Small update. I made it through the weekend. Yes! So, let the week of two sub jobs plus 31 hours at Pier 1 begin. Gosh, I'm so NOT looking forward to the hours I will be working there. Especially because 80% of them will be after the store is closed. Plus, I've never liked driving at night. So, driving home at midnight three nights this week should be fun. (note the sarcasm)
Anyways, vent over. I'm gonna put on my happy face and try to think about what I'm thankful for since that's what this week is supposed to be about. I am thankful that my sis will be home tomorrow for the week. Hopefully I'll get to squeeze in some sister time with her.
I'm thankful that both me and my husband have jobs and that we have cars that run, an amazing house, and plenty of food in our pantry. (I realized today that I need to clean that thing out!)
I'm thankful for my friends and family who are too amazing for words.
Last, but not least, I am thankful for my husband. He works WAY harder than me and never complains about it (hmm I should learn from this, huh?!) He loves me more than anything and would do anything to make me happy. Yep. I love him.
Never hurts to write out some of the things you're thankful for. Helps put the annoying things in life in perspective. Okay, off to get some much-needed shut-eye!
Hope you all have a great week!

no time to blog!
Sorry for the lack of updates! I got the second job at Pier 1 and they didn't waste any time throwing me in head first. I am now super super busy.
This week for example, I am subbing Tues-Fri, working 5-9 pm Weds night at Pier 1, and Saturday all day. On Saturday, I'll get my schedule for Sun thru next Sat. I expect it to be crazy since it is Thanksgiving week and the dreaded Black Friday. My manager has already informed me that everyone in the store will be working Weds. before turkey day and Friday and Saturday. Boy oh boy, I'm tired just thinking about it.
I'm not really sure how I feel about the job yet, but at the very least, it will give me some extra money and a discount for the holiday season.
As you may have guessed, Jer hasn't slowed down one bit either. He continues to spend all his free time outside of work and class working on our business or down at the fire dept. I sure do appreciate him and all of the hard work he puts in to everything that he does. I really lucked out in the husband department, that's for sure!!!
For now, that's all of the updates. I don't expect to be able to update much until after turkey day has come and gone. So, I hope every one of you has an amazing and blessed Thanksgiving day and I will catch up with you soon! xoxo

happy weekend!
Couple updates from the Quinby family are in order. Jer is still busy with work and the fire dept and class. He is currently at a Saturday lab for EMT class. He is #1 in his class and has a 98%. I am so proud of him and glad that he is actually enjoying being in school ;).
I have been subbing regularly in Newberg with a few days in neighboring districts. I worked in Canby last week and got to see some of my students from my student teaching experience. They are now 8th graders and all taller than me. I love getting to catch up with them and I always leave on an emotional high.
In other news, I have been applying for second jobs. Anything that I could work after school and on weekends. I have an interview on Monday at Pier 1 Imports. I'm hopeful that it will work out. I love the store and would get some extra money and a nice discount! :) I also have an app. in with a restaurant in town that just re-opened. So, we'll see if I can get anything.
Last night, we went to the NHS vs. Mac football game. It was fun...always good to beat your rival. In the 29 (I think?) years that Eric has been the head coach, we've only lost 3 times to them. Dad was happy to get the win even though they didn't play their best.
I have a bridal shower tonight for a high school friend and I'm really looking forward to catching up with her. She is just an awesome person and I'm sad that we don't get to spend enough time together. She teaches at an elementary school in Corvalis and does an amazing job...she's such an inspiration!
I've gotten involved with the fire dept. auxillary (wives group) and am looking forward to volunteering next weekend at the Turkey Carnival at station 20. Look for updates on that after next weekend!
Other than that, not much else to report. I'm sitting here listening to the pouring rain and thounder as flashes of lightning light up the room. Think I'll go make some cocoa...happy weekend! :)
