Movin on up!

This week has been a GREAT week to say the least. I got a fabulous job working for a financial adviser, I am his client services assistant. He owns his own branch and there is only 3 of us in his office. The pay is more than I was making, plus bonuses, plus benefits. The office is located in a cute area in Mercer Island. I turned down a job a week or two ago because I new I wouldn't be very happy at the job and the pay was NOT good. I new I was worth more and had a lot to offer some employer out there. I am SOOO glad I followed my instincts and stayed on the job market! I start June 30th and already am making lists of things I want to get done before then =)

Also this week (today) Aiden graduated from Junior Kindergarten. His class sang 4 songs and even did a little dance with sunglasses on it was SUPER cute. I only teared up when I watched Aiden give his teach his cards he made for them, I really surprised myself thought I would cry all day =) During the graduation ceremony they gave out a couple awards to parents for helping through out the year. Guess who got one......I was pretty proud of myself and surprised. They called me the "field trip mom" and gave me a certificate. I just hope my new job will allow me the time to still be apart of Aiden's next school year and all the other years that Aiden allows me to show up =)

ALSO this week Luke and I started a big project (didn't realize it was so big). We removed the wood shed to make room for a vegetable garden. We dug up all the grass and now are getting ready to make the raised vegetable garden. I have broccoli, squashes, pumpkins, cantaloupe, cilantro and tomatoes that we are going to plant. I just hope they don't die after we plant them.

We also went to the Tomlinson's new cabin for the first time a couple weekends ago, we had SO much fun. I included some pictures from that weekend too.
