Whirlwind

I got a job! Yep, after worrying and crying and feeling sick over the thought of not having a job Heavenly Father has blessed Dj and I and given me a job. I had an interview on Wednesday last week and they told me that I would hear back either Mon/Tues. I got a call around 330 on Thursday afternoon with a job offer to start next Wednesday 9/14. So I'm not a screamer, I don't get excited and spaz out like a lot of other girls I've seen. But let me tell you, I was running back and forth from the bathroom to the kitchen squealing and dancing in a way I've never done before (not even when I got engaged btw).

I don't know why Heavenly Father has decided to rescue us from this trial so quickly, I don't know why things have worked out the way that they have but I'm unimaginably grateful. I have felt that cold bone chilling fear that many men have when they come to grips that they might not be able to provide for their family. Sure we have savings but to have that mental flash into the future and seeing us struggling because I haven't been able to find work was terrifying to me. I know that I am more to Dj than just a paycheck but I take the role of being a the primary source of income at the moment very seriously and as much as I'd love to not have to work 40 hours a week I know that that is the weight I need to carry at the moment. We have been blessed beyond comprehension these past few days, I'm only going to be out of work 2 whole days. I'll be working 8-5 M-F, I'll have the chance to get ins benefits, 401K, paid time off, holiday pay (after 90 days of course), at a place that is a similar to the job I had that I can succeed but different enough so that I can learn some valuable new things. I'll be working at Pacific Coast Pharmacy, I'll be dealing with customers on the phone and doctor's offices to make sure prescriptions are filled correctly and that the patients have everything they need.


So there you have that. Now I promised pictures and even though I put them on facebook already I wanted to add them to my blog!
This weekend we got together with the Applins and the Turners to celebrate Dj's 25th birthday! We had a tri tip bbq with all the fixings and it was amazing! Thankfully the Applins have access to an awesome bbq. It was tons of fun and we were introduced the game Boxers and Briefs, it's like Apples to Apples only funner.

Here is Dj blowing out the candles on his cupcakes. Doesn't he look excited?

So I asked Dj what kind of dessert he wanted for his bday, he said cupcakes. When I asked what kind he refused to tell me (and I asked like 20 times) So I told him fine! I'm choosing the cupcake then and you're going to like it! Obviously, I chose Oreo.

I've officially found Kylie Waldron's version of crack. It's these cupcakes. They were ridiculously easy too, the hardest part being crushing up the Oreos for the frosting, which was made with flour and granulated sugar instead of powdered. Delicious! I may never go back.

He looks sad but that's only because his main present hasn't come in the mail yet. I got him a book (which I gave to him early because it was the last one of a series he's been reading and he really wanted to start it) and then a dvd set of Shrek 1-3 (we have 4 already) and it's somewhere between NY and SLO right now.

 

 

I also tried my hand at some Brazilian dishes for a special dinner for him yesterday and let's just say it wasn't really a success. I'll try again another time. So tonight we'll take it easy and open our last bottle of Sparkling Cider left over from our wedding. We have a lot to be grateful and joyful about right now and I'm so thankful for all the prayers that have been sent our way.

 

Lots of love from Kylie
