Update

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.

The Missing Five Minutes

Westley and I were getting ready to go pick up Lindsey from school. It finally stopped raining, so we were going to walk. I got Westley all dressed, and cute looking. We still had time before we needed to leave, so I went out to start a load of Laundry. Westley seemed to be fine, watching TV. I was gone for only five minutes, and when I got back, he had his shoes and socks, and pants off. Plus his outter shirt. Krafty little guy huh? I took a picture of him undressed, then I dressed him again, and took a picture, so you kinda get a before and after. Take a look.

Everything is going fine here. Jason's got a few prospective jobs, so he should be empolyed again soon. Westley is trying to change my sleep patterns, by waking up around 11:30 and wanting to play until after midnight. Along with being a little under the weather, I haven't felt too good because of lack of sleep. I don't know if it's time to nix his naps, or what, but somethings gotta change, and I don't see how it can be me. I hope all is well with everyone else.

Keeping it together

So, Jason was laid off work. They gave him a bunch of excuses, like the department (of 3 people) was too big, and they needed to scale it back. They were moving all there IT stuff to Corporate, and so on, but Jason kinda knew this was coming (though it was still a shock to me)
I had gone back and applied for a job at the theater, just because I thought we could use the extra money, and not have to go to the Bank of Mom and Dad as often. I haven't herd back from them yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll get the job, and now my hours are pretty open till Jason finds something else. Hopefully it won't take him too long. Everyone's trying to help him. Even his Dad took his reseme to show it around to people he knows. The sooner He gets something, the better I'll feel.
As for everything else. It's been fine around here. Lindsey's doing great in school, and Westley is learning to wave to people.
I hope everyone is well, and that none of you hit a bump this hard.

How bout this year?

It's almost been nothing but rain over in in W.C., but nothing was as bad as this past weekend, almost flooding our back yard like it did a couple years ok. Thanks to some quick thinking from Jason, and Lindsey being so great to watch Westley while Jason and I got soaked to dig a trench for the water to drain from, and we were able to avert disaster. It even snowed on top of Mount Diablo. How do I know this? Well, as Jason's first act as the Ameteur radio club president, he had to go fix something that had broken in the storm. So we went to the top of Mount Diablo, and saw the snow first hand. Here's a few pictures. So, aside from staying dry not much going on here. Lindsey's back at school, and Westley and I are back to our everyday battle with laundry, dishes, and dust. I hope everyone is well.

Yesterday was good

Yesterday was Jason and my Brithday. We had a good time, sleeping in, and playing Wii over at my in-laws. We had a good dinner, and then Lindsey stayed the night at the in-laws, so it was easier on Jason and I. Westley went to bed early, so we watched a few movies together, which was nice.
So it was a nice Brithday.

Thanks to everyone for calling. We love and miss you all.
