New Windows
We will be looking into getting new windows shortly. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies to check out....or....companies to avoid???
Back Yard Invasion
Check this out and let me know what it is. I know I have seen one before I just can't come up with the name right now. It does make me a little nervous to go out and start the spring cleanup back there....especially since Olivia will be with me :( I just don't know if it is mean??
(I apologize for the quality and for the shakiness...I was looking through my bedroom window while holding Olivia!)

Part Time!
Since my last post my bosses have asked me to work 2 days part time. I am pretty excited about this opportunity. When making the decision to work or not to work I knew that part time wasn't an option with the company that I am currently with and so because of this I choose to not work. Money would be tight but there were too many benefits to not working. God always makes sure you are taken care of and this time he did so by allowing a part time position to be made for me at the company. This week was my first part time week. I worked Monday and will work again tomorrow. It is so nice to have this extra time off to be able to spend with Olivia! I am so glad I have this opportunity and precious time with my daughter.

Updates....
So it has been a while since I last blogged. Here is an update to the happenings in my life....
Last week my great grandfather passed away. It is sad to see him go but I am happy for him since we was ready to move on. Greg wrote a great blog about him. Olivia did a wonderful job handling her first visitations/funeral.
We had my sister's bachelorette party last weekend. For the most part it was pretty fun...with lots of fun pictures to use as black mail in the future. However, the second portion of the evening found us at The Melting Pot for desert which turned out to be a pretty lousy experience. I was pretty disappointed with the service and the overall trip but I guess you can't ever predict that kind of stuff.
Today, my good-bye letter went out to all the families and staff at the center. Yes, that's right....I have quit my job. It was a long internal debate for me but ultimately I decided that I would rather be with Olivia during this stage of her life than dealing with the stress and craziness of working full time. I may still work an occasional day here and there as they are going to be pretty busy with administrative issues over the next month or so but on the 18th I will no longer need to get up every day to go to work. My biggest concern with not working is that I have never "not worked". I have always been pretty active and being that I live where I do and don't have any close friends around, there may be the occasional moments when I contemplate making the right choice for my sanity sake. I know this is where God is leading me though and I am interested to see what opportunities he presents me now that I have my weekdays free. Financially I know that things will not always be easy but that is the part where I trust God to take care of everything. He has been with us through more difficult transitions, I know he'll take care of us during this one.
Olivia is growing so much! This past week she started to roll from her back to her belly. Once she even went from belly to back but I think that was purely accidental since she looked shocked at what she did. I am pretty sure she is starting the teeth process. Her bottom gums have a few hard, white spots showing up, she drools like a faucet, and always is trying to have something in her mouth. I truly believe that she is too darn young....how come babies grow up so quickly??? Hopefully I will get some updated pics of her on the blog this weekend. I need to download the 300 some pics that are on my camera's memory card.
Last week I also got the good news that I was excused from jury duty with the circuit court due to breast feeding. I was VERY nervous about the prospect of having to serve, especially since I had already given my notice at work so I wouldn't have care and I would have issues with the breast feeding. I have honestly always wanted to go through the jury selection just to see what it is like but the timing was just rotten. Why couldn't they have picked my name this time last year??? Oh- well, my name is back in the random lottery so we'll see when I get called again.
Alright, I guess that is enough for tonight. Olivia is starting the whine for her last meal of the evening. Which means I am getting close to bed time! Yes!!! :)
