Great Garage Sale Finds!





So Saturday morning I drug Jeffrey and Peyton around to some garage sales in the Mexico area. We were pretty successful in our buys, or at least I think we were. We got Peyton a little Tikes climb and slide outside toy, a little tikes vanity set complete with a blow dryer, two different colors of lipstick and two different colors of fingernail polish, we also got her a leapfrog shop and pretend shopping cart that comes with 10 different food items, which she can scan with a scanner that is attached to the cart and it tells her what it is and counts with her. We also purchased a sit and stand stroller. That will be very handy in the future when we other kiddos. All in all I would say we had a good day. :)
Sunday we had rehearsal for Uncle Eric and Aunt Sara's wedding that is coming up this Friday night. Peyton is the flower girl and I can't wait to watch her walk down the aisle. The little boy that she is walking with is older, maybe 6-ish? Anyway, she just grabs ahold of his hand and goes where ever he will take her. So cute. I will post pictures next week some time, hopefully, I start my new job next week so I hope I will have some free time to post. :)
Also a quick update on Zac Talley. For those of you that don't know what is going on, Zac is my 7 year old cousin who was diagnosed last June with a brain tumor. At the end of May he was sent home and placed on Hospice. Zac is still hanging in there, he is the strongest person I know. If everyone can just add Zac to your prayer list and say a little prayer for him that would be great. Here is a link to his website, it has all his information on it: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/zactalley Thank you all!

It's Official

Okay it's official, I will be starting at Rusk on June 22nd. I'm super excited about this opportunity, but really nervous at the same time. I am going to have a lot of learning to do at the beginning. Not only with it being a new job but also re-teaching myself stuff that I learnt in nursing school since this is totally a different direction then what I am use too! But I can't wait! I am ready for the challenge!
House news, with me starting a new job, the bank requires 2 paychecks before they will let us start therefore we will be waiting at least another month. There shouldn't be a problem since I will be making a lot more money over there, just something the bank has to do. We are waiting on an appraisal right now, so hopefully we will get that done soon, then as soon as I get my second check we can get started. Now we are hoping to get done by Christmas. We'll see. Once we finally get started it really shouldn't take too long since we are just doing an earth contact home, but there are always those little problems that you never see coming.
Also, Jeffrey and I will be taking a mini vacation in late July, July 24-27 (I think) to go the the Allstar 400 Nascar race at the Brickyard! Woohoo, I'm super excited, we have some of the best seats in the house. Not excited about leaving Peyton for the weekend but she will be in good hands, I'm sure.
