Exciting news, Birthdays & Snow!

It has been a busy weekend for us and I couldn't let Milo be locked up in the laundry room more than he has to, so last night Chris stopped at the house on his way back from work to pick up Milo while he drove down with Josh for our cousin Selina Wilson's Wedding reception in Payson. I made it earlier coming from Provo so I had plenty of time to mingle and chat with relatives before Chris made it down with Josh for us to swap places keeping Milo outside. It was the first for many to see Chris and I apart which ended up being the big topic of conversation and the fact that Chris and I no longer worked together. Which leads me to some exciting news...! As you already know, last July when Chris quit his job at HIT without having a job lined up in hopes to land a job with the LDS Church. We were so very blessed to have landed a job with only 3 weeks without work with the economy as bad as it is. The company was at EZ Watch up in Salt Lake. Chris has loved working at EZ Watch do to people, getting paid on time which HIT could not provide and the ability that he had time to learn on the job! It was the complete opposite of HIT with pace and quality of work. The only down side was the currant pay. With both incomes, it was plenty and we were able to continue with life and pay for our mortgage but I have been baby hungry, so the view of not moving forward with expanding our family yet still weighed down on my shoulders. So here we are, on Monday the 15th, Chris was informed just 2 weeks after his first interview with Ancestry, that he was offered the job with more perks than we ever imagined coming our way! He starts Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Part 2 of great news was that EZ Watch Pro over the last 4 months saw what Chris has to offer and asked that he continued to work with them as a contractor :) Chris has been so thrilled for this opportunity to not only work for Ancestry but also keeping a good relationship with EZ Watch Pro because he really did enjoy working for them. We finished the evening off by going over to Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's home for a visit and to show them Milo, our new addition :)

Saturday, we had a beautiful sunny day! With that we decided to decorate for Christmas! Chris was out putting up our new lights while I finished up in side and put the clips on the strands of lights for him :) Fran later stopped by, so we all (including Milo) went to Lowe's and Target to find a Christmas Tree for there home here in Lehi. It was a real treat for Chris and I to spend this time with Fran decorating their tree and while doing so, it started to snow! It was Milo's first snow day and he loved running around in it! Last but certainly not least, it was also James' and my sister Abby's Birthday today so we sang to Abby who turned eleven and moved James' celebration till next week when they arrive for Thanksgiving! Here is my sweet Abby who got her ears pierced for her 11th Birthday! She is so beautiful and kind and I am so proud to be her sister!
