One week ago.....

Well it was one week ago that things got real dicey in Young land. Boy what a difference a week makes. The Chargers are still in the playoff as well as the Packers. Who says Brett Favre is washed up. I was laid off, Becky was put on some kind of bed rest till the baby is born. So it has been real stressful. We know that in all things(key word: all) God works toward the good. Sometimes the good he is referring to is not how we see it because we like to see the full picture at all times. But I assure he is working in our lives his good. So on Monday I decided to go back to school. I was accepted. On Tuesday Becky was put on leave till Melodie comes. Wednesday I applied for unemployment, Thursday I got my job at Oscar's( it's like Culver's, but less expensive) the same position as when I left with all the perks. Even though I told them I wasn't sure how long I would be around for. We registered at baby's rus. Lets just say this whole having kids thing is starting to settle in. It makes me a bit edgy because I am not sure how this is going to go. I now it will be awesome, having kids is a great blessing, but sometimes I get a little nervous. So today everything is starting to swing toward that good part. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a day.

Well today was just one of those days. It started like a normal day. Wake up early to catch up on work missed the day before. Started with a venti carmel machiato from Starbucks. Then off to work. The stuff left to do was not bad from missing the day before because we had to go to the hospital to make sure mom and baby were OK. So I got caught up and decided to get my requested days off for the aforementioned trip to Michigan and the first two days of the NCAA basketball tournament. Well that was about it for the good news. I walked in to my bosses office and gave him my request to which he looked at, frowned, and said sit down and close the door. Well from the looks of his face something bad was going to happen. The plant was either shutting down or I was getting my pink slip. The later was the correct answer. While it would take a long while to explain this disaster, I am glad to say I feel OK with what went down. I am not really OK being laid off, or let go, or whatever seems to be the best so as to not be offended. I know God has a plan and it will work out. Which is definitely not how I usually take news like this. I should be stressed out, but I am at peace. So any prayers would be great. It has been a day. I just can't wait for what tomorrow will hold.

Til Midinght.

There is a restaurant in Holland called Til Midnight. Now while my family was in town for the wedding last February, My Uncle Dale went out to this restaurant. Now little did I now the amount of research that went into his trip. It appears he went online to find a great restaurant to eat at on that Friday night. He learned that Til Midnight was four stars. So he got there and had the best time of his life. Also he scored Becky and I free dinner there on our first honeymoon. So Becky and I are coming back for that dinner. I learned my Uncle wants to come. He went as far as to say if he could get a job of equal pay he would move. To Michigan. Just like that. This seems crazy. So now I find out he has saved all his personal time to come with us that weekend just to go to this restaurant. I have been to great restaurants, but this place must be out of this world for someone to just pack up and move on the spot. Should make for an entertaining weekend.

Really people!!!!!!!!

While driving today as well as the past several days I have noticed that many people on the road don't care about the rest of us. They have places to be yesterday, and show zero regard for the rest of us. They ride your tailgate no matter which lane your in and expect you to vanish so they can keep cruising. Today was a day where a medical transporter was that guy. He was on me in the slow lane, and then about five minutes later he goes zooming passed. Well I thought nothing of it till we got to about two blocks from the hospital (22 minute trip). Who did we come upon, but the same van. Looks like speeding doesn't make you get there any faster.

Happy 2008!!!

Well what a year we had in 2007. Lots of memorable moments for the Young's. We got married on the 10th of February. I had a couple of surgeries. We got pregnant, just to name a few. Becky got a new job. We got news my brother and sister-in-law were pregnant again. I would be writing forever if i tried to include it all. I wish all of you a great and prosperous New Year. I know it is going to be another memorable year once again.
