Working Mom

So, today I started working again. Like a real "outside of the home" job. I know being a mom is a real job, and my favorite one at that. But the goal of living in this trailer is to pay cash for some land and a place of our own! So, we figured if I work, we can save a lot more! 
I'm excited about working again. It has been over 3 years since I worked. The last time I worked I was 6 months pregnant with Natalie. 
I got a job at a tanning salon. (Free tanning... YAY! lol). I figured since my income will just be extra savings, that I really didn't want to work at a job that I will dread going to work everyday at. I wanted a fun place to work. Somewhere to get away from the small space we live in and help us work towards out goal. And plus, we won't have that silly little extra bill every month called a "tanning package"! lol. 
Today I worked a 4 hour shift. It was pretty simple. A lot of information, but most of it will just come as I work and get used to the routine. I have to learn about all the tanning lotions and what they do and how the accelerate your tan and such. So I guess I will have to try them out! ;) 
The place I work is much better then some of the tanning salons out there with the really orange girl there who doesn't know the meaning of  "customer service". Or that tanning and looking good is the only thing in life worth living for and "Ugh! I can't wait to be done with my shift, so I can go tanning again and get another shade orange-er." 
Thank GOD!
No, the place I work is the one all the nice people go to... well mostly. Because they love the customer service and all the girls there are nice and helpful. And we are not all about getting you and ourselves orange, we are about getting you and ourselves a nice shade of brown and making sure you don't burn in the sun and look good while you are out, but don't worry, that's not what life is all about! :) 
So, all that to say, I am very excited about working again! Although, I can't wait for the day to be a stay at home mom for good, I am willing to help out the process of getting our own place just a bit sooner! It will be worth it in the end!

Levenworth

We had a wedding to go to in Levenworth yesterday. It was a beautiful day which made the drive very enjoyable! 
 We put the little ones in my in-laws car and we took Katie and Ryan's friend Mark in our car.
 (She won't be very happy about me putting this one up!) :)
 and Mark
 and Ryan 
(He was driving but I used the forward facing camera on my phone to take it, that's why it look like he's in the passenger seat) 
 and my toes :)


Haha

 (Love this!)
Yay!

 We were late, but made it just as the preacher... woman... said all rise for the bride! Perfect timing!
 Beautiful location!!






 Daddy and his girl!
 Our family!

 Me and Malere (bro-in-law's gf)

 The Happy Couple!







 Malere caught the bouquet (nudge, nudge Jesse) 


 Trying to figure out what the budda is... lol

 THE most beautiful bride I have ever seen... hands down!

When I first saw the picture of this dress my mouth literally dropped! Gorgeous!!

 Natalie dancing with a random little boy :)



 Sleepy, sleepy little girl! 
 No nap and bedtime!



Food for the drive home!

We had a really good time there! It was really hot! (well, for us Western Washingtonians) 
It was 90 degrees for the day! 
After the wedding we walked around town for a little, while the men went rattle snake hunting! 
Great day!

Well, since it is 82 degrees out now, I think I will go make myself a smoothie!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
