Sees Us. Its about knowing who our children are is the key to loving them as they are. It was awesome. I am so glad a friend told me about this study, it has been a blessing I was feeling so unconnected and dormant. I am back in the word and fellowship again. It's nice to look forward to something every week.

New Niece
My stepsister Leah had a healthy 8 pounds 12 ounce baby girl on November 11th. They named her Savana Rain and she is beautiful, unfortunately they live in Michgan so I only get to see pictures. Leah did great and my brother in law Nic is so happy. This is his first. Leah has a 14 year old daughter Sierra. I am so happy for them.
When I was looking at the pictures of Nic holding Savana for the first time it reminded me of when Shaun held both of our kids for the first time. They both have the same look on their faces. I don't know what they are thinking but to me it looks like they are completely amazed and feel so much love for that tiny little person.
It makes me want to have another one (just kidding Shaun!)

Not The Office!!!!!
Oh! it is a sad day. I just found out that there is only one new episode of The office left. The strike has halted production. I was hoping it would not come to this. I love the show and it is the only one that I think is the best on TV. If you have never watched it, Google the office and watch an episode. I hope the strike ends soon because I need the Office!!!!!
Here are some reason why I love the show.
1. Jim is cute!
2. PB and J have to keep working on their relationship.
3. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactic!
4. Dwight killed Sprinkles!
5. OH D!!!!
6. That's what she said!
Watch the show and you will understand my reasons!!!!

Halloween
Yesterday was Halloween. Hannah loved wearing her costume. She was Tinker Bell. She was pretending to fly that whole day, it was really cute. That night we took her out trick or treating around the neighborhood. Hannah lucked out in our neighborhood because alot of the neighbors were giving out candy, really good candy. After the first couple of houses she got the hang of it and there was no stopping her. She would knock on the door and they would hand her candy or she would grab a handful from the bowl. She love it and would comment after every house about what type of candy she got.
Shaun and Tyson could not stop reminiscing about then they were little and how much they enjoyed Halloween. It was actually really cute to hear them talk about it. Once we got home Shaun empty the bag on the table. Shaun and Hannah were looking through it oohing and owing. I can't speak for Shaun but it was so much fun watching Hannah have a good time and being excited.
Ethan was Tigger. He didn't make a peep the whole time we walked around the neighborhood. He loved being outside and looking around. Ethan passed out on the way back. Next year he will be able to enjoy it.
I can't believe how fast time goes by. When I was younger it seemed like forever, but now that I have kids it is going to fast. Hannah is a little girl now no longer the little baby that would constantly kick her feet inside me or scream when I left her sight. Ethan also is growing quick. He wants to be mobile and eat food. I know that they have to grow up but it sad to see them leave the baby stage.

In my last couple of blogs and I was seeking a new part time job and now I have one. I am going to do mini events at costco on the weekends for Nevada Powers Energy Star. I had my training on Tuesday and lets just say that I think that this is going to be a great job. It is only temp but it pays good and I get my foot in the door. Who knows that could happen.

My Kids
I was looking at pictures of my kids and I can not believe how big they are, exspecially Ethan. Ethan is six months old and weights 19-1/2 pounds. He is growing so much. everyday he changes. I am so happy that I am able to stay home with him. He is such a happy baby. He is always smiling and wants so much to be mobile. they say that the second one grows up much faster and it is so true. Ethan also adores Hannah. If Ethan is upset Hannah just has to go over and talk to him and he immediately stops. It is amazing how much they love each other. When I was pregnant with Ethan I was trying to prepare Hannah for his coming and at her age I was unsure how she would be but I am blessed to say that Shaun and I are raising a very lovable, kind little girl. Not once has she ever been mean to him. She loves him and says it to me and to Ethan all the time. Here is a list of some of the things that Hannah has said about her brother.
1) This is Ethan (seeing him in the hospital the first time)
2) Ethan is going bye bye with us too? (couple of days after he was home we were leaving the house and she realized that he was going with us.)
3) He has in your tummy?
4) Ethan is so cute!
5) Ethan stinks!
6) Stop it! your going to pop him! (a friends kid was playing with Ethan and said that he was going to eat him. Hannah got so upset and told the kid to stop that he was going to pop her baby brother.)
7) Are those his meatballs? ( I was changing Ethan's diaper. I think that explains meatballs.)
I know she has said many more but unfortunately I didn't write them all down.

I Need A Job
It is 3 on Saturday and the house is nice and quiet. The kids are both sleeping and Shaun is doing church stuff. The last couple of days have been rough. I ended up not taking the 8 hour position. It just would not work out with having to pay a babysitter. So now I have to find something to make up that money now that I am no longer babysitting. I really do not want to watch others kids but I only have a week to find something. I have given this to God. I am telling myself that there was a reason and that I need to just be patient. I am currently looking, made some calls so hopefully something will come up. It's funny how something can turn your life upside down and causes worry. I am praying that it will be taken care of this week.
