Finally some good luck

So for the past 6 months or so we have had nothing but bad luck. First we screwed over by our apartments because they added on a whole bunch of fees onto our rent. Then we have been dealing with trying to pay hospital bills. Then it started to look up when we finally found our house after months of searching. Then that dissapeared with all the water leaks we have. But now Jake is getting a new job! He applied at ACE Disposal before the Holidays and he went in for two interviews. Then two weeks went by. He called them twice, the first time the guy told nothing had been decided due to the holdidays. So Jake gave it another week and called him back, no answer. Then Jake dropped his phone in a puddle and ruined it. So I decided to change his message to say that if they would like to reach him to call me. Thank goodness I did! Then next day after I changed it, the guy called and said he would like to offer him the job at $12/hr! Thats a dollar raise, and good benefits all around. We are so excited! His job now sucks so bad. He is treated like dirt and they pay him crap. They don't pay for holidays and their health benefits are so expensive! So now maybe we'll have a little extra money to spend on fixing the house.

Now for Cambry. She is now 6 1/2 months old. I started her on some carrots about a week ago and she liked it. Now she is going to get sweet potatoes this week. Its so much fun feeding her veggies! She is starting to learn how to drink from a cup. She thinks its so much fun! Her favorite though is to drink from a water bottle. She loves water. She is learning to wave. She'll just be sitting there and start waving her hand. She waved good bye to me on Saturday. She wouldn't do it while I was there but as soon as I got out to my car I saw her waving to me! It made me almmost cry! And she has this new thing with sticking her tongue out all the time. Its so cute. I can't believe how fast she is growing! I miss my newborn that weighed 7 lbs. Ah oh well I still love her. Now she can laugh and play with me. She is about due for her next shots so we'll see how much she's grown!
