Happy Memorial Day!

It has been so long since I last updated my blog. First of all I want to thank all of the current and past veterans that have or will sacrifice their lives so that we can have freedom. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have what we have. That is the true meaning of Memorial Day. I have been so busy with my new job that I haven't been on the computer at all. I have been there a month now. I am so exhausted when I get home at night. It's nice to have some peace and quiet when the kids go to bed so that I can relax. I have a lot to learn. I'm on a contract through September, then I will either get on full-time, if they have the funding, or my contract will end and I will go on unemployment until something else comes along. I am in the financial litigation unit of the U.S. Attorney General's Office. It is a very tense office. Money coming in and out all the time. It 's something that I have never done before. It's all new. I'm actually a paralegal specialist, if you will. I see a lot of the crime that goes on that is on the federal side of the government. Like, foreclosure, bankruptcy, delinquent on child support payments, delinquent on student loans, theft, etc. I have seen and done a lot of garnishments of people's wages in just the month that I have been there. Of course, EVERYTHING is VERY confidential, and I can't breathe a word of what I see or hear in the office. It's generally on the news in a couple of days any way. Well enough about the job. Did everyone have a good weekend? We did. It was pretty laid back though. We just relaxed and hung around the house mainly.

I want to say a VERY HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY TO SCOTT AND RACHEL!

Blessings,
Janese

Lucky 7

Well Jason and I shared 7 years of wedded bliss yesterday. I can't believe it has been that long. We are going to have a date night tonight. We are having good friends of ours watch the kids. I am not sure what we are going to do, but I am excited to go on a date with my hubby!!!! He got me a bouquet of flowers. They are beautiful.

Have a great week!

Friends in Christ,
Janese

Is Spring Finally Here?

Today was so beautiful!! I hope everyone's day was as nice as it was here. Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful too, and Friday, the forecast is supposed to be around 80 degrees. Jaron has a soccer game Friday night and Saturday morning. So we should have great weather for both. I have been doing some major spring cleaning. YUCK!!!! The house needed to be cleaned badly. I have 2 rooms left, and then the cleaning will be all done. Then I plan on being outside and enjoying this nice weather. Take a break and soak up the great weather.

Happy Spring,

Janese

Blessings,

Catching Up!

WOW, it has been way too long since I have updated everyone. I have so much on my mind these past few weeks, that I haven't thought much about blogging. My aunt told me other day that she hadn't read a blog in a while, so I figured it was about time that I did.

I am still looking for a job. This is very stressful for me, and I am getting very discouraged. I do have a couple of positions in the works, but don't know for sure if either will pan out. It really SUCKS to have to look for another job. I haven't had to do this now for almost 9 years. You almost forget what to do. I had an interview yesterday, it went very well, but that doesn't mean anything. We'll see!

Check out some of the new pictures that I am posting. Jaron is now done with wrestling, and has started soccer. He got 2 first places this year. We went back to Clarinda a couple of weeks ago, and entered him in the Pee-Wee tournament there. He got first in his bracket. He won all 3 of his matches. I am so proud of my little guy. He isn't little anymore, he is growing up so fast!

Janessa will be 3 in a couple of weeks. I can't believe it! She isn't a little baby anymore, she looks like a little girl now. But she will always be my little baby.

Have a good week!

Until next time....

Janese
