So.... We got the call yesterday that we have been waiting for! When Mike called me I couldn't tell he had received any news because there was no change in his demener. But... They want us! Well Mike that is!!! He was their first choice and they offered him the job in SLC!!! YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!Not that we had to wait a super long time but man the wait just makes you second guess yourself and the opportunity you know!!! I was so happy and excited and proud of Mike. He didn't seem all that thrilled like I thought he would have but he explained that he was at work in his office and most of his co workers still have no clue so he had to keep it on the down low!
He will officially accept the offer today when they get back to him with his moving expense package and hopefully a time line. His boss here ideally would like him to stay till the end of Aug. WHAT!!!!! I hope they can get that date moved up a little... But I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world to be here that long. I would get as much time with baby Emmy as I could!!! That's a huge plus.Hopefully we'll know more today or by the tomorrow!
so watch out Utah...here comes trouble!

I have to admit...
- I love watching Little house on the Prairie! Call me nostalgic but I just love it. About a month ago I found it on TV land channel and now tape it!!! I love Albert!
- I can eat a dozen Otter Pops in one day if I let myself. My favorite flavor is Strawberry Short Kook!
- I'd sleep in every day if my kids let me!
- I have a phobia of food in a bathroom!
- I bite my nails!
- I ate half an Angel Food cake in two sittings!
- The bottom of my closet looks like a disaster zone!
- This is like the third month I was late paying rent on time...So absent minded!
- I sleep with a favorite blanket I call Hunter who is slowly falling apart and it breaks my heart!
- I write in a journal
- I haven't read a book in month.. oops!! one more goal I am slipping on!
- I have no idea what I'm making for dinner!
- I can't eat eggs without catchup!
- i am an HGTV addict!
- I could spend hours on the internet if I didn't let the guilt of not getting any house work or playing with kids get to me!
- I am struggling with my oh so simple calling of writing a monthly ward newsletter. so pathetic I know but no one gives me any info for the darn thing so I end up writing fluff every month! So lame!

So Much to talk about...Where do I begin!
SLC...
First and for most... Still no word back yet! Mike had a great interview yesterday and really had a great time meeting all the guys in the office. He feels like he could really mesh with all of them. They did say they were interviewing another girl who had more experiance so if more experiance is what they are looking fo she's got a one up on him! We just have to wait! He did say he would call today but who knows if it's to offer a job, say no thanks or tell us they still need more time!
Last night...
OK...So I was so in the mood for something treat like last night! I never have anything in the house when this happens!!! ARG!!! I was aching for some banana cookies that my friend makes . NOTHING! I finally got creative and had to remedy the situation fast! I did have vanilla pudding snack packs and Laurna Doone cookies which was a total out of the ordinary treat so I sliced up some banana and made a mini banana cream pie indulgent! I had Boo over and we totally scarfed it all down! soooo yummy!
Let there be ribbon...
So if any of you ever find yourself on a pilgrimage in search of ribbon, set your GPS to this place!!! Fabric Barn in Long Beach, CA is the place to stock up on wholesale ribbon! Boo, Megan ( Scrambledmegs) and I went hog wild in this spool super store. It's a place we have been going to since we were knee high to a grass hopper!
They sell ribbon by the spool or by the yard. everything I got was either 5yd. for a $1 or 10 yd. for a $1!!! I use it for crafting and the girls were stocking up on baby bow supplies. I could do some serious damage there but only managed to spend $12 ... humm? What was wrong with me? The majority of the store is wall to wall ribbon...They should really change their name to Ribbon Barn. The funny thing is they only have like 50 bolts of fabric for sale!
Hair cut...
Yesterday I got my hair cut. Boo treated me to a cut for my birthday!Thanks Sister!!! I am still getting used to it. She totally thinned me out in the back and I have major layers. My sister really likes it and Mike liked the way it was styled yesterday. I tried to style it today and I totally looked like FRIENDS 1994 so back it went into a ponytail...a tiny ponytail at that! I'll be taking my vitamins and praying for long hair again! I know I am a hopeless long hair wantabe! I did need it cut. I am still trying to grow out all the damage I caused when I fried my hair! I know by next week I'll love it! I just have to get used to it!
Mike said to me this morning that I was ready to move to UT... I already had the Utah hair!!!
Scrambled Megs Baby gift...
Here are a few pictures of the activity blanket I made for my future niece! After sweing it I just added tabs so you can attach toys to the blanket and it becomes a play mat. I had a lot of fun making it and it will probably become my go to gift now. I think it's so cute and useful. When toys aren't attached it a great blanket still!
Macy...I finally figured it out!
I've never really thought my kids look a lot like us and it hit me yesterday who I think Macy looks like... She looks like Rachel Ray!!! I was watching E True Hollywood Story on her yesterday and so many pictures look just like her! What do you think...
