Here we are

It is 5 days past March 1 and Benjamin and I are both employed. PTL!! The night of March 1, I started orientating with a nurse at my job. My pay has now doubled. As for Benjamin......Alpharma hired him at the end of February. He is now working full time with benefits! Alpharma produces products for animals containing antibiotics. Benjamin works in the warehouse, primarily, driving a fork lift around. He unloads the trucks that come in with the raw materials and transfers products between the warehouse and the factory. He is enjoying it! Benjamin only has a 20 minute commute each day, too!

Grandma has been helping out so much lately. I am working straight nights which means I don't get home until Benjamin is already left for work, so Grandma watches Rebekah in the morning until I get home. It is early enough so Grandma can still make it to her job on time.

So, things are going well for right now...PTL. This past month or so has given us an opportunity to practice flexibility.

I hope to take the state test for my nursing license soon. I am just waiting on my school to send in all the necessary paperwork. Once I become a RN, my pay will go up, once more.

Here are a couple pics for you to enjoy:

Benjamin's new look for his new job.

We think it looks pretty good on her!
