September 2012

September has come and gone. I will post some cute pictures that I have found for the month. Cameron is still in love with Super Mario Brothers. He always has to sleep with his Mario.

I am really having some fun with Instagram. Cameron still likes Angry Birds just not as much as Super Mario Brothers. We where walking around Kmart and he found this Hat. This is what he says that he is going to be for Halloween. I'm good that what ever makes him happy.

In other news Blaine quit his job. He has been at Arizona Interactive for 7 1/2 years. They have been good to us but we need to. Not only has he gone to school to become a Diesel Mechanic but he finished up his CDL school so now he is looking for a job driving truck. We decided that it would be better for him to leave so that he could train his replacement and now he can focus 100% on finding a job. I will start working full time at the Ribbon Store until he can find something.
They where very nice and threw him a going away lunch and invited me to join them. They had some super yummy BBQ so that was nice. I guess technically he still works for them just part time doing Clipper. That way it works out better for taxes and for there insurance and stuff like that. So we know he will be working at least one weekend a month.

John the big boss wanted to say a few words and he really paid Blaine some really nice complements. He said that if it wasn't for Blaine they couldn't of moved Clipper from California production to AZ. He talked about all the long thankless hours Blaine would put in to make sure that the product got out on time. It was really nice to hear and some of the people in the room didn't realize all that Blaine did around there. The guy standing by the balloons is Wade his replacement and everyone kept saying he has some really big shoes to fill.

Also in September we as a few members of the ward was able to do a 2nd yard sale  for Paula Layton and her boys. It was a three house event. We took all the left over stuff from the 1st one and still sold a lot for her and her boys. The turn out was amazing.

Trying to keep my head above water

You know in Nemo where Dori sing swimming swimming just keep swimming or something like that. Well that is what I keep thinking latley. Blaine got his CDL and all of his endorsements except passenger this month. I have applied to so many places and still NOTHING! It is the most frustrating thing ever. Blaines last day at his current job is a week from Saturday and we have nothing lined up yet. I feel like will we ever catch a break? What are we doing wrong why isnt anything working out? I really am trying to stay positive but it is really hard to do. We really can't do OTR it would be not a good thing for anyone involved. It would really do a number on Ryan and I would have to pull him out and home school him just cuz of how he would freak out. OTR is not an option so I keep praying that something will work out and that he will be able to find a good local driving job. I am so far behind on this blog partly cuz all I do is look for jobs and apply online. Between that and PTO stuff I don't have a lot of extra time but one of these days I WILL get caught up.
