Daddy

Happy Fathers Day, Dad!

My dad is just the most amazing man I've ever known. He's always been the best dad, role model and friend to both me and my brother... and now that Matt and I are married, he's more than accepted him- He really considers Matt to be part of the family- I loooove that! I've definitely noticed more now than ever before that my dad can pretty much to ANYTHING- literally! Things that Matt and I don't know or don't know how to do- I always call my dad and he pretty much ALWAYS has an answer for me... its usually the right answer too! I know that I am so lucky to be able to call MY dad DAD! =) He's the best there is and that's all there is to it!!

One more week!

I found out today that I will actually be starting at the hospital next Monday. I have an appointment with Employee Health on Friday to get my TB test and that will be checked first thing Monday morning, then I will fill out my paperwork with Human Resources and go straight to work when that stuff is finished up. I'm really excited to start working again- Matt and I have gone over our finances and figured everything out, I think things are going to work out really good for us. PLUS it'll be nice to have that extra pay check EVERY Friday- we're DEF. not used to that, AT ALL! I can't wait to order from ABC Distributing, go shopping, get Matt's truck running, and so much other stuff that's been on hold for a while! Ah, I'm so excited!

There are a couple other exciting things coming up pretty fast for us, My nephew Tylor flies in on Friday- which we just can't wait for! He's such a good kid... and he's 10 so that's the perfect age to be able to go hiking, camping, fishing, and swimming! I'm hoping we'll get to go over to the beach too, but I dunno what our plans are yet. I start work on Monday, Matt is having surgery next Tues & this should be the FINAL one! They're doing a bone graft from his hip and pinning everything together... once it's healed we shouldn't have any more problems, I can't wait for it to be taken care of. Then my parents are coming up for 4th of July =) The casino that is about 15 minutes away does fireworks and stuff and I saw in the paper today that there's a parade and stuff down town- I think those will both be really fun for us to do with my parents and with Tylor & finally when my parents head back to AZ they are going to be taking Matthew and Ty with them... Matt will be in AZ for 8 days without me. I'm kinda bummed that I don't get to go and that we don't get to have this vacation together like we had planned, but it's much more important to us for me to have this job... and that means no vacay for a year- geesh! lol. I'm really excited that he's going to get to see the fam and go out with everyone tho, even if I can't be there.

Today has actually been a productive day, the house is pretty clean, I went to the Post Office to send out our Fathers Day cards & called the bank and got our 2nd checking account open... I still have to go to the hospital to pick up prescriptions but other than that I'm gonna be lazy... CMA's are on! I loooooove ANY Country Music Awards so I'm really excited to watch them tonight...

This is all for now! XOXOX

Working Woman!!

That's right... Ladies and Gentlemen- I finally got a job! A J-O-B. I got one! YAY! I was pretty bummed out when I went in for an interview last Monday at the Liberty Center [[kind of like a "rec center" for single sailors]] and never got the call back... I didn't get the job. On Friday I was just waiting for my best friend, Sam and her little girl, Sophia to get here when at 11 am I get a phone call from a temp agency that I got on with a couple months ago and they say they think they might have something for me... I could have the interview if I could be there by 1:30... So- I jumped in the shower, got dressed, put on my make up, did my hair, steamed my business suit and headed into Hanford. The interview was for the position of the receptionist for the purchasing dept for the local hospital and it went SOOOO good! I honestly felt like I already worked there. At about 4 PM I got a call back setting up a second interview for this morning [[Monday]] which also went AWESOME and got the call at about 5 PM tonight that the job was mine. I'm so excited, I'm going to be working from 8:30-5, Monday thru Friday- How perfect is that?! One draw back- NO VACATION... AT ALL! NONE! So that's pretty disappointing, especially since we were gonna be going home after Matt's surgery [[on June 23rd]] for a week or so aaaaand now I can't go, BUT I do know that in the long run this is what's right for us. I can't wait to get our debt paid off, it shouldn't take very long, AT ALL... and I can't wait to start saving some monay =) Finally! Anyways, I should be starting in the middle of next week. I have to wait for my background check to clear and when that happens I have to go in for my TB test- that takes two days, and when that comes back good- I'll start that day. We're thinking probably Wednesday or Thursday of next week. YAY! AND my mom called me tonight to let me know that she was going to be sending me a check and buying me all new work clothes, how awesome is that?! I told her she didn't have to do anything like that and she insisted! Ah, it'll be so nice to go clothes shopping, its been too long!

Sam and Sophia came up and spent the weekend with us... It was so nice to have them here. I'm so blessed to have both of them in my life- I don't know what I would do without Sam. She is seriously the best friend anyone could ever ask for. We didn't do anything crazy or super exciting, but the weekend was perfect. We just hung out on Friday, but on Saturday Matt, Sam, Sophie, & I went out for lunch [[mmmmmmmm! mexican food!]] then came back to base so the baby could take a nap, then us girls went to down town Hanford and walked around. I love all the thrift stores, clothing boutiques & antique shops... its so cute down there- it reminds me of Prescott! Aaaand on the way home we got everything we needed to make sundaes and then ordered pizza for dinner =) OOOOOH, AND- Sam brought Matt and I chimi's from our favorite restaurant at home [[Tony's]] And they were just absolutely AMAZING, yuuuummmmy!

Anyways, Just a quick little update =) Things have just been great lately! I can't wait to start working... omg, I don't even know what it feels like to work anymore- Its honestly been about a year since I truely worked full time.... geeeesh!

I'm outta here for now! Love to those of you reading this because you care! XoXo
