Week 13

As of yesterday I am officially 13 weeks along. Tuesday night I decided to make dinner for us for the first time in forever. I cooked with one hand over my nose but was successful and made it through!!! We have been living off of pre-made frozen meals that take ten minutes to make so it was really nice to have a meal. I do think that Shawn is most excited out of everyone because he has been the chef of the family. He has been a trooper and hasn't complained one bit about his new chore.

We have been really busy the last several weeks so I haven't had a chance to put an update on. So here is a brief run down of the last several weeks:

1. On black friday, Shawn got kicked out of Walmart for line jumping (to get into the store). A police office grabbed his hood and told him that if he sees him back at that store again that day the he was going to arrest him.

2. Kaylee came to live with us last week. She started school by our house and absolutely loves it! Sunday she said "I wish it were Monday becasue I would be at school right now." She has many friends in our neighborhood that she has known for a long time and they all go there so she has pleanty of friends to play with at all times.

3. Kaylee came home from sehool on friday and said "Jill, can I jump off the neighbors roof?" That is all the detail she gave me! Mom, if you are reading this, does something like this sound familiar at all? Is this De Ja Vu? It seems to me that it is Shawn's mother's curse alive and well.

4. I passed my state real estate exam yesterday. I have been working on this since March of 2007. I will work on it for a little while then something would happen so I would stop for several months. I decided to buckle down and get it over with. I will be official as soon as I turn my papers into the state!

5. Shawn is loving his new job. He has a really neat boss who is easy going. He gets along really well with the crew he works with and has nothing but good things to say. They always send him to the residential projects all by himself because they know he will get it done. His boss likes him becasue he gets things done fast. Shawn found out yesterday that his friend Gavin is going to start with the company soon. He is looking forward to working with him again!

6. Tonight is my last class for the year!! I am really excited because I will get a very much needed three week break!!
