Attempt at being creative

So this is my attempt at being creative and making Kyndall a cute outfit for Christmas pictures.

Here is a close up of the shirt.

Here's the tutu.

And here is the whole outfit. I will get more pictures once I get it on her!

(I stole this idea from MckMama. Normally, this will just be a picture and no words, hence the title Wordless Wednesdays)

God Answers Prayers

So as some of you know, today was my last day at Super 1.

I have been looking for a new job that would allow me to work M-F and have set hours that would allow me to pick Kyndall up from daycare. Well, this isn't a permanent job, but it is something that will bring in some income.

One of the teacher's at Kyndall's daycare is going on maternity leave pretty soon, and I am going to be the sub in that room until the normal teacher returns. It will be M-F 11-6. I won't be making as much per hour as I was at Super 1, but I am working more hours. Also, and this is the biggest blessing- Kyndall gets to go for FREE while I am working there. That means we get to "pocket" and extra $435 a month while I am there. Also, another blessing- since I will be working there through the holidays and into the new year probably, means that on days that they daycare is closed for the holidays, I don't have to worry about either finding a sitter or asking off.

This will allow me more time to look for something more concrete without stressing about living on one income.

Well, my creative juices were flowing tonight, and I made Kyndall a tutu for Christmas pictures. It turned out kinda cute! I learned how to make it by looking at this website. It was super easy! If you know how to tie knots, then you can do this! I am going to make one for a friend of mine's little one as well. I am also going to try to make a cute little shirt to go with the tutu by gluing a piece of ribbon onto the front of a onesie. I am going to have another friend make a bow using the same ribbon. (You can find her bows and things here.)

Introducing: Picture Me Mondays

Kyndall: 5 days old. We were going to see G-Gma, Aunt Cindy, and Uncle Chuck for the first time. We also had a couple of other aunts and cousins come over to meet the newest addition to the family! I LOVE this outfit. Chad also really likes this shirt. Too bad she can't wear it anymore, and we don't have it in a bigger size. :(

Bittersweet Symphony

Well, this is my last week at work. I have 7 hours left until I am not longer employed.

I was thinking tonight, while I was at work, that this is a bittersweet time in my life. I am excited about moving on and seeing what God has in store for me and what doors will be opened. However, I am scared because I don't know how long Chad and I can make it on his paycheck alone. Hopefully it won't take forever before I find a new job, one that I will be good at and enjoy.

Things that I won't miss about my job:
1) Rude customers
2) Customers who can't count or read the sign above the express lane stating "About 12 items or LESS"
3) People who think they are better than everyone else
4) Annoying opera music

Things I will miss about my job:
1) Customers whom I have gotten to know on a first name basis, know whats happening and are praying
2) A few key co-workers whom I have grown to love within the last 17 months
3) A steady income. (Hopefully this one won't last long, and I find a new job soon)

What do you not miss and/or miss about your old job? How long did it take you to find a new one?

Please continue to pray that God will open the door to a new job soon. Thanks!
