Good Morning Lovely Ladies!!!!
I was so sad to see that I missed so much chatter yesterday while I was away from my computer----but I am all caught up and ready to keep chatting!!! ;o)
Yesterday was a good day---my mom and Kristi were both off, so we enjoyed a beautiful day outside---even went back to the pumpkin patch with Megan so those two could get some pumpkins. LOTS OF FUN!!!
Then Tom took Megan and I out to dinner last night as a surprise to celebrate---"Celebrate what?" you might be asking?????? WELL, that is the other really good thing that happened yesterday. My Dad has his own company, and for the longest time, Kristi has worked for him running a variety of computer applications and whatnot, BUT she just got a new job with a local college in a field related to her degree. SO, she will no longer be able to work for my dad---so he is going to have me do what she was doing!!!! I will COMPLETELY be able to do the work at home without interfering with my normal routine with Megan, and get paid really well to do it!!! YEAH!!! I am so excited!!!! So we went out to celebrate, and the first thing Tom said was that we would use some of the money I earn to save up for our dream WDW vacation!!!! WL HERE WE COME BABY!!!!! (or should we shoot for a stay at Poly or Contemporary??????) ;o) Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! We will probably still wait until September, unless we change to May?????? Hmmmmmmm..........what will we do?????? I feel so excited about this opportunity---now I can contribute back to our family and not feel so badly about not working, I will still be able to be there and take care of all Megan's needs, we will be able to easily save up for our trip, and I will have some extra running money to help out with purchases that I want to make. YEAH!!!! It was a happy day yesterday for sure!!!!
At dinner, we also talked about what we want to do for this Fall trip, and I think we are definitely heading down to Gatlinburg in November some time. They begin their Christmas activities November 5, so there will be PLENTY for us to do, and we have found some INSANELY reasonable deals for lodging, etc. It won't be WDW, but it will be away from here at least!!!!
I know some of you have been having it rough lately, and I almost hesitated sharing my good day yesterday because I didn't want to seem like I was gloating, but then I realized that we (the Lapuettes) are here for each other through the good times and the bad times, and I just wanted to share something good with everyone. Know that I am constantly and continuously praying for all of us that we all enjoy FAR more good than bad----so here's another wish for some additional happiness found out there by all of you!!! Love you guys!!! Jen
