Yesterday I got a fantastic phone call from Tammy, a manager with Hammack Management, and she informed me that I was hired as an apartment manager and would be starting on the 21st (today)!

I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started this morning at 9 a.m. and worked until 6 p.m. I work with this really nice guy named Mark, he's the apartment manager there. I'll be his assistant until I'm completely trained. He is a member of the church, has a wife and two daughters, 2 years old and 1 month old. The job was really easy and I picked it up really fast. So far I really like it.

For a while there I thought it was hopeless and I would never find a job, but I kept on praying and asking others to pray. I noticed, durring my unemployment, how when I really needed something, it would come to me. Like yesterday, I was thinking about how low I am on food and wondering how I was going to make it through the month, when my ex-husband stopped by and started bringing up grocery bags of food! Just out of no where! He explained that he's leaving for Iraq soon and doesn't want anything to go to waste. He even had a package of diapers in the bags! It was amazing, and it was an answer to a silent prayer in my heart. When I would need some time to myself, a friend would call and ask if she/he could take Sierra for me. It seemed that I never had to ask anyone, except Heavonly Father, for anything, they just gave out of the goodness of their hearts. I know that Heavonly Father sent the Holy Ghost to my friends and family, and He silently whispered what I needed to them. Thank goodness I have such wonderful people in my life. Sierra and I wouldn't have made it without their help and kindness.

A special thanks to my parents for always believing in me and always being willing to help without expecting anything in return. I love you both!

Last night I put that pillow case on Sierra's pillow and tonight, when she went to bed, she looked at it and said, "nite nite daddy." Isn't that just the cutest!

Justin's squadron took individual pictures of all the troops leaving for Iraq, then they put them on these pillow cases for the troops to give to their families. Justin gave this pillow case to Sierra. When she saw the picture, she gave it a kiss and said "da da." I think it's a good idea, she'll see it everynight before bed and first thing every morning. So, she won't forget him.

Sticker

Sierra got a some little stickers from her doctor after she bravely got 3 shots! She was a champ through the whole thing and didn't cry at all. Anyway, I put one of the stickers on her nose and she thought that was funny, so she put one on mine. Later on, she was watching Baby Einstien, I went in to check on her and she has the sticker on her nose. I laughed so hard!
That same night I took a picture of the way she places her legs, crossed, it's just so lady like.

update

Sorry, no pictures, but I promise to take a ton tomorrow and post them tomorrow night...anyway...

I just wanted to give everyone an update, still no job, but lots of prospects. It's wednesday and I've had 4 interviews this week and set up 2 more for next week, so that's pretty good. I guess things are looking up. Now I wait.

Just a quick post to say that I haven't taken any pictures recently and therefore have nothing to post about. Besides, I am still (after 3 months) looking for a job and I'm starting to freak out! I'm grateful that I still have a roof over my head and food to eat, but who knows how long I can sustain that. Well, I don't want to be a downer, so I'll stop here. I'll post some pictures soon.
