I am still working at Wingers and next week I'm also starting a part time job at Key Bank (as long as I pass the background check). Having two part time jobs is going to kick my butt but it will all be worth it. Jake is doing well in school so far. His Precalculus class is giving him a hard time but he is so smart that I know he'll be fine.
I'm getting the question, "How do like being back in Idaho" a lot lately. I guess my answer is, it's OK. It's weird to go to town and see people I actually know. I've realized I have a lot of fair-weathered friends also. People who used to always tell me how exciting it would be when I finally moved back but now I never hear from them. It's weird having actual friends and family around again, I always feel stressed that I need to make everyone happy, but on the other hand they don't give me the time of day when I do see them. I hate constantly wondering "did I do something to hurt their feelings?!?!" or "why is she mad at me?!?!" Sometimes I miss it just being me and Jake and the kids. This new life will just take some getting used to, and maybe I shouldn't expect so much from "friends". Anyways that's my rant for the month :)
Catching one of his half grins.
We had a sleep-over with the older girl cousins. I hope they all had fun. Grandma had to buy them all matching jammies and then we watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which is actually a really funny and cute movie!
Looking so cute on his tummy.

You've had some big changes in your life this past year! I hope you get the job and that you can make it all work out for your family. It's hard, but I know it's possible too. What is up with your kid's heads? Totally kidding! I think they are both SO cute!
Ya, Annie I've had some issues with this recently (even the big heads ... haha) and I finally came to the conclusion that I had to do my part as well if I wanted to feel like my friends were really my friends. I've had to make my effort too and realize they didn't hate me or stop liking me, I just wasn't doing my part.
Huh I never thought of all the home town drama that would come back. But being near family has to make up for that right? Well I hope so at least. Well glad the kids are on the mend. They sure are cute! Tell Jake good luck with school from us. Oh and I hope you like working for the bank...I always did.
ahhh! i hope you're doing well with working 2 part time jobs! thats got to be exhasuting. im sure you miss your kids when you're gone...who is watching them?
