Potty Training and more!

So for the last few weeks we have been potty training Jeremy which was much much too easy. I do appreciate how easily he learned but I keep waiting for a big surprise. There isn't much new going on with us so I will just add some pictures.

I want my Fridays Back

Last night Heather looked up from the laptop and sighed, "I want my Fridays back." That was exactly what I was feeling too.

When I first lost my job I felt a huge weight off my shoulders. I no longer woke up in the middle of the night worrying about all the empty buildings downtown, or the spec. building being empty, how I am going to loan out $75,000 to businesses who didn't care, or wondering what everyone wanted me to do about them. I have to admit that it was nice to have limitless time off of work. But after the glamour of having so much time off , and limitless travel possibilities, my worries shifted from a very stressful job to no job. I really didn't know what to do. Should I try to stay in Economic Development (slightly throw up in mouth), or should I pursue something totally different? We did a lot of pondering and praying.

We decided that I was the happiest when I worked with the youth. After we decided the route we wanted to take, we started in our routine. Heather would search for jobs, and I would fill out the applications, and we both would wait. We filled our extra time playing with the kids, remodeling a bathroom, and watching movies. We got so many movies from the library that we don't even know what we would check out anymore. It hasn't been the same since I lost my job, everyday seems a little like Friday. The only day that is different is Sunday and an occasional Saturday because of our church callings. We used to look forward to fridays, now it is blended into the rest of the week like any other day.

I too can't wait to get my Fridays back.
