Change of Plans

So... you know how I said a while back that we were moving to Arlington where Steve was going to start a new job mid May?

Weeeelllllll.... That job was contracting with GM who, as you should know by now, is experiencing some difficulties. Plants are closing and bankruptcy... GM is in the crapper. A week or so after we accepted the offer (but before we actually started) the GM plant in Arlington announced that, rather than shutting down for the normal two weeks in the summer to get ready for the new line of 2010 vehicles... they would be shutting down for 9 weeks!!!

Ummmm.... so are we moving from one closed plant to another just to find ourselves in the same boat we're in now, six months from now?!?

So, before Steve actually started this GM job, we got another job offer from this company called Tetra Tech which contracts engineers to do various jobs all over our great country. This job was based in Abliene, TX (West Texas) at Dyess Air Force Base.

Well, we ended up taking this job instead. We felt it was a better choice for us.

Surprise!!!

My Secret Crush

Steve and I went to see the new X-Men movie tonight.

I am afraid that it really wouldn't have mattered whether the movie was good or bad, I just enjoyed watching it because Hugh Jackman was in it.

It seems I have a bit of a crush on him.

I liked the movie. It wasn't my favorite X-Men movie, but I still enjoyed it and didn't feel like it was a waste of time.

And I really enjoyed getting to spend the evening with my wonderful husband. We went out to eat and then to the movie with just Jessica and it was GREAT!

Look Deep Into My Eyes...

Steve took some pictures of Jessica today.

Just thought I would share them.

Kristen, I see what you and Craig meant about spending all of you time just sitting and looking at them. I had forgotten how mesmerizing brand new babies could be!

Cutie Pie!

I was having fun taking TONS of pictures of Jessica today and I just thought that I would share them with you!

She's just soooo stinkin' cute!

Jessica's Newborn Picture

Here is the picture the hospital took of Jessica.

I guess they couldn't get her to open her eyes for it.

Oh, and I guess they couldn't get her arm all the way through her outfit either! (hee hee)

If you want to see a bigger picture click here. It will take you to the hospital website. Click on "Virtual Newborn Nursery" and then enter her birthdate, 04/14/2009. You'll get to see all of the babies that were born that day. Apparently it was the day set aside for redheads to be born!

Too bad we didn't know that, we could have scheduled Steve's trip on a different day!
