Im going to copy Carlys blog this week and just add little updates about us since I don't have anything to rant about lately :o)
It looks like Jake will be receiving the cost of living raise he was promised afterall. The governor backpeddled and decided it would not be fair to the state employees and teachers in such difficult times.... So instead he cut textbooks funds and 4% operating costs in each department. I could write an entire blog posting about this, but don't have the energy to devote to that. Just remind me to vote for whatever Democrat is running against him during the next state election.
The kids and I have been spending a lot of time at the water park and lake. Last week they were in a city sponsored camp. It was $45/week from 7am-6pm and that INCLUDED breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as swimming, roller skating and bowling. Wow! Megan, being easily intimidated, was scared on the first day. She said that she wished that Jacob was her older brother instead of her younger brother, so that he could protect her. Jacob then responded with, "Megan, I can pretend to be your older brother". By the end of the week, Megan was asking if I would sign her up again.
The fires in N. Cal have pretty much ruined things for us in Reno. The air quality is horrible and you can barely be outside. We were supposed to go camping, but we had to reschedule due to the harsh air.
I went for an interview for the perfect PT job (well, not perfect, but close enough). It was for an HR position and the hours were from 9-3 (school hours). I left feeling pretty good about the interview, but was disappointed when I didnt hear back within the week. The lady finally called me the other day and said that they thought I was wonderful and that they were ready to offer me the job, but the company instituted a hiring freeze. ARRRRGGGHHH!
Megan is going on a flight all by herself. I am flying her down to spend a week with Jakes parents. Its a nonstop flight, so she should be ok, but of course Im a little nervous. I think itll be good for her though. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents, and as a result I am very close to them.
Below is a picture of Jake and I at Lake Tahoe yesterday. I have to say that we look way better now than we did when we were first married!
Sounds you guys are having a fun summer so far- other than the poor air quality from the fire. Sorry you had to miss your camping trip. It's nice that you guys have Lake Tahoe close by, it's almost like the beach right? I hope Megan has fun with Granny. I know Mom was excited about it.
