How will you thaw your turkey?

I don't know how I could have missed this! Amy Poehler is my hero! I mean, seriously, she got all up in the business and she's pregnant! Actually she just had her baby boy, but I gotta hand it to her. I've watched this six times and I still love it!

The next phase....

For those of you who know us, you know Sean has been job-hunting since leaving his previous employer. Well....he was offered a great job today and has accepted. This is such great news as jobs are somewhat scarce these days. He will be implementing and then managing a call center for an internet company that is the seventh fastest growing internet-based business in the U.S. We are so happy and so grateful to our Heavenly Father! We are also grateful for all the prayers and support from friends and family. This has been a stressful yet rewarding exercise in faith. It is somewhat bittersweet, however, as we will be moving to Gilbert, AZ. Now begins the challenge of selling our home and buying a new one, yikes. This is just the next phase of our family's journey and we are excited! Thanks again for everyone's support and prayers.

Top Ten things......
