IT"S OFFICIAL!

Today is THE DAY!! As of today, Jared is a licensed Edward Jones Financial Advisor! He can start selling and making us some money! There was a 45 day waiting period to become liscensed, from the time he took his tests until today. He is in Arizona this week, for some additional training, so I am at home braving it alone, with all the kids! :)It's amazing how fast the last few months have flown by! We have been surviving on a very small salary during this training period and were concerned with how we would swing it, but we made it! God has provided for us, and we know he will continue to do so over the next few years as Jared establishes his business. If you think about him, please pray for him, that he has favor with every person he comes in contact with and that he will do well!

Gaylord-ICE!

This past weekend my parents treated us and Amy and Ryan to ICE at the Gaylord! It was so much fun. The room you go in is 9 degrees and everything in the room is made of ice! They give you big parka's to go over your jackets, so it wasn't too bad! Amy and Jess went down a 9ft slide made of ice and Amy said her feet were FROZEN standing in line on the icy stairs! The kid's had a blast and even got to see Santa and talk to him for a minute. We tried to take a picture for our Christmas card but I didn't find one worthy enough! : )
