HE GOT A JOB!!!!

Today is the day I have been waiting for, for a LONG time.  Christopher started a NEW JOB.  Ya, that's right, HE GOT A JOB!!!!  It may not be what he was thinking of but it is a job and I think he will LOVE it. He has always wanted a sales job that he did not have to drive all day or be stuck inside a store. Christopher started working at Ken Garff in Riverdale today.  He has been without a real job for a year now.  It had been a rough year without a job, but as of today that is in the past.  I was the dorky wife that took a picture of him driving away. I told him that I was going to come take his picture at work but I decided that might embarrass him just a little bit. 

Christopher has been able to pick up a few side jobs here and there throughout the past year.  One on the jobs he found was just recently working out at the Great Salt Lake.  His great job was to clean brine shrimp.  It totally sucked but he stuck it out for a while.  They worked 7 days a week, 12 hour days.  He did not get to come home each night and if we were lucky he could find a ride home. He would get home around 7 and then have to be back by 5 the next morning.  He learned a little Spanish since if he wanted to communicate with his co-workers he had to.  He actually was offered another job today with GSL working on the production line.  I am sure glad that he found another job so he does not have to do that dirty and SMELLY work. He stunk soooo bad when he came home.  I actually threw some of his clothes away today that he wore at the GSL.  The picture above is Christopher cleaning brine shrimp.  I am just so grateful that he has found work and hopefully we don't have to go throught that challenge again ever!!!

Tessa at the dentist

Tessa had her first experience at the dentist last week.  She was so funny.  She did not know what to think of everything.  She just laid there like a good little girl.  She did not really cry, she just scowled at the girl.  Chloe on the other hand bawled and bawled.  She made Tessa go first and then she still cried.  Neither girl had any cavities!!!!
Tessa was a little worried when they put the cape on her for the x-rays.  There was no way she was going to let them put the stuff in her mouth for the x-ray. 
Tessa tried to smile but everything was just too weird to crack a smile.

Pretty Girl

I just can't believe how fast Chloe is growning up.  I know everyone says this about their kids but it is so true.  It is kind of sad to me.  I can't believe that in August she will be in Kindergarten.  Boy will I miss that little girl everyday.  I will be the mom crying as the bus drives away.  Chloe is such a pretty little girl.  She is wearing the new Christmas dress that my parents gave her.  She was sooooo excited to wear the fur vest.  She is totally about fancy.  She wants to be fancy all of the time.  I don't know where this all came from.  I am not about fancy and have never been.
