Another update

Nate's interview went well and he has a second interview on Wednesday! Yay! I will keep you updated.

This is an old pic, but I think its cute.

Job Update

Today is kind of a big day for us. Nate has an interview for a position here in Spokane with his old boss. This doesn't make much sense, but Pfizer laid off a bunch of people, reorganized the district, and are now hiring again for a few positions. Anyway, Nate thinks he has a good shot, but there is just no way of knowing what will happen.

So... if he doesn't get this position here in Spokane, we will start applying in Seattle and Tacoma. If that doesn't work out after a few weeks, then we will start looking elsewhere.

We would love to live in the Seattle area, but it is SO MUCH more expensive than Spokane and the traffic is pretty bad. But we both love the scenery there, and there is a lot to do, and its just home to us.

Gig Harbor, Washington (where I grew up)

Kirkland, Washington (where Nate grew up)

But we also love it here. Plus, we just moved into our home, which we love. And we have a great ward, and a great neighborhood, and Nate has family close by.

So we would be happy with either option. I will let you know what happens. This is a crazy time for us. Everything is up in the air. Luckily, Nate is still getting paid. If it wasn't for that, I might be freaking out.

For a little girl's room...

I like the tree on the wall.

Aren't these cute ideas? I want to make the hanging bouquets. It looks pretty easy, but I'm not sure where I would find little flowers that cute. These are all from Pottery Barn.

I've just discovered this artist named Kate Birch. She's from Salt Lake City. I saw one of her paintings at World Market, and now I want to buy all of her stuff.

Have I mentioned...

that I LOVE green? I want some huge plants now because of this photo. I love this room.

Barf

I'm just gonna say that Jason is so fake, and so cheesy. And SO BORING!!! As I said before.

This should help

I bought this at Target today. I'm hoping it will change my life. Shopping with Paige is traumatic for me every single time. I dread it.

When I pulled the monkey out of the box, Paige started giving it kisses and saying, "Muh-kee! Muh-kee!"

Little does she know, this innocent little monkey is actually a restraining device. :)

P.S. I have been warned that I can expect stares and rude comments from strangers because of the whole "leash" thing. Well... I'm not gonna stand for it. I'm going to respond to every rude comment or glare I see, and it may not be pleasant.
