Job interview

For the 1st time in about 7 years I applied for a job! It's with Cocalico school district being a substitute paraprofessional(a teacher's aide).. I had an group interview on Thursday.. which was only filling out paper work.. like W-4's, direct deposit forms, tax exempt papers, retirement forms.... the next step is for me to get background clearance(criminal & child abuse) & getting a TB test(not looking forward to that one).. then once all that comes in, My info will go before the school board and get voted in.. so I could be employeed by Cocalico school district by Aug... no later than Sept!!

Here I am on before my interview...

Not the easiest to take a full length photo ;)

Swimming Lessons

I signed the boys up for swimming lessons through the local YMCA.. they had lessons Monday - Thursday from 8:40-9:10 in the morning.. it was bit early for us to get up and get motivated but we did it(& we weren't late). The lessons were for 2 weeks. They didn't pass the "guppy" but I think they learned the basics and I will continue to work with them at my mom's in her pool :)

10 years of love

Yesterday Jason & I celebrated our 10 year anniversary ♥ We can hardly believe that it has been 10 years already.. if the next 10 years go as fast as the first 10... Owen will be 19{gasp} Carter will be 16{and driving.. double gasp!} and Callie will be 13.. eeeekkkkk!! Not to mention that Jason & I will be in our 40's!


These 10 years have been filled with lots of ups & a few downs.. but I surely wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with any other man!!





Jason bought me a beautiful ring...



I got him a new band {made out of stainless steel} but I gotta send it back.. It's too small :(

Rehoboth Beach, DE

on Thursday, July 2nd, we took a day trip with my mom & Cailan to the beach.

The drive there was a bit taxing... It was over 2.5 hrs. and Carter kept asking every 45 min. or so if we were there yet! Cailan finally showed him the road signs that showed how many more miles.. that helped A LOT!!

Once at the beach we had fun and the day passed really quickly {I think we shoulda left a bit earlier}!
The weather was absolutely beautiful for a day spent on the beach.. the high was aroun 79 or so with a breeze! The water was rough & there was no swimming due to the jelly fish, which were washing ashore... the kids had fun with them and even picked a few up with their hands{they didn't have any tentacles, so it was safe}

Callie and I had fun digging in the sand and I tried to make a sand castle but she was quick to smash whatever I done.

She was also a bit afraid of the water.Towards the end of the day she would venture out to get her feet wet but if she saw a big wave coming she would try to run from it... sometimes she would win.

We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins super close to shore.. they were hard to capture on camera though! Owen found a crab claw..

The waves were strong all day long.. they even knocked Carter down at one point & snagged Cailan's bottoms off her hiney.. good thing she's fast..LOL

we had a wonderful day with Nana at the beach
