Bang! Bang!

Here I am, updating my blog and listening to Jaden slam the counter doors since they have baby-proof something or other that won't allow Jaden (and myself the first time I tried to open one of the cabinets to get to the trash can) to open them and get into the things underneath.

Oh, Amanda, if you have a missed call for sometime around 6:05PM MST, it wasn't me. Jaden was playing with my phone and called you as well as dialed my voice mail. He enjoys playing with my phone, especially pressing the internet connection button in the middle...good thing I have that disconnected, that way I won't be charged for any internet surfing or whatever.

Right now, he's a little fussy, but I think it's because he's hungry. I'd be fussy too if I couldn't find a way to make my own food when I had a grumbling tummy.

Well, the job fair this past Saturday went alright. I turned in three different applications and gave one of the companies my resume (they weren't handing out applications). I had a job interview yesterday which I believe went well but I have to wait up to two weeks before they are done interviewing all applicants and start the testing process and second interview. What position did I apply for? Secretary, of course.

I am applying on line for a call center company that works with pharmaceutical companies. Not something that I enjoy doing but it would be a job and that's something I really need.

So what's new in my life? As in, why am I updating? Well, nothing much new except I made two French Strawberry Pies for Sunday's after Choir Concert get together hoopla at church and I had Krysia and Steve (and Jaden of course) come over for dinner yesterday evening. I made a salad with carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and purple onions along with the lettuce of course and then we had enfrijoladas, which is the equivalent of enchiladas except with black beans and not red chili sauce. My mom made the rice and I made strawberry yogurt pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Stephen told me he would hire me (don't know why since Krysia is an amazing cook) and my stepdad simply said I was ready to get married. I suppose that was meant to be a compliment.

I am almost done reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer (just have a couple more pages to go) for, like, possibly the sixth time.

Oh yeah! Here are some pictures of my new best friend that I thought would be fun to share.

This was taken at Steve's parents' backyard on Easter Sunday. Krysia "hid" a couple of plastic eggs for Jaden to look for and put in the basket. He was doing a pretty good job of it but once he realized that turning the basket upside down made the eggs all fall out, I think he had even more fun putting them in the basket.
And in this one, Stephen was trying to help Jaden get the eggs and put them in the basket by pointing them out. I don't know why, but I absolutely love this picture.

It makes me think of our Heavenly Father hovering over us as we go about our lives, doing what we want to do and what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

God's love truly is unconditional, not at all based on our abilities and talents, or on our behavior and manners. He loves us because that's who He is...a God of love. He can do nothing else but love us and that's what Easter is about...the amazing love God has for undeserving people like us nailed up on a cross to be desplayed to all but even better...an empty tomb to show that death is not the end. He has eternity waiting for us.

And this one is at the top of one of my favorite pictures of my buddy J. He was laughing at Miguel who was making funny noises while they were picking up all the electrical stuff they had used for the Choir Concert that was hosted at San Pablo Lutheran Church and organized by the Missionary Institute that is housed at the Ysleta Lutheran Mission.

This kid is the easiest kid to entertain. As long as you feed him when he's hungry, he hardly ever cries...unless of course he falls and bumps his head but that only lasts for half a minute before he's back to his usual happy let's play mood. You should hear him laugh...I love hearing him laugh.

Well, done with picture time (I mean, I do have more pictures but I don't want to take away from Krysia's joy of uploading pictures of Jaden onto her blog). I am going to go into the kitchen and join Jaden and Krysia for dinner. Krysia made jambalaya and I always like joining J for a meal...he's fun to watch.

Well, keep praying for me. I will keep looking for employment and not let desperation get ahold of me. Hope you enjoyed the update!!!
