What I have been up to lately

My mother-in-law was in town last week and the week before to help Rachel (my sister-in-law) out during her pregnancy (Its been ruff to say the least). I was able to spend some quality time with her and Rachel, and it was great. We went on a shopping trip to Kohls and got lunch at Panera one of the days, and hung out all afternoon with Jared and Cameron(nephews) a different day. This included a nice walk down to Cameron's secret spot (a creek where he likes to build a bridge and cross to the other side). It SO green here in Texas, and I just LOVE looking at all the trees and bright green grass. Adam and I hung out over at Rachel's house a few nights and had yummy home cooked meals compliments of Sheila (my mother-in-law). We also watched the Sunday sessions of conference over there. Its so nice to have family here in Texas. It's been so fun to get to know Adam's family better. I just LOVE all y'all! he he

Vampire Diaries started back up :) Memory, Gina, and I watched last weeks episode together.

I started looking for jobs at the end of last week. I had an interview Monday(seems promising and I loved everything about the job, and loved the people I could potentially work for), and I also had an interview today. Both for a chiropractic office. I interviewed for their chiropractic assistant position. One of the offices listed that they were having open interviews Thursday in the afternoon starting at 12:45. I showed up at 12:45 and there were like 50 people filling out applications. There was no way any interviewing was taking place that day. I almost walked out, because there was not place to sit and almost no place to stand. There was a girl wearing the exact same outfit as me, and she even kinda looked like me. Kinda weird. People just kept coming and leaving. Who knows how many people ended up applying, because they had open interviews later that evening as well. Needless to say, I was shocked when they called me in today for an interview and said they had narrowed it down to six people, and  that I was one of them. I am not getting my hopes up by thinking I will get either job, but was just excited to be considered. Its nice to know people want me! The first two jobs I applied for gave me an interview. Not too shabby. Should hear back from the first office by the end of this week. The other office said the end of next week. Back to looking again if it doesn't work out, but it was definitely worth my time. I meet some wonderful people, and learned some questions to consider for my next interview. Can I just say that my least favorite question is, "Tell me about yourself!" Maybe its because I don't like to talk about myself in a way that states, "Hey look at me I am so great!" I did fine, but man that question gets me everytime.
