Well, last week I had an interview and Jared had to come home and take care of Henry since having the flu (no one would take Henry in case he still carried the flu germs). Jared decided that he would take Henry to the car dealer while I was interviewing and just see how it drove. I got out of my interview and called Jared to tell him everything about it, and he had the audacity to say, "I'll have to call you back." Needless to say my feelings were really hurt. He called me back and explained that he was test driving a van. Oops! So I said, "DON'T SIGN ANYTHING!!!! I'll be there in a few minutes." I'll save you all the details, but I will tell you that we walked away with a FANTASTIC deal...$7,000 below the asking price! I wheeled and dealed with that salesman and finally got what we wanted. We bought a 2007 Silver Toyota Sienna. So, if you want to come visit us, and you're concerned about us having enough room...Don't be!!!! Check it out below...
In other news, my job interview went really well. I didn't get it however. I was very surprised that I didn't get it. There was a hiring manager and another manager in the interview. The other manager said several times how great I did when I was leaving. The next morning, my old manager text me and said he had heard great things and that I was the best interview all day. I really got my hopes up. The person that got the job had worked for the hiring manager, worked that specific territory, and already knew the drugs so he wouldn't have to learn them. Since the layoff, I would hope that my manager would be as loyal to me if a position opened on his team. I was pouty for a little while and obviously disappointed. I asked the hiring manager when she called what I could have done to get the job and she said NOTHING!!! It kept coming back to me and the guy who got it. Although frustrating, I understand, I guess. So, I'm still job searching and feeling confident about my interview skills. I just need some contacts to help me get an interview.
We went to Lauren and Justin's this weekend and spent the night on Friday. We love those guys so much! We finally got some pictures with them. On a funny note, we were all talking to Henry on Saturday, telling him what we'd teach him. Here's a little how the conversation went:
Lauren: Henry, I'll teach you to play soccer!
Jared: I'll teach you some Greek and Hebrew.
Justin: Henry, I'll teach you how to eat ice cream!!!
I'm pretty sure Uncle Justin wins!!! Check out some pics and video of our little guy!

Congrats on the van purchase! I've been praying a/b your job situation :) Keep us posted. Henry is just too cute - love all that hair.
Welcome to the world of minivan ownership--one of my fave perks is having enough room to keep an ice chest in the back for trips to the grocery store that involve frozen foods, ice cream, and such.
He's so BIG! I think he's definitely on the right path to having hair like Bryan's!!!!
I'm still amazed by your ultimate awesomeness at mini-van/car salesman negotiation! Amazed. I'm never buying a car without you present.
So glad we got to catch up Sunday!
look at all that hair. i love it!!!! he is a spitting image of you bran. precious
We loved the new pictures and videos. I just talked to you today and you didn't say anything about the new van... EXCITING STUFF!!!
Judy says... "OHHHHHHH, Grammy misses you!!!"
Henry is getting so big and cute!! His eyes are the best!
Love, Lauri
If I might --perhaps you should consider adding a few images. I dont mean to disrespect what youve said; its very enlightening, indeed. However, I think would respond to it more positively if they could be something tangible to your ideas. Keep it up, but put a little more into it next time
