The skinny on us

Ok so I think it's time for an update...here's the skinny on us. Ben is currently working at the sheraton in downtown dallas until Towne Park takes over the anitole on september 1. He is with the same company he was with in orlando and currently has the same position however when the anitole opens up he will possibly be moving up. Cross your fingers. A little bit more about that is that moving from orlando to the dallas area in terms of ben's work has been a HUGE adjustment. For those not familiar, ben works partly off salary and partly off tips and he doesn't even make a fraction of what he made in tips in orlando SOOOO if he is not moved up quickly and offered a salary increase he will be looking to change jobs in the near future. Actually he is already looking, he has sent out some resume's and has been put in contact with some people so we will see what happens...it is all in the working stages. Pray that this will all be a smooth transition and work itself out. 

Now as far as looking for a house....we haven't even begun! The reason being since we are unsure about the job situation, therefore we are uncertain which part of the metroplex we should be looking in, therefore we haven't started looking!

Ok so as far as my job situation....I haven't begun looking either! Are you noticing a pattern?? Again the same reasons apply. We agree Ben's job is the most important and we will need to be where his job is and so once that is settled and we see what if anything we will be able to work out for Aiden, I will begin my job hunt. 

I try not to dwell on all these unknowns too much because they hurt my head and stress me out so I am trying to remember that God is going to work it out in the perfect way that we need at this time in our lives so I just need to be patient and trust. 

Ok so onto Aiden....my child is the most beautiful child in the world. No I am not biased...it is true. He is doing so many adorable things these days. One of the not so adorable things is he has learned this VERY high pitched scream that he just sits around and does at the top of his lungs!!! After about 30 minutes or so it stops being cute! haha I wish I knew how much he weighs because it seems like he is just getting bigger all the time!! He won't go to the dr. again until he is 6 months though. Yesterday we took Aiden to see aunt kimberly and she took some absolutely PRECIOUS pictures of Aiden! But you will have to wait to see them. Trust me though, they are awesome! 

Ok so one more thing....as you all know...I am very much struggling with getting this weight off so my mom and I are doing this hardcore diet where we eat "in the box" and go to meetings and the whole 9 yards. Hopefully it is going to make a huge difference. I can already tell a little bit of a difference in my body and I think I have lost somewhere around 6 pounds. I know that is not by any means a big number, but hopefully it is going to grow and grow! So wish me luck on that! I really have high hopes that this diet is going to be effective for me because it doesn't give me options to cheat and that is good for me. I seem to have lost all willpower I might have ever had!

Hope everyone is having a good week!
