When we moved to Utah, despite all my efforts to obtain a part time bookkeeping job, there was none to be found. It all worked out alright as WalMart did hire me to be a cashier. They didn't make me work Sundays and I could work while the kids were in school. Just about perfect. When we moved down here, I went from working at a Superstore to working in a neighborhood market where things are handled differently. There were/are no 4-5 hour shifts. My part time hours were combined into 3-4 9 hours shifts. UGH. Not only that but they had me working mids usually from 10-7. Not only was I gone alot when the kids were home but every Saturday too. As many of you know, James and Lauren could not find a job around here. Jobs are slim pickins. I have remarked that the only people who gets jobs around here are those who know someone. In fact Daniel got his job due to us knowing the general manager of Applebee's.
Our home teacher co-owns a Service Master. This is a business that steps in after a commercial or domestic fire or flood and cleans up your house/business. They also have a web retail store. Anyway, he approached Lewis and I about possibly hiring me or at least requesting I submit my resume to them. He thought the position would be open in about 3 weeks. Four days after he told us this, he called to say they had let go their bookkeeper, could I come fill out an application. We were in Utah so I promised I would do so on Monday. I did and they offered me a full time position last week. I turned them down. Lewis is going to be traveling alot to Tennessee. We decided we didn't want me gone any more than I presently am.
WalMart has cut my hours back from 32 to 28. Service Master called yesterday to ask if I would work for them Part time, from 8-2. I said YES!! That puts me home when the kids are home (actually before they get home) and I get my weekends back. Hurray! This was a real test of faith but it sure has turned out to be a HUGE blessing. I start on Monday.

Paisley was much more happy to go to primary this week! She had fun singing the songs and had a blast in class. She is our cute sunbeam!
As Paisley is now in her 4th of life we are excited for her new step into Primary. She is the youngest and newest member of primary in our ward. Today she had a lot of fun as you can tell with her great accessories from primary. Sharing time was a fun treasure hunt which captivated her attention. During singing time her and her cute sunbeam friends were being ballerinas and twirling all around. This morning on the way to church as we talked once again of her joining primary she said "I won't go, I hate it!" very forcefully. After such a fun day I think she will be really excited to return to primary each week.
We are all sad that the spencers had to leave, so Vallen and I took some pictures of our selves the night before they had to leave..................... (just to say, I had NOT lost a tooth)
This is Vallen under the water.
This is brave little Grace.
Here is Taryn jumping in and running out.
