Seattle PD, here we don't come.

As you know, for the last year Rob has been in the testing process with the Seattle PD. He completed all the testing and did wonderfully. Thursday we got the call saying he isn't hired. They feel like "he doesn't have enough life experience." Rob grew up in a wonderful family, never got into any kind of trouble, never had any tickets so on and so on. It's frustrating knowing that because Rob has lived a honest, clean life that they don't think he can be a police officer. They told him to wait a year or two and try again. Luckily he still has AMR and that will give him all the "street smarts" he needs.
My heart just brakes for my husband. He worked so hard and his heart was so set on this. In the mean time he will become and EMT and look into smaller departments in smaller cities. He felt so discouraged. Who wouldn't? I just want him to know that I am so proud of him for all that he has done. He works so hard and he always will. Seattle PD was not the place for him to be. Never the less I am so proud and grateful to him. It is such a blessing to be his wife and I know that something will happen for him. Keep your chin up babe! I love you with all of my heart. Forever.

Little blessings and stroller naps.

Let me tell you about my morning yesterday, Wake up 5 minutes before I have to leave for work. No I did not wake up on my own, I slept through my alarms (yes I have 3) and woke up to a car honking its horn 3 times. Thank you Heavenly Father for that. Seriously. It was a huge blessing because I was able to get out the door and to work on time and when I got there my boss told me that they feel really blessed to have me and that I'm doing an awsome job and that they are giving me a raise! YAY!!!! Holy moly is it needed!! It's important to count our obvious blessings in life like our spouses, family, friends, the temple ect. but it is also just as important to count and be thankful for the little ones too. Like a car waking you up in the morning.

So baby that I take care of during the day REFUSES to take naps for me. She screams and screams and screams. I know she is fine but how long do I let her scream?! After 2 HOURS I got her up and she was still standing up and her pants were off....Anyway, I gave up. So I get her up and sit down with her in my arms and she is asleep within seconds. If I move, she wakes up and screams. Okay I can't sit there for 2 hours and not move. But that was what was happening everyday. The last couple of weeks though she has been getting up before 6 in the morning! So when I put her in the stroller and walk her older sisters to the bus stop she falls asleep!!! So, I push the stroller into the house and that is where she has been taking her 3 to 3 and half hour naps!!! YAY!! Hey it might not be the crib but I don't care she is sleeping and that's what counts!
