Back To Work

So after many discussions and many prayers Boston and I decided I would try to get a Part Time Job at night. Maybe a week after we decided I would really start looking. My sister-in-law told me of a friend that was working at Wells Fargo from 8-12 at night. So I went and applied to work there. A few days later one of my good friends told me Bank of America was hiring for a PT position from 5-10 at night. Both jobs were Mon-Fri. So I sent my resume with my friend and last Monday was called in for an interview. I was nervous, but felt the interview went well. The next day I recieved a call and Bank of America wanted me to work for them. I did all the paperwork and received a call this past Tuesday asking me to come to work that night. So I got ready and left to work for the first time in over 6 months. It was hard knowing I couldn't come back and see Katelyn when I wanted and I shed a few tears that night because I was not able to do her bedtime ritual with her. However I am so blessed to be home with her through the day. Boston gets home around 3 each day so we do not have to put Katelyn in daycare. We get to be with her. I am so blessed to have gotten this job and so far really enjoy it. My manager seems to be a great person and the team I work with seem like nice people. I must say I am so blessed for I know so many people are looking for jobs and unable to find them. I am glad that I can help provide for my family. So back to work we go and then in the fall it is back to school. UGH!

To the best two years....

I can't believe two years ago I knelt across from you and said yes. Two years ago I married the most amazing guy I had ever met. Two years ago I married my best friend. Boston you are my friend, my love, my companion, my shoulder to cry on, my confidant, my husband, and the most amazing dad ever. I love the way you can make me smile when I really would like to punch you. I love that I can always have fun with you. I love the way you make everything all right when I feel like everything is falling apart. The way you will hug on Katelyn and play with her until one of you can't take it anymore. I love how you will jump in and help anyone no matter what is going on. The way you honor your priesthood and the example you are to everyone around you. I love how you are like a sponge when it comes to the gospel. You are such a great example to Katelyn and I. Here is to the best two years and many more to come. I love you with all my heart and always will.

Love,

Your E.C.

Happy Birthday Azure

My Dear Sister,

It seems like only yesterday I was telling you you had a ski slop as a nose and you would say "At least mine doesn't take up my whole face." Or when Brian called and you had me pretend to be you. We would have gotten away with it if he hadn't said I love you and I started to laugh. You always saved me when I was getting picked on and you were always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. I miss your laugh and the dorky things you did, because we all know if you put floaties on your feet you will be able to walk on water or maybe it will just make you flip under and you will almost drown. There are so many good times we had. Like on the weekends when you moved back home and we would lie in your bed and just talk about everything. The times Karlee and I would come to dinner at the Rim and see you before a big Volleyball game. I miss singing with you. I would have never started singing in Church if you wouldn't have made me sing with you. I wouldn't have started drinking an ICEE after a hard day of two-a-days if you wouldn't have taken us there each day my Freshman year. You were always such a great example and we all know you could be a terd at times. However I miss you my dear sister. I wish you could be here to see your little man grow up and be able to play with your new neices and nephews. Today is your day and will always be to me. Thank you for all you did for me and one day we WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. Until that day you are always in my heart. I love you so much!

Love,

Tee

6 months!

Can you believe it? I know I can't! Katelyn is now 6 months old. We had her check up today and the nurse looked at her and said she is such a big girl for 6 months. She is 28 inches long putting her above the 95% for her height. 19lbs. 12oz. putting her in the 95% for her weight and her head is 17 in. putting her in the 75% for her head. The Dr. said she looks great. She is proportionate and a happy baby.

I say she is too big for her age and needs to slow down. She is already in 9-12 month clothes and scooting around the floor after things. If she sees something she wants. She will climb out of your arms to get it. She eats around 4-5 jars of baby food a day and she has her first tooth!
