New Job!

Today was my first day at my new job! I am a teacher's assistant at a private preschool called Primrose. It was so much fun and I'm really excited! I trained this morning and went and got my fingerprints and then after lunch with my awesome hubby and I worked in the young toddler's room for the rest of the day until I got off at six. I don't know with which age I'll be working with for sure but it doesn't really matter to me. It's going to be such a good job for me and for us. I'll have paid holidays, 11 days paid vacation, and we will finally be able to have insurance again! Plus it's really close, it's takes 10 minutes to get there. The other employees are so nice and friendly and it's what I really want to do. The requirements to be a lead teacher or group leader here in Colorado are so rigid, especially compared to down in St. George. I apply and was accepted to be a lead teacher at 2 different child care facilities down there (neither worked out since back then we were moving around so much.) but here you have to have X amount of college credits and hours of experience in a child care setting. So since I'm not going to be going to school anytime soon, (we need to work on getting Mark through first.) this is great for the time being. So I've finally found the full time job that I've been looking so hard for.

Our Christmas

I know it's late but here are some pictures of our Christmas.

This was our cute table.



Christmas Eve Dinner.

Mark's dad got us this new HD TV.

Haha, as you can tell, Mark made opening presents a blast!



Just me.

We missed home and our families but we had a great and happy Christmas!
