Here's the Plan

I think everyone knows by now but if you don't...We're moving! This shouldn't really shock any of you who know us. Cameron has been offered a job at the school that he did his seaplane training. It's in (drum roll please) Bullhead City, AZ! Where is this place you ask? Right on the Colorado River, across from Laughlin, NV, approx. 2 hours south of Vegas. Still don't know where? Lucky for you there's a map provided. So here's the deal. We're getting our moving truck on Wednesday of next week and loading that same day. Fortunately, we didn't unpack even a quarter of our stuff when we moved here so all that should be fairly simple. THEN we do Thanksgiving. This year it's EVERYONE all together. I mean EVERYONE! My family and Cameron's. It should be fun. We spend one more day with my family and then Saturday we're off. Travel Saturday and Sunday and move in to our new apt on Monday. Cameron will start work the next day.
If all goes well, this job will give him 1500 hours by the start of summer. If that happens then he can pretty much apply to whatever job he wants. That would be pretty amazing. So that's why we are going back on our previous statement (meaning MY statement) that we would never again leave the state of WA. This seems like too much of a good thing to pass it by. So another move it is.
Here are some pictures of our new town.

'Tis the Season

Now that Halloween is officially over (and we're stuck with the left over candy) Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner.
A few weeks ago I went to a class that was all on preparing early for Christmas. Now, I know what some of you may be thinking because I thought the SAME THING. Seriously? Plan early for Christmas? They already have decorations out in the store before Halloween! How much earlier can we get? Well, the girl who taught this class knows what she's talking about. After hearing all the suggestions that she had I am convinced that we should prepare early for the Holidays. She made up a list of all the suggestions and I want to share that with you. Sorry about the size and the format of the post. I wanted to share the ideas with you but I really didn't want to type it all out :) 

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.
