Here she is....

Lucy Anne Michelle Best

Born Sept. 18, 2008, 1:51pm

7 lbs, 5 oz., 19 1/2 in.

We are SO in Love!!

Rumor Has It

That my husband was interviewing for a lower position that would train him for a higher position and he'd get moved up in like 6 months. Well apparently they liked him SO much, that they decided to skip that step and just give him the higher position right away! (That explains the higher salary)

Now how awesome is THAT?

And to top it off, when he told his current boss that he was moving on, he learned more about how amazing God is... one of our friends is in major need of work and was asking current boss if he could throw him any.... And now he CAN! :) God is so coooooool!

Ladies and Gentlemen....

I am pleased to announce that my handsome, wonderful husband has been offered the position of Associate Financial Services Advisor with Please join me in congratulating him on this awesomeness! :) YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

He will get full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401k, paid holidays and vacation.... everything! And free college for him and 80% off college for ME! It is set hours and they offered him $2 more an hour than they originally said they would!! WOO! Not only that, two guys from our church also work there, with the same hours, so he gets to car-pool! YAY!!!

Oh...and he gets to wear JEANS! Yay for him!

I am so so so so so excited... and SOOOOOOOOOO proud of my hubby. :)

(Isn't he handsome?)

Oh... and since ya'll are surely wondering...

The BELLY:

I feel like I look huge, but according to everyone who goes all drop-jawed when I say I have 3 weeks left, I must not be that big. hehe!
Judge for yourself!

:D

Where has the time gone???

Hello everyone!
Time has flown! I cannot believe I am already a week out on leave; it's gone by so quickly! I have gotten a lot done, though it seems my list hasn't shrunk much since I've been home (I have a tendency to see things as I go, and do them too, which doesn't cross stuff off the list. I should add and cross so i can see it-hehe). There's just so much to do and so little time, not to mention that I overestimated how much I'd be able to do in a day - I get tired very quickly now!

Anyway...I've washed all the baby's laundry, half of ours, cleaned some stuff, did a lot of shopping for supplies, packed my hospital bag, organized iTunes...ummmmmm.... oh I don't know what else. Gwen and I shifted into the school take/pick up schedule relatively well too, which is great!

I also got email-hacked which is always nice... hopefully deleting my address book, changing PW and running a virus scan and all that will fix the problem. My friend is maybe going to take apart my computer to run an external scan on it too to get rid of anything I can't get rid of myself. Blah. Stupid hacker jerks.

I am really enjoying being able to take my time doing stuff and relax throughout the day, too. Hopefully the baby will hold out for a while so I can get more stuff done, though. Well, at least until after my baby shower on the 21st. hehe

We haven't decided what her full name is going to be yet, but we do know that we will call her Lucy, and Anne will be somewhere too. Hmmm.... so this is what I've got... any suggestions?

Lucy Anne Best
Lucille Anne Best
Lucianne _______ Best
Lucy-Anne _______ Best

So according to my ticker, I have 19 days left till Miss Lucy is due to make her grand entrance... should we take bets? My midwife says everything looks great, and she's growing well and my body is doing what it's supposed to be doing so now it's just a waiting game! WOOHOO! I am really interested to see how everything goes!

Mikey has a job interview today (pray he does well and gets the job if it's right for him) for a job that would be a great opportunity for him to get his foot in the door of non-"man-work", which makes him happy! Full benefits, tuition, vacation, holidays.... AWESOME! Set hours, too, which is really important to him. We had to buy him a suit for the interview, and boy does he look HANDSOME! (which in case you need a suit, there is this place called Mondo in Parkway Plaza that has suits on sale for $149 and it comes with shirt, tie, socks, etc too!) Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure:



I'll try to be better at posting more regularly so you all don't miss out on my amazingly interesting life for too long! hehe

Much love!
