Olympics

So, I have been watching the Gymnastics, swimming, diving and Women's beach Vollyball (no not because of thier outfits:)) and I really enjoy them all EXCEPT Gymnastics. The reason why I say this is because I do not understand China and their Gymnasts. Non of them are of age (at least 16,everyone knows that) yet when there is a tie breaker China ALWAYS gets GOLD. Now seriously, why do people let this happen.......?

Puppies Galore



I can't leave out our temporary addition to our family!

Tailor has her first chore





So Tailor has her first chore, watering our Lilocs out by the ditch. Every time she does she gets $1.00. She is so cute, last time she watered them I think she got just as wet as the plants:)

My little helper


Tailor is sooo helpful, she is now helping me with the laundry. Now if I could just get Kasey to be helpful :)

Thanks Grandma Allred!


So Tailors FAVORITE shirt is her Indian's "T-shirt" she got from my mom from Ohio. Tailor calls it her T-shirt, she acts like it is the only t-shirt she has ever had, it is cute.

Tailor going through her "prizes" from CHICAGO


Tailor was so excited to get prizes from my trip to Chicago. I would talk to her every night on the phone and she would ask "did you find my prize yet?" and I would say "not yet honey, hopefully in a few days". That is what got her through me being gone I think. So I first went to the horrible gift shop in the hotel, my heck it was a Merriot, you would think they would have something decent. I found a few cheap (dumb) things but then we went to eat right next to a mall and one of my friends came with me to get T something out of American Greatings. I found her a T-shirt and a little yellow school bus that says Chicago (that was her favorite thing!). Chicago was pretty fun, I got to eat at really great places, try Chicago style pizza, get to know my co-workers better and laughed A LOT! The lady that I roomed with was GREAT! we would stay up until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning just talking, that was the first time we ever really talked, it was great. It was work but it was fun work, the convention has huge and fun. We always went to the same place for lunch the whole time we were there, by the time we left the waiters all knew who we were and were very nice and good at their jobs. BUT I guess that was my last trip since I am no longer working at SEI starting August 25th. BUT I am ready to move on, I know I was only there for 6 months but that was long enough.

I have a feeling I spelt her name wrong:( Anyways here are a few pics of her party that Tailor got to go to!

FINALLY!

I guess I can say finally for two things blogging and a NEW JOB!!! So I went in for an interview yesterday for a job with the University and I got a call today saying I got the position. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!! I can not even belive it, I have been wanting a new job for SOOOOOOOOOOOO long and now finally I got one that I think I will really enjoy. I will be working at the Women's Center PLanning, Organizing, and a lot of other things. Ever since I worked at BRASC I just have this joy of helping people weither they have a disability or not and this is what I am doing, I am continuing to help people.! Plus the University has great benefits, great time off and a great atmosphere. The office is going to be great, there are three of us working together my desk is just across from my co-workers desk (I have nver had this before, I have had jobs that I am by myself either on a different level from everyone else or my office is doors down from any sign of humans). If you know me I am a very social person so I need this interaction to keep myself happy:). T has also received a different change of pace, she started a new daycare with A LOT more children than she is use to, but I dropped her off today and she was fine. The one thing she said was "they don't have their shoes off", because where she was before they kids always took their shoes off before entering the house.
I am hoping someday my parents will be closer so they can watch T for me while I am working because not having to pay for daycare would be a HUGE blessing, one which I had at one time, but also a pain because working and watching your child is also very difficult.
None the less I feel very happy, excited, speach less and overwhelmed with everything that I am going to be learning here in the near future. BUT I am always up for new things and this one I am definetly looking forwad to.
Pics of T coming soon.
