So I have a lot of News that I need to post. I guess I'll start with the REALLY big news. Jason got a job offer!!! It's for a unix system engineering position (whatever that is) at Palantir Technologies He'd be making VERY good money, with benifits, and other perks. He really excited about it. The Job offer came in on Friday, and he's going to go ahead and accept it tomorrow. It feels like a heavy weight has been lifted from us, and I just hope that he won't have to look for another job for a VERY long time.
The second news has a story with it, so let me start with Saturday afternoon. Jason, Lindsey, Westley and I were at the Mall, to buy Lindsey new shoes, and just look around at the new shops (we hardly ever go to the mall except for Santa, and we kinda skipped him this year). We had stopped outside the Disney store to look at the displays, when a woman approached us and said, "Your daughter is beautiful. Have you ever thought of putting her on TV?" Jason and I were dumbfounded. Well, she went on to explain that she was a scout for a Talent Scouting Agency. She invited Lindsey to go to an audition being held close by the next day. Lindsey didn't really know how to feel about it, so we were unsure if we were going to go. However, the next morning while we were at the Farmer's Market, another "scout" spotted Lindsey, and told her she'd do great if she went to the auditions. Well, that convinced her and us. We stopped by Ross, and got her a new outfit (totally cute for only 8 bucks!). We went to the Audition, and she did great (well, better then some of those other kids anyways). So we talked to an "agent" and he said we could get a call back sometime this week. Lindsey is so excited.
Did you know yesterday was super bowl Sunday? Well, we went and watched the game at my Mother-in-laws house, who has a huge widescreen hi-def tv. Tons of chips, dips, nachos, tortilla soup, Cake, Cheese Cake, Ice cream, and soda. Tom Petty did an awesome show at halftime, and the game was pretty interesting in the second half. Afterwords we played Wii for a little bit, before heading home. I think nextyear, we'll plan a healthier superbowl party. More salad and less cheese. Anyways that's all the news from here. I glad I got you all caught up, and maybe later this week I will have time to post my 7 things, I'm supposed to do since Suzanne tagged me.

Sounds like some great things going on for you guys! The job security always feels good. And I bet Lindsey had fun auditioning. You'll have to let us know how it all turns out!
Congrats on how things are starting to work out! Yeah, it does sound like fun for Lindsey. What all does an audition require?
