Blessings Galore!

So many wonderful things have been happening to and for us lately that I don't even know where to start. The latest event was the sale of Scott's car. We posted it to www.craigslist.com (if you aren't familiar, you should get acquainted) this morning around 10:00 and I just got back from finalizing the sale! Scott parked it at the curb of The Vitamin Shoppe along a very busy street and it got many lookers today. But, the final buyers had seen it on Craigs List. You can buy and sell so many things on there. I even found my current job on Craigs List. It is huge here in Dallas/Fort Worth. This car thing was even better then the couch I sold in one day when we got married and condensed our furniture! You can find some great deals, but you have to be willing to go and pick the items up.

I am sure you are wondering why we sold Scott's car...well let me tell you. It is because we inherited his Memaw's car upon her passing this past April. Scott's dad just picked it up from Arkansas for us over July 4th weekend. It is a 1998 Buick LeSabre with about 20,000 miles on it. I'll take it! It will make a good family car for the future. For now, Scott can drive it to and from work. I wonder the gas mileage on that thing????

Still no word on Scott's job, but he has two applications in that are still in the running. One at TCU (Texas Christian University) and one at Texas Wesleyan University (his alma mater). TCU is literally 2 minutes from our house. I joked with him that if he gets that job he could get a bike and we could go down to one car! He didn't think that was a good idea. I still want to get bikes anyway, but back on subject. So, the job at TCU is for the Coordinator for Athletics Compliance. Not sure he is qualified, but he gave it a shot. TWU is hiring a Coordinator for Student Activities and Volunteerism. I think he has a good shot at it because he knows people who know people. That position will be filled closer to school starting. They are being picky on who they hire because the last gal got fired for stealing money....crazy!!! We are just waiting to hear.

I won't go into too many details about my job, but let's just say that I am looking for another one already. More on that to come.

I finally just had to break down and the pest control come today. I know, I know, I can't imagine what I am breathing, but it was getting out of control. I tried every natural product in the book to get rid of the roaches, then I bought poison traps and set them out. I think they all got together and laughed and laid more eggs after my attempts to rid of them. The other night I got home from work and jumped in the shower. I look up and crawling on the wall......well needless to say, I squealed again and jumped out of the shower and called Scott. He was on his way home from work. He came home and took care of it and I took my shower. Today the guy sprayed inside the house. He was going to bomb under the house, but the four or five kittens that have taken up residence in the crawl space were too scared to come out. The pest guy said if he sprayed under there that it would kill the kitties. So he didn't and I spent the next hour trying to find out who I need to call to have come and take these poor baby kittens away. I didn't get anywhere, but I will look harder tomorrow. Surely, the humane society can take them away. I just feel sad for them. They are so malnourished ans scared to death of us.

We are making plans to go to Arkansas after baby Joely is born. Can't wait!!!

Other than that, it is hot, hot, hot outside. I think I could roast a marshmallow in the sun sitting on my front porch!
