Wow! It's been a long time!!

Hey gang...sorry it's been soo long between posts. Let me tell you a few things that have been happening the past few months.  I got a job in April!! Answer to prayer for us as a family that's for sure. I am now employed at Ahern Rentals here in Las Vegas, where I work as an Inside Sales Representative.  The hours are perfect for me 7:30am-4:00pm Moday thru Friday.  I'll have to admit, getting back into the working jive hasn't been easy after 18 months of not working, but I'm handling it just fine now.  Juggling work, housework, grocery shopping, being a mom, and wife is exhausting at times, but I'm loving our lives right now. I am also a faciliator at our church's women's Bible study which Im just soo excited about.

The end of July and the month of August we brought my mom out for a long visit which was soo awesome to have her here. We did alot of the tourist stuff and took in quite a bit of the sights around Vegas. I'll post pictures when I learn to get them off of my phone and on to the computer. We have a great girl time and just plan lovin' on my mom! While mom was here, Jack & Janeen came down for a visit as well.  Wow what a whirl wind weekend that was!! BINGO, yard salin', swap meet and shoppin'!  What more could a girl ask for?

Katie started her Junior year at Centennial High School and she's doin' great!  This past summer was a busy one for her.  She went a Youth retreat to CA for the weekend, and then was home for a few days and went and spent the week in St. George with one of her besties.  After that, her bestie came down here and spent the week with us, which was just awesome!  Then one week later, Katie packed up her bags again and spent a week and a half in CA and AZ visiting her family and friends....then school started.  We were all glad to have the "normalcy" back into our lives. If there is such a thing!!

Orie is doin' great as usual. He found on this past Monday, that he will be getting "promoted" to a new area at Shift 4.  He's been with the company for three years now, and being management in the support department.  He is now moving over to advanced installations which he's been wanting to do in a long time.  He is soo excited for the move which should be happening in the next few weeks. I am soo proud of him, he's such a good provider for us. He and Katie are going to Christian Basics classes together on Tuesday night at church.  A good learning tool for Katie, and a good refresher for Orie.

Well,  I've pretty much shared everything that been going on in our lives here in sunny Las Vegas. Once I can get my pictures off of my camera, I'll be back in full force!

Love to all,

Cyndi
