Well, it has been quite a while since I've updated this thing! Where to start......
Thanksgiving and Christmas were great, like usual! The girls were really looking forward to Christmas and were totally spoiled, by us and santa, lol. Taylor and Ally both wanted the alive cubs and so they each got one of those; Taylor got a panda that she named Bamboo and Ally got a white tiger that her and daddy named Frank. There were several other gifts that they loved, but those were their favorites. Kendall got a bunch of stuff too, but no big cub. The day started out here, where we woke up and everyone opened their gifts and we ate something; then we went to my mom's where there were more gifts and turkey; we ended the day at Aaron's parent's where there was more gifts and more turkey (or wait, did we have ham?? lol this is why I need to update this thing more often so I don't forget stuff). It was a great day!
Then came new years eve, we had some friends over here, but everyone left relatively early and we put the girls in bed and Aaron and I stayed up to watch the ball drop then went to bed. BORING!! lol
We ended last year and began this year with Aaron being on a temporary layoff from Delphi, then he returned to work at the end of January. I began babysitting for Nicole and Steve Beck right before that around the middle of January; they have 2 kids, Isaiah (4) and Clair (1 1/2). They are both really good kids, and I love having them! Isaiah is in Ally's class, so that's pretty cool, but even with that fact, him and Taylor are closer.. lol That fact is irritating to Ally! Clair and Kendall play together but most of the time they are bugging each other or telling each other no or something, it's funny. Kendall calls her baby and trys to mommy her some.
So anyway, Aaron returned to work and a week or so back, he got a call from Hemlock Semiconductor asking him if he would be interested in coming to work for them because the midland plant (that he was already hired into) wouldn't be bringing him on right away and they had openings; of course he said YES!! They told him they'd call him in a week or so to set up a time for him to come there and interview and tour the plant. So about 2 1/2ish weeks went by and finally they called; he went for the interview and she called him back that day and told him he had the job there if he wanted it. (Of course he did) She gave him a start date of March 23rd, then we found out that Delphi would be offering buy outs; Aaron volunteered and got to get it. He ended his 2 1/2 year career at Delphi on Feb 27th, they will be paying the buy out in 3 equal payments starting in April, we are thirlled! His first day is in 2 1/2 weeks so he is off until then which will be nice because he will be working a ton once he starts HSC. I am trying to get him to finish up a few things around here while he's off, lololololol, he's done a few things and he's only on his 2 work day off, so it's a good thing! I know the girls love it when he's home, but it's hard because he will be home for a long time, all the time, then he will be going to work and working a TON, they will be confused; like all the times he was laid off at Delphi, he was home then all of a sudden he was back working and they wanted to see him. I get asked (or got, rather) "where's daddy" and they don't like to hear that he's at work. Oh well!! lol
We decided that the girls will continue to go to CBA, for school, even after preschool. Taylor's pretty excited about this; when I first asked her about it she didn't want to go to church for school next year but then I figured out why, she said "but I want to go to kindergarten" lolol.. I then explained to her that it would still be kintergarten and she was very excited about it. I intruduced her to her teacher which she enjoyed, so now when we see Marilyn she gets all excited, it's really cute! Aaron is unsure if he wants to send Kendall to K-3 or just K-4, so we will have to decide that soon, because the registration is coming due and it's nonrefundable.
Oh yeah, I finished school!! WOOOOHOOOO!! lol, I am soooooo done! I finished up in December, before Christmas, I am now a certified medical transcriptionist. I totally hate it! lol I have a certificate in a frame in my room, but I don't want to do anything with it other than to look at it and realize what it took to get. I don't want to go back to school and I don't want to do any more medical transcription! lol I'm glad that the babysitting job came along so I didn't have to do it, also because I love the kids and the people I babysit for!
We have been so blessed and it's crazy to me to see all the things that the Lord has done and continues to do in our lives! I really want to stress that all the wonderful things that have been hapening for us have come from the Lord and I want to give Him all the glory!
