In other news...

I have been applying for every job I can find that I am remotely qualified for. Recently, I applied for two positions that I am most interested. One is a web designer position for a safety supply company. The other is for a marcom specialist with another national company that is more engineering. BOTH would be awesome jobs to have. The marcom specialist posting ends March 2 and so I won't hear from them until after that. I did receive an email from the head of marketing that they will be contacting me after that date. The other I have already had my first initial interview with HR. I received a call from the VP of marketing about a second interview and that is scheduled for Feb. 28. I am excited and nervous but boy getting either of these jobs would really help us out.

Brian's work situation has been a little different. After moving us up here, the company he works for decided to lay off most of the workforce in this location. Luckily, his boss knew of an opportunity working with a customer on-site but he would be transferring to another branch. He found himself in a mess as the previous guy left it in disarray. He is not happy plus the job is much farther away than he wanted to drive. So he has been looking knowing that there is no guarantee that they will keep him at this new position. He has an interview for QE job on Wednesday. I am so praying that he gets it cause the job sounds like he might be doing something he wants to do and the 20K more pay per year doesn't hurt either.

Sooo those of you who read this now and again... please pray for us! Thanks!

DPNs conquered!

I decided to try and make a coffee cozy using DPNs and see how it goes. The first one I tried was way too complicated of a pattern so I switched to a pattern that I did not need to watch a chart to do. The result was a cute and fully functional coffee cozy and I am so proud of myself! :D

The thing about using DPNs is that you have needles in the way. Once you get the hang of it though, it goes smoothly. Next up... SOCKS!
