Sonja, Zoe, and Sophia go to the horse show!






My wonderful husband bravely agreed to watch Sonja her friend Zoe, and Sophia. Mama got the day off to go see Dave Ramsey Live. If you have no idea who that is, find out, he'll change your financial future! www.daveramsey.com (No, he isn't a get rich quick guy. Its actual solid financial advice. Ron and I fallow his plan.)

Anyway, here are some great pics of the girls enjoying the show!

Its offical! I'm a Mary-Kay Lady!


Call me for all your skin care needs! Sophia is proudly endorsing her Mama.

Easter

Easter has come and gone. It was wonderful! Our girls looked so cute! Sonja in yellow, Sophia in pink. Thank you Nana and Grampy for their beautiful dresses.

I think Sonja is getting what Easter really means. We asked her to tell the about Jesus on Easter. She said, " Bad man took Jesus even though he was good. They gave him owies and put him up on a tree. Jesus died. They put him in a cave, and then God made him alive." Can anyone think of a better way of telling this truth?

Day @ the Symphony

Sonja and I will go on dates from time to time. This time is was to the Pikes Peak Performing Arts Center to see a show based on Dr. Seuss. Beforehand, Sonja got to play a number of instruments. She was able to get good sound out of each of them! While the other kids where slobbering all over the brass instruments, she was getting good sound! (So proud!)

Ron and I















Aren't we cute! The story behind this photo is, we went to a MOPS (mothers of pre-schoolers) dinner. They had professional photographers there that took our picture for free. Didn't it come out good! I'm going to get it framed.

Whats been going on


The last few weeks have been slightly eventful. Ron is still on the job hunt. He has a few promising leads, hopefully he'll have a start date soon with one of them. To pass the time Ron has been baking bread. Very tasty stuff!

Papa goes to school!

Yesterday I went back to school! I learned the days of the week, the months of the year, and how to share with my classmates.

Sonja showed me the ropes, we had a great time!

Interviews going well

I've had a few good interviews, signed one contingency offer (these are offers that depend on certain factors, ie the company gaining the job position) and I have a number of people within the agency trying to jump through their respective HR hoops in order to get me hired (before anyone else does I imagine). So in the end, I may be in a situation where it's not just 'take the first job coming' but choose the best job presented.

Also, as a side note, Network Security people (like me) are weird. I was interviewing with some folks today (good people) who are in net security. We have our own language, we laugh at things I don't think most people would find funny. We're synical, salty, frustrated, but in the end, we are just passionate about what we do. And it's great to meet and talk with people (even if it's supposed to be a high pressure interview, felt more like we were talking over beers) that share the passion that you do. There's hope for crazy security types.

If you haven't heard already

My time (and the team) at the Missile Defense Agency will end on Jan 18th. But no worries! I'm currently interviewing with several great companies, and should be employed by the end of the month.

Everyone (including my wife) have expected me to 'freak out', but I have not. Not that I'm not concerned, or maybe a little stressed, but to completely lose it would be the worse thing for me (or anyone of us that I'm sure will go through this at one time or another). The only way to better yourself is through change, whether that change is initiated by you does not matter. So I see this opportunity to change as a good thing, to improve myself, my family, my life. So don't fear change!

I'll keep everyone posted.

Painted Toes

We all got pretty toes today. Can you guess who's toes Sonja painted?



We Love Our Toby Dog!



Toby is such a good dog. He loved wrestling with us. I can't get over how strong he is! He was almost able to push both of us off of him.
