Christmas Photos

Our 'family' Christmas photo this year. I let Josh keep his uniform on this year, figured it seemed more like him. Wish he didn't have a HUGE spot on his uniform, but oh well.

Brittany's Christmas photo. She HATES the hat and wouldn't stand for a photo, that's how much she hates it. lol Silly puppy!

Job

As some of you may know, I was laid off at my job at the Engineering company last month. Damn economy forced budget cuts. I have been searching for a job since and have had no luck.

Unfortunately the economy is so bad, that my job/company wasn't the only one effected and so therefore other companies are not hiring right now. It's sucks because I am not getting unemployment and we have bills to pay. It's hard on both of us, especially Josh, who now has to support the both of us... again.

So please, keep us in your prayers as we struggle through the mess that our economy has left us in.

Sick!

So I have been itching a lot lately and I couldn't find out what it was. I decided to go to WebMD and search my symptoms. I have Shingles!!! Ewwww! It's a form of Chicken Pox that is triggered by stress or sickness, in my case both. So I went to the hospital after finding out that it could shut down my nervous system if I don't get it taken care of. I found out that since I am young and have a mild case, I should be ok. I am past the 48 hour period so I couldn't get a shot so all we can do is treat the symptoms. So he gave me 4 medications and sent me on my way. It should take a couple of weeks until I a start to get better. Until then, Josh has to sleep in the guest room and I can't touch anyone. It's like I have cooties!!

Oregon Coast Vacation

Our trip to the Oregon Coast was amazing. We had so much fun at the ocean. It was beautiful!!

A beautiful rock in the ocean created a beautiful view.

Josh at the Aquarium. He looks like a little kid.

Us at the largest lighthouse on the coast. Beautiful!

The rollin' waves.
