I went out to a girls dinner last night to say good bye to our friend Robbin she is moving to Georgia. While at dinner I was informed that it has been to long since my last blog posting so I figured I would type something up while I wait for it to get closer to dinner time.

Most of you already know, but I will say it anyway I was laid off from my job 9 days after my boss switched me to part time. Which is totally silly why didn't you just lay me off from the beginning? O'well it is what it is. We decided to keep Aiden in his Junior Kindergarten program it is very important to us and not that much money. I am of course on unemployment which helps. I have been applying for jobs EVERYDAY all mostly relating to admin type of work. I have not received one phone call or email back, I can only imagine all the resumes these companies are getting. So I have started to try and be more creative, I added testimonials from past clients that Moshe and I worked with and starting putting in the subject line of the email with my resume "A perfect Administrative Assistant!". Whatever helps me stand out...right =) If anyone has any others ideas please let me know.

Aiden and I have been enjoying our times together. We have gone to the park a couple times, gone over to Dionne's and played with Amya. We also had Riley for her whole mid-winter break which was awesome. Oh yeah and we went to the Bouncy Place, which is a huge warehouse with tons of different blow toys the kids and I had TONS of fun and it was really cheap, my perfect kind of day! We also have been preparing for Aiden's birthday, and I must say this birthday has been a emotional one I just can't believe he is turning 5 and starting kindergarten so soon, I have SO many things on my mind and so many concerns about wanting him to get started on the right foot and have a positive attitude about school, it is just SUPER important to me and I really hope I do everything in my power to encourage him and don't realize it when it is to late. Speaking of emotional I almost cried looking at lunch boxes at Target thinking about Aiden bringing lunch to school and eating in a cafeteria.

Luke is doing good trying to stay busy at work, it has slowed down allot. Doing side jobs on the weekend whenever they are available. We booked our condo for Kauai two days ago, we are SOOoo excited to finally get that booked and paid for it was a very hard decision where to stay but we ended up right next door to T&T and saved several hundred dollars which was awesome. The whole trip is paid for now (except spending money) and we can't wait!

Funny story.....So I went to pick up Aiden from school today and his teacher was like "I have to tell you what Aiden said today" and she showed me this book with kittens and the kittens were doing cute things, she said "I showed the kids the pictures and asked them what they thought the kittens were doing", Aiden looked at the kitten stretching and said "Pilates!". That's my boy!

All in all, we are trying to stay positive through this unstable time and make the most of it. Everything always seams to work it self out.

PS...If anyone has any creative ideas for applying for new jobs, I am open to anything or any ideas for fun and cheap things to do with Aiden we are always wanting to try new things.

PPS... I will miss you Robbin!
