The Community Canvas

is Oxford's version of Sips 'n' Strokes, except it is only $25. My MIL has been wanting do to this for her birthday for forever. Well, her b-d was back in Jan. Well, we finally were able to get together and go this past Sat. night. We had so much fun!
Top l-r Kaci (Eric's sister, 11wks preggo), Amanda (Eric's brother's, Michael, wife she is Lily Beth and Will's mom) and Gail (Eric's mom) Botom l-r Sarah (Amanda's cousin), Elisabeth (Amanda's sister) and me. The "original" painting was the black and white one behind my head.

My painting, the background is chocolate brown, the flowers are white with accents of orange and a gold color. While doing this I made a really big booboo. Can you find it?

On another note, I am being sent to do a drug test this afternoon. I don't think I have ever been this excited to tinkle in a cup. After that I will know for sure if I got the job by the end of the week. Next week we are headed back to Fl. We are going to spend some time in Perry with granny, Eric's father's mom. Then on Wed. we will head to Gainesville again because Mema, Eric's mom's mom is having open heart surgery to fix the problem she was having that sent her to the hospital when Corban was 5 weeks old. So, please keep everyone in your prayers!

Another Interview!!!

So yesterday I had an assessment and since I passed I went right into an interview. YAY! I am scheduled for my second interview with this company on Friday at 1:30. I am excited because I would work one Sat. a month of overtime and they have vision insurance, which I have not had since I lived came off of my parnet's policy when I was 19. So, I could actually afford to go to the eye doc and get glasses!!!!! I need some new ones! I really like what this job entails and there is an opportunity to move up in the company. I really don't want to be stuck in this situation again!!!!!!! We are praying for God's best!

Corban is talking up a storm, these are the sounds he makes; aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh, oooooooooooooooooooo, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and a very high pitched squeeky eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. He can also make the long u sound. All vowels except the mmmmmmm.

Interview

So, it did go well yesterday. It lasted an hour and a half!!!!! My jaws hurt from talking!!! She had 2 people she knows call her and speek highly of me before my interview. She told me towards the end of the interview that it was between me and one other person. After my interview Eric was talking to our insurance agent about my interview and asked who it was with again. Eric told her and she was suprised, because that was her friend!!! So she looked her cell number up and called her to tell her I was a good person for the job! Tomorrow I have an assessment at Region's for their call center in Riverchase. I know God has a plan for me so I am just praying for His best.

On another note Corban's boil is back. It never really went away. There was not a bump anymore but the skin was still tender and a purplish blue. Well Sunday we noticed it had started to come back out again... so we are now on his 3rd round of meds except this time they have increased the dose.

Job update!

Well I had a phone interview last night and I thought it went well. I was going to email the lady ( she is not the head lady she was doing the preinterview interview) a thank you note but I couldn't remember her name and I didn't have her email address, so I called the agency to get it. Well, the lady who answered the phone didn't know who I was talking about and told me to hold on that she would get the owner of the agency for me so I could ask her. All I could think was awe man now I am going to look stupid. So the owner picks up the phone and is polite and asks how I am doing. I return the question and tell her why I am calling and before she gets the info for me she says she is glad I called. She had planned on calling me later this afternoon anyway to set up a second interview with her on Monday!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!! So I go Mon at 1:30. I also got another call back on my resume and I go to take an assessment test on Wed. at 1:30 with that company!!!!! Being if I don't get the other job. Any way, God is good and I know he will provide! Keep praying. Also keep Eric's dad in your prayers, he lost his job on Friday.

Jobs and Corban

His heisman pose.

Anyone watch friends "How you doin?"

Have been the 2 things in my life lately. Just this evening I received a call back on a resume I submitted. I have a phone interview tomorrow at 5pm and if I make the cut into the top 3 I will interview in person with the owner. It is for the same position I interviewed for a couple of weeks ago, just a different location. I made it into the top 2 of that interview but was beat out by someone with more experience. The people I interviewed with like me so much they gave me the lead for the other location that is hiring. It would be a further drive but God knows what he is doing. So keep us in your prayers. Eric and I are also being faced with some big decisions but everything has kinda been put on hold due to the job thing.

Corban update 4 months

Stats 14lbs 14oz - still will not sleep through the night!!!!!!

25 1/2in - looks like he is getting mommy's height....

He can roll from his tummy to his back and only once has he rolled from his back to his tummy

EVERYTHING and I do mean everything goes in his mouth

When Zoe licks his feet he streches his legs out and spreads his toes as if to say "get all of it"

Is still not a big fan of tummy time

So far he likes cereal, mixed with baby apple juice, sweet potatoes and squash

Wow how time flies by

I can't believe Corban will be 4 months old on Sat. He is growing so big so fast. My only complaint is he will NOT sleep through the night. He still wakes up at least twice to nurse, not that he is hurting for food. More to post about him later. I went for an interview on Monday, I think it went well. I should know someting by the end of this week so keep us in your prayers. I am qualified for the position with my sales background but I do not have a license, which I can get easily... or so I am told. It is something I think I will enjoy, I will post more later when Corban isn't fussy!!!!!

The return

Well, we are back. I wouldn't call it rested, but we had fun. My niece and nephew went on their fist go-cart ride, neither one of them liked it they were both terrified, but were determined to do it. We suprided Eric's step-dad's dad with a suprise 74th birthday party at the park close to his house. It was the 1st time, I am pretty sure, he has gotten to see any of his grandkids. We managed to find the Children's place outlet and found some great deals. Since Corban and will are so close in age they will be matching, but hey they will look so darn cute! Oh well, the job search continues. I will post pics when I get them uploaded....
