Free Time

Things are still going well over here in the now frigid state of WA. I have traded in my flip flops for boots and the one pair of closed toe shoes I own and my shorts and t-shirts for sweat shirts and jeans. I actually REALLY like it. It's nice to turn on the heater for the first time in over a year in our car and to snuggle up to Cameron at night instead of pushing him off me because we're sticking to each other . Sorry, that might have been a little too much info. Oh well.
I have found that since living here I have a lot of free time. The girls are content playing with aunts and uncle (there's only one) the whole day. I actually feel quite useless lately, but the girls are having a blast and so that's okay. So in my new found uselessness I have decided to start my sewing machine back up. I'm super interested in making dresses and that's what I did (and still doing).You'll have to excuse the image quality. My camera died right before we left California and we haven't replaced it yet. So these are from my phone...Wow, I didn't realize how much the quality sucked. I'll definitely have to get a better picture up in the future, but for now... Anyway, the top is a royal blue color and the bottom is made from a gray suit material. I REALLY like it. I had some troubles in making it (like I couldn't fit my behind in the skirt part) but some quick thinking and a few cuts later all was fixed. Still not "perfect" but it's the best yet. Here is what I'm going to start on next. I have some big ideas. We'll see what happens.
As far as work goes, Cameron is a stud and working hard. Sometimes getting home at midnight or later and heading off to work again at 8AM, working two jobs. He finished his application for the parks department and is suppose to hear from them this week about an initial interview before he gets to take the physical test and get put on the registry, where any hiring parks can contact him for an ACTUAL interview. Phew! It's a long process but hopefully it will turn out to be worth it.
