Ready...set..go!

I got a job! Office Assistant to cover a maternity leave, and then customer service - And it has SO much potential! I'm really excited. I had an interview this morning: yesterday I got a call that said to come anytime between 9am and 3pm tomorrow (which is now today) or Monday for a 10-15 minute interview. I decided to make a somewhat early appearance for good impression, and I was the second interview of the day. Bob (my new boss) interviewed me, and in less than 10 minutes was offering me the job. He was very flattering! He told me he knew he liked me 10 seconds after meeting me, and that they hire hearts, not skills or just people, but hearts and he thinks I have it! :::aw, gosh::: They had to turn away the next couple interviews, and were preparing to call all the other potentials to tell them the position is filled! I really like him, and quickly learned that I liked the other employees as well after a quick tour. Great pay, and great benefits - more than I was even hoping for.
It's a some-what small business, but a profitable and growing one. It is called Preferred Paper Products and is a company that does packaging: bubblewrap, tape, boxes, custom packaging, etc for businesses in northern Colorado. The people were awesome, family oriented...they have High Tea randomly (today was one of those days) where they all sit and have fancy cookies and drinks and chat (NOT about work!). I think I will fit in just fine.

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
