Many of you have heard that Matt will be starting a new job on August 2nd. We could not feel more blessed and lucky to have found this job. For the last 2 years Matt has been driving from Wylie to Ft. Worth everyday for work. That is 1 hour each way. At first it is great b/c this was his first job out of college. But after 2 years of the driving we had to find something else. The thing about Matt's career field is that jobs are so hard to come by. If you do find a job chances are that it will not pay well either. In the health/wellness field you have to basically work your way up by experience. At the beginning of June Matt applied for a job at Concentra. After 4 interviews he was offered the job!! This job will have some travel involved but not much. It will definitely be a step up in his career. Also, Matt will not be driving an hour each way. His commute just got cut in half. We are super excited to start on this new journey.
My birthday was on June 28 and I am now 28. I'm so close to 30 and it scares me. I don't want to be 30 yet. I've enjoyed my 20's and I want to stay right where I am. For my birthday Matt and I went and saw Wicked. If you have not seen this play....GO NOW!! I don't care what the tickets cost it is worth every penny. Wicked was more of a birthday/anniversary gift but either way we loved it. My parents got me a gift card to my favorite decorating store Target! It didn't take me long to spend that bad boy. Then I also treated myself to a gym membership at 24 Hr Fitness. I hate paying so much for a membership but I get time away from kids so it's a nice break for me. Then Matt also surprised me with a trip to Colorado. Turns out though we aren't going to be able to go to Colorado. Matt has to stay here and train the new-hire that will be replacing him. It's ok though b/c I get car sick and they are paying out Matt's vacation time for doing the training. So we are actually making money by staying here instead.
Notice the half eaten cake. My mom made that on the 26th so of course I couldn't wait 2 days to eat it. We didn't have an 8 so it's 27 + 1. I think we had to do the same thing for Matt's birthday.
June was a very good month for us. It flew by so fast! Lately I have been on a decorating kick. But I try to do it all for cheap. I shop at Goodwill or Salvation Army. I try to find things that I can reuse and make look brand new. Also, I have been working on Levi's pirate room. We are about half way done with it. I can't wait to show the big reveal of what all I have been doing in there. I found my "inspiration room" and it is very expensive. So I have been trying to do everything for less than what the decorators paid to do the fancy room. I think I have been doing a pretty darn good job. Here is a sneak peek at what I have done!
Now here is the one from the "inspiration room" that costs $100.
My total cost was $11. Can you believe that? Excuse me while I pat myself on the back. That's only the beginning. I have other projects I am currently working on and hope to have finished soon. I can't wait to show off my before and after pictures.
I think that is all for now. I will have some cute pics of Jax and Levi hopefully a little later.
