so much it's almost too much

There is just so much to talk about....

I'm so excited about our Garage Sale on Saturday! I love getting money for things you don't use anymore....always a good thing expecially when money is tight right now because I don't have a job.

The house is coming along...slowly but it's coming a long. We have the guest room done except for hanging things on the walls, we have the guest bath done except for some stencil painting I want to do and hanging a few things. The kitchen is done though it is kinda a catch all for the living room and misc things that don't have a place yet. We have painted my scrapbook room a beautiful orange color and I plan to get that room done once our Garage Sale is over. We painted a wall in the livingroom a chocolate brown color, and I am in love with the wall! The office got painted red....then I did a second coat....it needs a 3rd but we really don't have much paint left for that. So I am thinking that will be put off for a while. I hope that this weekend we can get that room put together so that we can put the dining room together also. Because that is the room that is storing all the office stuff. We also have plans this weekend to paint our bedroom. It will be a blue/gray color. We bought a new bed last weekend at IKEA...it's so pretty. I can't wait for the house to be ready for people to come over and see it completed!! We have had a few people over but I really only want their first impression to be the completed model :) But I'm also super excited when anyone comes over even with all the mess! haha

jobs.....
So I had that interview last week and it went so well. They were all so nice to me, and told me during the interview how great I was. But I still didn't get the job :( I really thought I had it in the bag because the superintendant is a very close family friend of my Aunt Lisa (Scott's wife) and I was just sure she was going to push for me to get the job plus they told me how great I was......

fast forward to today I went to that school districts substitute teacher orentation and the Superintendant was there during it. After it was over she stood up and said "Natalie...." So we talked for a good 10 min, and she was very very very nice! She told me that I was the choice for the job, that the whole team loved everything about me, loved how nice I was, loved how bubbly I was, etc......and then at the last min a teacher applied for it that used to work in the district. The reason this job became open was because the 4th grade teacher became the new principal...so this lady applies that used to work in the district with this new principal...so in the end she picked her friend. I understand why she did it...it just sucks. But that just wasn't the place for me. I hope that I find the place for me soon!

With that said I do have an interivew for 2nd grade on Monday! I have nothing but positive thoughts going through my head. I will get this job!

Sunday is David's 29th birthday and he wants nothing....to do nothing...to get nothing....I am really really sad about this. I feel like it is all my fault. I don't have a job and so we can't afford his birthday. He keeps saying it's fine....but it's his BIRTHDAY...you have to do something...I just don't know what yet....
