Baby Consignment Sale

Once we had Kaelyn, we started going up to the cities to a huge consignment sale that goes on twice a year. They basically have everything any parent would need for their child....especially clothing. Everything is used, but in great condition for the most part and so cheap!! We recently went up again to stock up on clothes for Kaelyn to get her through the winter months and had great luck!! She's pretty well set between the things we got and the things Jen's parents got for her!! It's so ncie to have aplace to find cheap clothing. Babies grow too fast to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes.

My New Job-First week

It's been a week since I started my new job and I really like it a lot!! I didn't mind the job I had before...but being in a job that you absolutely love is what everyone deserves!! I am so glad that the Lord has given me this opportunity to be a part of a job that is so perfect for me. I can now do what I love and help others while doing it. So far I really enjoy everyone that I work with and all that my job entails. I could definitely see myself doing this for a very long time!! I'll continue to keep you updated on how everything is going!

First day at a new job

My first day of the new job was yesterday. I have to say that so far I'm really excited!! I think it will be a fun change for me, and since sales is something I enjoy, I know I will like it a lot. Like any job, it's a bit overwhelming with all of the new stuff I need to learn and just getting used to working for a new company...but I think I'll catch on quickly and then it will be a piece of cake. In the beginning people are always a bit nervous I'm sure. The best part is that I work with a whole lot of really nice and helpful people. That always makes a job that much better. I'll continue to keep you posted on how it's going!

Seafood Recipes!

Before I married Jen, I didn't have a liking for many different foods besides meat and potatoes. I know, I know...that sounds funny and a little cliche, but it's true!!! Throughout the years though, she has encouraged me to try new things, and now one thing I really enjoy from time to time is shrimp. Have you ever had it? If not, you're truly missing out!! Recently I heard of the Great American Seafood cook off 2008, so I checked out their site to see if I could find some some great seafood recipes. Obviously I was hoping to find something great with shrimp, and of course, I did! You should check it out next time you get a chance! I was really excited to have found something like The Texas Gulf Shrimp by Chef Mark Holley from Texas, that was probably my favorite out of the top five recipes chosen.

Many people are unsure about eating seafood because they're not sure how fresh it is or what it will taste like. I am here to tell you that I've learned by eating domestic seafood you not only get fresh food, but it's local and tastes great!! Something to think about the next time you're considering seafood.

If you'd like to learn more about great seafood and check out some amazing recipes you can go and vote at www.greatamericanseafoodcookoff.com for a chance to win a trip to New Orleans!! Their site is really user friendly and fun to browse too!

Needing to earn more money.....

More and more people lately are probably doing the same thing I am....trying to find different ways to make money. Whether it be different jobs that pay better, or jobs on the side.....there's good news.....there are options out there if we just take the time to look. One way that we like ot make a little extra cash is through ebay. Jen has been doing some changes around the house and has been selling a lot of decorative items on there. What's "old news" to one person, may be just the thing that someone else is looking for. I really enjoy that there's such an easy way to sell things and make some quick cash. It's SO simple and anyone could do it. If you're wanting to earn a bit more eBay is one way to go most definitely!!

Bittersweet Day Tomorrow

It's odd to think that tomorrow is my last day with my current job! Although I'm very excited to move forward on this journey God is taking me on....I'm also a little sad to be leaving some of my co-workers!! Many of them have been such great friends to me....I will definitely miss them greatly! I'm hoping that I will see them often though. On the otherhand, this new job is all I can think about and makes me more excited each day that passes. One more day and I will officially be an employee of FC! It is my absolute dream job and one I am so blessed to have!! I will keep you posted on the job and how it is going....
