A great opportunity!




While Brent is still not working, We were lucky enough to go with Drew and Rae to West Yellowstone to work a snowmobile show. Rachel works for RU Oustside. They sell all sorts of great snowmobile gear. We left last Thursday and came home on Sunday. Although we worked long days at the show and sometimes our feet hurt from standing all day... We had a lot of fun with Drew and Rae at nights. We love to hang out with them!!! And even better Brent and I were able to make some much needed money!!! Thanks Rae for letting us tag along. And Thanks to Rick..... Rachel's boss for letting us work for you at the show. It means a lot!!!
We went to the three bears resteraunt.... There are bears behind us! This is me and Rae supposedly scared :)

An absolutley NO FUN post!!

So, Here is to a post with "NO FUN" involved. Last Friday I got home from work, cleaned up the kitchen counter from the kids after school feasting, and went outside to get my paperwork from my car. When I opened up the garage door... there was Brent pulling in backwards to up to the garage? Why backwards you ask? Because, he had to unload his work tool box. Yep, they had a lay off at work and now we have joined the many, many who are out there without a job. We have said for the last eight months as we have heard about others who have been laid off and not been able to find work, how thankful we were we had stable jobs. We were not expecting this at all. There was not talk or warning, just an "I'm sorry". They did say that they were hoping that it would be a temporary lay off, and he could return to work in a few months. I guess that is better than.... "Good luck!" There are no jobs to even apply for, so good luck does not go very far. Anyway, I have been trying to figure out how we can budget down, how I can work more, and what we want to and do not want to give up.
