job//blessings/new years

So..my phone rang this morning at 9:12am. Well, we had a rough night with Jeriah...so we were all sleeping still. So I get my phone and listen to the message and it was...how do i explain this. I go to these classes that are for parents..you go and get points and then you get stuff for free when you've earned the point value of the item. (I got a 4 in 1 crib FREE!!) Anyways, the lady in charge of the program asked me to come work for her. I will work once a week on Wednesday from 5-8pm. I get to help in the daycare which will be nice since I can bring Jeriah with me to work! I'm excited, it will ba an extra little income for us to pay LOVELY bills with.
We had a humbling experience Christmas Eve. We were playing games and it was like 10pm, then someone rang our doorbell like 5 times. So we go to answer the door and no one is there..then we look down and there is a HUGE basket of food...bananas, baby formula, baby food, yeast, pasta, a $25 dollar gift card to Texas Roadhouse, flour, sugar, ice cream bars...all sorts of stuff!! I've never had anyone do that for us before. And the fact that someone just thought of us. The really cool thing was that we just used our last can of formula...and amazingly enough...they gave us some formula. What a blessing.
We are excited for tonight. My dad, his wife and Natalie are coming up to go to the New Years Eve party and the ISU sub building. YEAH..I will let you know how it goes.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

That is really neat about the fruit basket that got left on your door. We did that one year to a family in our ward who ahd jus lost their job. It is fun to be on the giving or the receiving end.

I want to go and PARTY with you guys tonight. Dang it. I'm stuck at home. Oh well, I'm going to Wal-Mart.
