Because she got to it first....

A couple of my peeps :oP asked to hear the song Kali, Chris and I sang on Sunday. Kali posted it first, so I will just put a link to her post :o) Enjoy!

God wants to hear you sing

Hide and Seek

Kali and I watched the girls while the men were hunting and the moms were visiting people. We had a great time hiding in all sorts of weird spots!! We were on teams, Kali and 'Livia, then Lilly and I. We enjoyed being able to stuff the girls into little spots seeing how little they are! I actually found some really good spots to hide and they couldn't find me for quite a while, it was great!!

Counting and waiting to go look for the hiders....oh, the majors got a new dog (lilly is holding him)! He is so cute, only 3 months old!

They are in a larger cupboard in our laundry room. Lilly was hiding in there, but once they found her olivia wanted to go in as well!

All twisted up

Just because I love 'Livia's face in this one.....lol

Inside of our coffee table...yup...we got pretty tricky!! hehe

Monday

I got a call this morning and my background check came through! So, my first day is Monday and I start at 10 am.! Yay! Its exciting but also kinda nerve racking starting a new job, at this point I'm more excited than nervous though. Actually, on Monday it will be exactly 4 months of not having a job, Wow! Praise the Lord on the other hand that He has now provided one for me!!

Job Update

I GOT A JOB!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!! Hehe...is that enough of an update?! For those of you who may have not heard the story concerning this job, here goes:

Several weeks ago, I noticed a job pop up on Worksource for a Customer Service Representative at Payday Loans. After talking with my parents and Bro. Majors about it, also praying about it. They all told me they thought that it was no different from giving loans at a bank, people know exactly what they are getting into and its their choice. I picked up an application and filled it out, waiting to see if I would get an interview. I got a call that day asking for an interview on Friday, the next day! The interview came and went and now I was just praying that if it was God's will for me to have the job, He would work everything out. Today, I got a call from the manager asking me some more questions and said that it was between me and two other girls! YAY! I was encouraged just to hear I was one of the top candidates, but trying not to get my hopes up, just in case. He told me he was going to have an answer tomorrow and call me then. Well, not even an hour later he called me and offered me the job!!! Its full-time WITH benefits (after the trial period), and it pays well too! I am SOO thankful to everyone for praying for me concerning a job! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Do I see smoke?!

Sunday evening my dad decided to get a fire going upstairs, first time in the upstairs fireplace! He got it going and we noticed that all the smoke seemed to be spilling out and going into the house. (I guess the damper wasn't open all the way.) So, since the fire was going already we just had to wait it out and see what we (or should I say, my dad) could do later. Needless to say, the upstairs smelt horribly of smoke all night (even with the windows and doors open for a little while). So, we all ventured downstairs to do our Spanish lesson and the dogs were down here to. (The Majors brought their dog Luke.) Anyways, we really couldn't win because Luke was (hmm....) expelling?! (hehe) and it was AWFUL! We were constantly plugging our nose or covering it with something. Sooo, smoke smell upstairs or stinky stinch downstairs...hmm...tough choice!

You can kinda see the smoke, but believe me, it looked much worse in person....

I guess 'Livia didn't like the sound of the fire alarm going off! Lol Her face is priceless!
