I got a new job AGAIN =)

Last week I got a new job. I was laid off for about 3 weeks and am very happy it didn't take 4 months to find a job like it did last time. My title is called Assistant Property Manager. My office is in Bellevue (although I won't be there much) it is called Windermere Property Management. I work for one Property Manager, she is VERY nice and we get along GREAT! This job is something that I feel very comfortable in and don't think it will take much training. There will be some big adjustments, such as making my own schedule (part time), being out at homes more than in front of a computer, and being paid base+commission. I had to get a blackberry, GPS, and laptop, all fun things to have just never a necessity. Also I will never need to put Aiden in child care because I get to make my own schedule and can bring him with me to work if needed. I think all these changes will work out for the better it is just a matter of getting used to them. I am anxious to get started and get into a routine.

And I have been reassured that I won't be getting laid off =)

Aiden started Kindergarten!

Aiden is officially a kindergartener he went to two days of kindergarten last week and so far loves it! We went to a school BBQ/Meet the teacher day before school started and Aiden got really excited once he got to see his class room. The second he sat down at his desk he asked if he could color. I hope this excitement lasts for a long time. I already signed up for PTA and plan to volunteer as much as possible. Which seems really do-able right now considering I don't have a job AGAIN. Anyway Aiden's teach is really nice is around my age and Aiden has a crush on her I think =) He always tells me how pretty her hair and face is.

As you may already know I did get laid off AGAIN. This came as a TOTAL surprise to me! All in one day my boss said he was losing a couple clients that brought him allot of income and had to lay me off. I can't believe I am back in this situation again. I did have an interview last week and I will go in for my 2nd interview this Wednesday so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Life seems like it has been very unstable lately. We have just been taking things day by day and trying to stay positive. I know things will all work out in the end I am just so ready to get things back on track and thought we were moving towards that direction and now we have had another set back.

Besides those two major things. Riley stayed with us all last week. We have been going to the park allot. Went to the Dave Matthews concert on Saturday compliments of Sara and the company she works, best free concert I have ever been to =). Visited Luke's parents. Went to the Evergreen State Fair. Luke and I have been loving our vegetable garden. We used some of our vegi's for a stir fry, I made zucchini bread and we had the best BLT with lettuce and tomatoes from our garden.

Hopefully the next time you hear from me I will be writing about a new great job. =)
