The last week has been busy.. I am not going to blog about it because I dont believe that anything fun and exciting happened..

As for today.. it was our typical Friday.. school, post office, bank, (special trip to JoAnn Fabrics), clean up at home, and then when Joe got home from work I was let out to go have dinner and a drink with Amy! It was SOO nice to sit and talk with a girlfriend! Joe and the kids headed to his parents house around 4:30 so I left at that time as well. I went to the gas station to fill my gas hog of a van and then I went to Chili's with Amy. I got to sit and read into my magazine for 45 or so minutes as I got there early, and then we finally left around 8:30! Talk about awesome! And now our older two kiddos are off at grandma's for a sleepover! *extra nice bonus*

Tomorrow I will be heading to the Chanhassen Community Center for a vendor event / craft show in the morning. Then I will be heading to the Shakopee Fire Station for their open house. I will have the kids while Joe helps to put new shingles on the house here.. Then we will enjoy some awesome smelling enchilladas that Carrie (from MOPS) brought for us! I cannot wait to devour in them! They smell amazing! I wanted to cook em before I left for Chili's so I could eat them as soon as I got home hahahaha!

Oh another thing, Joe has put in two applcations for permanent full time employment! Both with Caterpillar! One job is in Brooklyn Pary (where he has been working as a temp since January) and the other is in Owatonna. Please please please pray that he can get one of theses jobs! We found out today that our health and dental coverage that we have had since Joe lost his job last November will be ending Oct. 31! So landing a permanent full time job is a HUGE thing for us right now! That and Joe would really like to not have the 'temp' title hanging over his head all of the time! It drives him nuts! Our goal is to get into a house and move summer of 2011! So this would just be another big step in getting closer to that goal! So prayers prayers prayers please! :o)

Ahh.. I am off to bed soon now.. Nathan and Joe have crashed in Joe's chair and Miss Lillian has crashed in her bouncy seat so I will get them to bed and follow! G'nite!!
