It has been a while

I usually can only jump on the computer on the weekends and then only for a second. The job is going great. Brie seems to be adjusting well. She is refusing naps, but other than that she is doing well. I love the greeting I get when I come home from work. It is awesome to hear, "Mommy!" and then she wraps her arms around my legs.

We went Christmas shopping today. We got Brie a play Hoover vacuum complete with real sounds and attachments. We also got her a DVD of the "Wiggles". She'll be pleased as punch. I am also going to pick up a cheap piece of costume jewelry for her. She loves the "bling bling"! LOL

We also sort of had a date night tonight. Brie stayed with my mother-in-law while we shopped and had dinner out. I actually got to drink an alcoholic beverage....oh my!

After getting to three different stores, we found a digital camera we liked. The first store it was over priced, the second was out of the camera, and the third time was the charm! We are now a proud owner of our very first digital camera. I am so excited! I can now post pictures after taking them. WOOT!

We won our case against Rick's former employer. We had to go through the county attorney, but the original check, one check fee, and the filing fee were paid. We then called the bank to see if we could possibly get the last two fees waived to bring our account to a zero balance.

They thought we were nuts since our balance was on the positive side. Rick looked and sure enough, a direct bank account transfer had been made for ALL the fees that were incurred when the check bounced. We took the money out and closed the account. What a relief!
