Kobi's new vest!!! It was real cold last week so we bought him a camo/NZ vest! He just loves it! And it keeps him nice and warm!
Hello!!! Not sure about what these pics are that I am going to upload so I will let them tell their own story! Thanks for all the positive thoughts about finding a job! I have taken a BIG step and quit the cafe! It was tough cause I've never quit a job before...but I came here to spend time with Mark and we just don't get that quality time when I have to work every weekend! This week I have been at the Jewelry store Tues - Friday so that is good...actually between the two jobs I am working 11 days straight! So I have applied at the grocery store around the corner! Which would be ideal but not sure if they are hiring. But Mark and I both agree that while I am here I should have a job that I enjoy - and it was getting too negative at the cafe...just too much talking behind people's backs and complaining about EVERYTHING! So I'm searching and will hopefully find something within two weeks!

Tonight I made sushi! My first try and it turned out pretty good! Didn't LOOK the greatest haha but I think there are some pics of

Snow on the mountain last weekend
it on here!

OH and I found out that I am allowed to borrow any of the jewelry from the Ocean Gem Gallery that I want! They want me to wear it out on weekends etc! HOw awsome is that!?! We just got all this new silver stock in and there is so much that I like! I just have to make sure to tell ppl where its from! 😊

Oh and we went up and saw the snow on the mountain! It was real cold a few days ago - I think Sunday? And there was fresh snow. We took Kobi up and he had a little play on the side of the road!

As for the weather lately, its been so so nice! We had a lot of rain awhile ago and this week has been nothing but sun! About 10-12 degrees or so! A nice improvement from last week! And Dad, I do try and keep my calendar up to date with all this info! 😊

Mel if you print this one for the ladies at work, can you pass it along that things are going well still and looks like I am

And thanks Mel for keeping me up to date with all the changes going on so that I will be up to date as possible when I get back! And so jealous to hear about Sherry's trip! I hope she has a great time!
