Why Babies need Mommies

Hopefully this works :)

Funnies at Work

Okay...Most of you who are reading this know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Office on NBC. It is and will always be the funniest show on television. In fact, Matt and I love it so much, we turn it on (almost) every night before bed and fall asleep to it. (We set the timer, so it doesn't stay on all night.)



ANYWHO.... If you watch The Office, this will be especially funny to you...



Have you ever heard the updawg joke? It goes:



"Man, It kinda smells like updawg in here"

"What's updawg?"

"Not much whats up with you?"



Okay....so I heard that joke probably in 2nd grade, but I told my friend Vicky at work, and she just thought it was HYSterical!! Apparently she'd never heard it. So she then proceeded to try to get EVERYONE who walked by with this joke, but no one said it right. They would say something like:

"I don't smell anything" or "I don't know what that is" or "It smells like what?"

So obviously the joke doesn't work unless they answer "What's updawg?"



So poor Vicky went the whole morning and couldn't get ANYONE to say it. Until....Mike walked by. She said it and FINALLY Mike says "What's updawg?"



You should have seen her...I'm not kidding, her face LIT up!! She was SOO excited! So quickly she says, "Pretty Good! How are you??!!"



LOL....she finally got her chance and messed it up.... Just like Michael. LOLOLOL



Moving on.....

My funny friend made some more funny comments today that I just couldn't pass up. I'm throwing my best friend a baby shower this weekend and one of the games is the animal alphabet game (Her theme is Noah's Ark). The guests have to come up with different baby animal names that start with every letter of the alphabet. So Vicky says..."what would you do for V? Thats a hard one.....hmmmmm.... OH I KNOW! A Valapter!!!!!"

So I said, "a WHAT?"

"You know....those dinosaurs!"

"Vicky.....That is a velociRAPTOR!" HAHAHAHA

One of those days....

Have you ever met anyone who's voice is like nails on a chalkboard? There is someone here at work...every time she speaks it makes me want to kick a puppy :) LoL I'm kidding....kinda. After the amazing weekend I had (more on this later), I should be in a better mood... :)

AND it kinda smells like updawg in here...

Movin' On Up!

I really wanted to take pictures of our house after it was all complete so I could post them on here, but when we go to the house yesterday, wouldn't ya know it, the camera was DEAD! Darn! But I just wanted to give a quick update....

We got the appraisal back for the house and it appraised for $13,000 MORE than we are paying for it!!! Isn't that AWESOME!? Praise the Lord! :) We are definitely in the final stages now! I just have to drop off some more papers to the bank tonight after work, and she will tell us when we can close on it! I'm so excited!!

We are Totally going to have everyone over for Guitar Hero/Rockband night when we get moved in! :) Woo Hoo!!!

Pictures will be up soon!

The Verdict! (Thats what she said!)

SOOO....Matt interview went swimmingly!! :) I'm not sure if that's a real word, but I'm using it anyway! You'll have to ask Matt in person to get the full story but I know lots of people (well the four people that read my blog) are interested to know how it went!

The owner met with Matt and told him several times that he really liked him and could tell that he really loved what he did. He went ON and ON about how much he liked Matt's print work. The problem is that they need a web designer, and Matt has only worked 2 websites. (Although they are GREAT!) He's done the Pawnshop's http://www.goldrushpawnbrokers.com/ and Darren and Katie's Bagz website http://www.kdbagz.com/.

Sidenote: Devin I need you to show me how to hyperlink words. All I can do is type out the whole website!

He said that he is going to try and crunch the numbers and see if they can take on another print designer. BUT (I know I'm not supposed to start a sentence with BUT :) ) no matter what happens, he still wants to contract out some work to Matt (like free lance stuff). Matt was REALLY excited and encouraged when he got done with the interview. Hopefully it will develop into a job!!!

Babe! I'm so proud of you!

Job Interview!

So Matt just called...he's on his way to Champaign... for an INTERVIEW!! Woo Hoo!

Matt LOVES his job at the Pawnshop and loves being a part of "the family", but he's been hoping for a graphic design job since he graduated college. He is SOOO talented too! He and his brother 'amped' up their resumes and sent them out everywhere. Before, their resumes were plain and standard and now they look all designy. Is that a word? :)

Anyhow...A guy that he met at church posted his Resume on some type of network and sent Matt a job posting. And the owner emailed him! The art director for the company apparently graduated from Olivet! What a small world?! They set up the interview for today at 10:00. That's right NOW! I know Matt is prepared and SUPER excited!

I'm sure Matt would really appreciate a little prayer! :) He doesn't have a TON of experience in web design, but hopefully the employers will see his potential! I've been praying that if this is what God wants him to do, then please let everything work out!

I guess I better get going so I can keep praying! I will upload some of his work so everyone can see how talented he is!

I LOVE YOU MATTHEW! Good Luck!
