***BliZzARd***
We geared up this week for Utah's "BIG" Blizzard. We went and bought water, candles, and cuddled up while we waited for it to hit. It was windy, and snowy. However, it was not the Blizzard I thought we would have. It was a nice excuse to stay up late and watch Christmas movies though. 
UNEMPLOYED...
The night before Thanksgiving, I was told, my husband no longer had a job. He had known for several days, but to protect my sanity wasn't telling me. To make a very complicated, long story, very short I will give you the condensed version. The business that Clint worked for also employed my Father, and my brother. My Dad after several months decided that his values, ethics, and personality could no longer work for this company. Which caused an up roar with the higher management. We knew then things weren't going to be pretty (which is why I was so upset a few weeks ago). We geared up for the worst, and the next week she let my brother go. Clint continued to work, and thought he was safe. Until recently, where she decided to let him go as well. We have spoken with an attorney, but it would be hard to prove that Clint was let go--due to the fact that she is upset with my Dad. He is going to try to fight it, mainly to just keep a job through the next month. Although, it doesn't seem promising. I ask for your prayers, and if anyone knows of any jobs, PLEASE. PLEASE. call us or email me. c2001d@hotmail.com It is a rough economy, and I fear for our little family the next little while. I do however, have faith that the Lord will lead us where we need to be.

I am a big looser this year. I got the kids dressed all cute, and tried to be spirited, alas I couldn't find the energy! So no Thanksgiving Day pictures. We did have a very good holiday. Clint was still at work, so I was sad not to have him there. We ate, played games, watched movies, and spent time with family. I also mapped out my night of shopping.

Last year, I decided, it was too hard to get up to get in line for stuff. So my brilliant idea was to stay up all night this year. Yes, I did it. Yes, I survived. I know you are all probably thinking "Your husband just lost his job, and your spending money?!" Okay maybe you aren't thinking that, but I was. I have been saving for MONTHS, everything I could so we could have a nice Christmas. It was very hard to be in the mood to shop. I did manage to find mostly everything I wanted, and was able to finish Christmas shopping for my kids. My brother was a trooper, standing by DS games, ready to fight his way in. He did get yelled at by a few people. My good friend also helped me get killer steal on a couple of Wii games for $10.00 each. While I waited next to a Jessie Doll (from Toy Story). I couldn't have done it without them!! I was yelled at once, around 6 am, where exhaustion had settled in. I had done nothing wrong, and this lady was just plain being cruel. Yes, I did yell back. Then I went home, settled into bed, and took a 4 hour nap. (I didn't take that picture--but that's pretty much how Toys R Us was. A little more organized.)
