New Jobs

Ryan and I started our new jobs this week. For those of you who haven't already heard I got a job offer I could not refuse. I am working for an amazing boss, with awesome benefits and its finally a job that really makes me feel like I have found my calling. The hours are a little hard to get used to, its pretty much a 24/7 sort of thing- but there is a fitness plan and a really relaxed dress code - basically I feel like I was born to do this job....
I AM A STAY AT HOME MOMMY !!!!!!!!!!!
Okay so that being said, Ryan got a job with HealthNet which is a health insurance company and he will be doing something to do with benefit applications or something like that - it sortof in a weird way has something to do with his planning degree and his internship (instead of approving or denying an application for a sign or a building he will be approving or denying applications for benefits.....)
We are both happy with our new positions - and adjusting to the transition quite well. I am just so grateful that we have been blessed with this opportunity, and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time- Ari is days, maybe minutes away from walking)
Okay, I know what all of you are thinking - "Joy, you are a stay at home mom now, SO UPDATE YOUR BLOG and put up some pictures....."
About that, in this whole transition to being a stay at home mom- I had to give up some things, one of which was my beloved blackberry, and while I would gladly give up my blackberry or just about anything else to stay home with Ari - something tragic happened during this transition period
DISCLAIMER.... I do not, nor ever have, claimed to know anything about technology....

Okay, so we are horrible parents and basically the MAJORITY of Ari's life has been captured and saved on our phones- first picture, first time he rolled over, sat up, ate food, etc you name it- we took the video/picture with our phones.... Well long horrible story cut short- I some how deleted my memory card when I switched to my new phone and LOST EVERYTHING, sure Ryan had a few pictures and video - BUT I HAD EVERYTHING - and its all gone, this is still a very sensitive subject and I have actually FEDEXed my memory card to a computer guy to see if he can possibly extract a picture or video or two ... so we will see
So now I am busy backing up, and rebacking up every picture and video that we have remaining - so once I get all my backing and rebacking done - then I will have time to post and put up pictures, (the ones I have left)

we love you all and we miss you
p.s Ari has 6 teeth

p.p.p.s Ari loves to swing and swim (but never at the same time)
