Things are happening!

Well, a lot of exciting things have been happening around here in the past week!

SISTER TIME

Calli came and spent the weekend with us!!!!! It was so great to have some much needed sister time! We went to a chili cook off at our church, took her to the beach for the first time in CA, watched Matt Bowman's team play a football game in Valencia, ate some delish food, and got to spend quality time together! What more could a sister ask for?! Bo and I will be headed to APU on Saturday for Homecoming, and then we'll head back down the next weekend for the full weekend. Let's just say, I like being close to my sister and friends at APU. :)

EMPLOYED WOMAN

I got a JOB!!!! That's right....an actual paid JOB! It's part time, but ya gotta start somewhere! Starting November 1st, I will be a Membership Counselor at 24 Hour Fitness in Oxnard, CA on the Channel Islands harbor! 

I'll tell you more about the details of the job once I actually start doing it. The crew of employees there seem really awesome, so I'm looking forward to getting to work with them! The timing of this job was perfect! Thank you God! I am currently looking to pick up another part time job in the afternoons/evenings in order to bring in a little extra dough to cover student loans...yippee....NOT. Student loans are great when they're getting you through college, but when it comes time to pay them off it can be a bummer. If it weren't for APU, I would have never met Bo, so I keep telling myself, "You can't put a price on LOVE!" ;) hehe

HOLIDAY DESIGNING

As the holiday season rapidly approaches, Bo and I are EAGERLY waiting for Christmas season to be here!!! We are both Christmas freaks, and we just discovered that our neighbors are too! Yes! (I knew we moved into a good area) haha Anyway, I have designed a couple Christmas cards that can be personalized. I am going to continue designing some cards, and I will be putting them up for sale on Etsy.com. I will post the link once I put all the designs up on there. Here is a little sneak preview of one design with my FAVORITE ADORABLE niece, Brooklynn, as my model picture. She is the cutest thing ever! Ok, I better not get off on that tangent....

Anyway, just wanted to spread the word about my Christmas cards. I haven't set a price yet, but it will be super cheap to pay for the design. Then you would take the personalized design and get it printed at Costco, Sams Club, Walmart, Vistaprint, or wherever you like to do your printing. If you are interested in using one of my designs or create something specific that you had in mind, just shoot me a message on facebook or email me if you want more information. I would be happy to do it for you! AND you get a personalized, super cute Christmas card that NOBODY else will have! 

On that note....enjoy the season of fall and get excited because Christmas is just around the corner!!!!

Love,

Newly Employed Wife ;)
