6. What do you do and do you like your job? I am the area director for a national non profit. I do really like my job. It's a great company to work for, and I work from home. Although September-June, I'm not really in my office much- lots of meetings and day travel. I have FT childcare bc I go to work every day whether meetings are schedule or not from at least 9-5. I have met some really great dedicated people who volunteer with us over the last 6 years and truly am proud of what I do.The hours do get kind of crazy January-May. There's ups and downs, like with any job. If we could figure it out financially, I'd love to be able to be a SAHM and just do freelance writing. I would still volunteer for the company I work for because I definitley believe in its mission.
Happy birthday hlw082104!
love.wins- the three of us should just go to the concert without DH's!

1. DH and I had gone to school with each other all of our lives, but never really met until the 7th grade. He was one of those nerdy funny kids and came up to me and tried to pull off a Harry Carrey skit... If you were a hotdog and you were starvin, would you eat yourself... I had not heard of the skit before and kind of hated boys at the time and almost decked him, my best friend came up and finished the joke with.... I would, I'd smother myself in mustard and onions. I figured if my best guy friend thought this guy was cool, then he would be alright to hang out with. We became best friends freshman year of hs, and started dating junior year. Who knew that that nerdy funny guy would be the best thing that ever happened to me.
2. The Persuit of Happ"y"ness... It's been out for a while, but we just rented it on netflix and I loved it. Very sad, but so wonderful at the same time.
3. No, we are both allergic so we are waiting until we have a house and a couple of kids to get a Border Collie that we can keep in the back yard.
4. I can't wait to have our ultrasound around 20 weeks to find out what the gender of our baby will be! Oh yeh, and I can't wait to have the baby!!!
5. I don't know that I could go anywhere too far away from my family for an entire month, so maybe just go visit them and since money is no object DH could come with me and we could just enjoy our time together too.
6. I am a SAHW since I got laid off in April, but I am really looking forward to being a SAHM!
