WOW! Is all I can say! I finally did it! I launched my own Etsy shop and started to sell some of my hats. I am actually doing pretty well! With a bit of help from my friends on BBC I have 10 hats to make in the next week! OMG how am I ever going to get them done?! Its nice though to have something to do! I also started a Facebook page for my stuff and I am really hoping to get a bunch of business from there, or at least get my name out there! I have a bunch of stuff I would love to do, like give aways, Hats of the Week, a collaberation with my great friend Christina of GiaCocco Designs of her gorgeous hand made flowers! Soo much, so lets hope this venture works out for me!
The other WOW factor of this week is an old friend contacted me out of the blue...TISH! I was actually totaly happy to hear from her and we had a nice chat! We have talked every day since then and she is actually coming over here tomorrow to stay for a few days while her mom is in Seattle. I am pretty excited! I have really missed her as a friend and I am glad she didnt hold it against me when I was not being such a great friend. I guess we all have our reasons and make mistakes, what else is forgiveness for?
Anyways, I cant stay long, I need to get hot on these hats while the girls are sleeping! Check out my stuff at www.etsy.com/shop/kristadenae and visit me on FB at La La Larue Yarn Designs!

Snow!
So the last couple of days we have been getting slammed with winter storm warnings, and of course since its been fairly nice here we figured the weather man was overeacting again. However, we were wrong! It started snowing here around 7 and so far, it hasn't stopped. We have 4 inches and its still coming down! Thank god I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow, there is going to be waaayy to many wrecks because people here don't know how to drive. Anyways, not my idea of a great day but I get to stay inside :o)

An Answered Prayer
ANDY GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!
I am beyond thrilled! He will be working for Aerotech, which is a company that is government contracted to work on the subs and ships. Right now it is a temporary position for 8 to 9 months with the option to reapply for any available position after that. Pay will start at $17 an hour and go up to $25 after three months. Thats about all we know for now but thats excellent news for us. I have been praying my rear end off and I guess this means someone was listening. I will update when I know more.
In other news I have two sick kiddos :o( Riley woke up with a cold and of course Dylan has it too. Both of them were rotten and grouchy all day. I am exhausted from no sleep last night, I have no idea how I am even still awake.....I do need to try and sleep, my house is a wreck and needs to be cleaned, plus tomorrow night I am sure I wont get any sleep. I have to take Dylan in first thing Monday for an ultrasound on her stomach. For the last month she has been puking up tons after she eats and nothing was working that I could do so I took her in to the dr who gave me meds for Reflux. The meds seemed to work for the first couple of days and then stopped. I took her back in and we scheduled the u/s and got her on stronger meds for the Reflux. So far these meds seem to be working but the dr. wants to rule out something called Pyloric Stenosis. I guess this is something that is very rare in girls so I am praying she doesnt have it. If you want an explanation on what PS is Google it, I am way to tired to explain, its nothing that serious though so dont worry.
Anyways, I am pretty tired and so I am going to sign off for now. I will update more as I find out more. Good night!

Good News?
So its after 3 in the morning and I am sitting here, well, laying here in bed listening to Riley snore(she is sick) and the baby breathe. Andy slept dow stairs because with Riley in the bed there isnt much room and he cant sleep. He felt bad for her since she was in her bed crying because she didnt feel well so he tucked her into his spot and went downstairs. What a great guy huh? So to the point of this late night blog.....I cant sleep, and not just because the kid is snoring but because I am soooo hopeful that a place called Aerotech calls Andy back tomorrow and gives him the job he interviewed for today! Its a government contracted job working on the subs doing various things so its perfect for him. I guess they pretty much told him the job was his if he still has his clearances to get on the base. The good is more pay, less hours, and benefits. The bad is the job is only contracted for 9 months, when its done he will have to re apply for another job with the company, and he will have to do this every 9 months. He is super excited about it and is just as anxious as I am to hear back. Lets all pray for good news! We need some good news right now.

Ready for the New Year!
Things calmed down for a bit this summer and into fall.
November 11, 2010 we welcomed Dylan into our family, life is wonderful!
Now December has come and almost gone and soon it will be January and the New Year. We will start all over again with birthdays and anniversaries and life will go on. So many wonderful things have happened to us its hard to even think of the few small bad things that have taken place. Our family has its health, and we are happy. We were fortunate enough to not have anyone in our families seriously injured or taken ill this past year and we hope and pray it will continue through to next year. We had some wonderful visits from family and made some great memories too! All in all I am so thankful for 2010, but I cant wait to see what 2011 has in store for us!

Christmas
THANK GOD ITS OVER!!!
Ok wow, glad I got that out! I am just so thankful that Christmas is over, I will be even happier when January is over and all the holidays and the birthdays and anniversary is over as well. All the stress will be gone from them and it will be on to new stresses. Christmas did go pretty well. Riley had a great time and was super spoiled as usual. I was totaly shocked on Christmas Eve to get package after package from Andy's dad, mom, and sister! It was really nice that Lorrie made an effort and actually thought of us. Mindy too. It made both Andy and I feel better. Andy called and talked to both of them on Christmas which I think made them happy. Hopefully we can keep working on those relationships. Anyways, it was a pretty good day, however I have decided to purchase a new camera. That was the worst part of the day, I took a ton of pictures of Christmas and guess what? 1 flippin picture turned out and it was of Dylan laying on Andys lap! All the rest were crappy and fuzzy and it pissed me off. So now I have decided to save up a bit and purchase a really good one like I wanted to do in the first place. Anyways.....I am sitting here looking around at all the christmas crap that is up still and its driving me nuts! I really want to get it taken down, and now! Andy is working all week so I will have to wait a bit but its happening soon. I should go, I got up super early so I could shower and have some "me" time. Both the girls are still asleep in my bed. Its pretty nice to have some quiet time actually. I need to check on the baby though, if she makes it 15 more minutes she will have slept for 11 hours! I am so lucky!
