New Job New Job New Job

Hi all!

I got a new job. At Oklahoma State University Civil and Environmental Engineering! It is a big job, I am the Sr. Financial Assistant, person who handles the finances of the department. The best part is, the benefits! Insurance, Retirement, Paid Vacation, and Paid Holidays! I am so excited! This is the right place (OSU) for me!! I've been there before, but now I am mature and much more dedicated! And, they have already found a replacement for me at my current job. I start Monday at my new job!! :o) Happy Dance Happy Dance!! And to all my blog friends, I have so many pictures of my life to show you, and someday, I promise, I am going to get them up-loaded on here. Time is flying here, it's already almost middle of the school year, Janie is a senior!! We are sorting through all sorts of college material. Leaning on God to help us make the right decision!! Matthew is on the bowling team at school. He is excited and we are proud!! Just sincerely praying for a routine in my life. It has been crazy since I started work full time, and now I'm changing jobs...I am a crazy woman!! And I'm also very excited and thankful that my family has gotten back into church. God, Family, then everything else!!! I sincerely hope you all have an awesome day!! Love, Kimberly

The right job for me

Hi all.

I am still working full time at the machine shop...but it's not the right job for me.

Prayers are welcome today, as I go on a 2nd interview for a job on our local college campus (OSU!!). I have worked on campus a couple of different times, but this time, I am really excited. As I have matured, I realize that the campus is the place for me. I only have 20 (LOL) more years to work, then I can retire...On campus, you get paid holidays, paid SL, and AL, plus good retirement. So, that being said, my interview (2nd) is this afternoon. Wish me luck!!

On the home front, we have our fall decorations up (I don't decorate Christmas until after Dec. 1), but I have not had time to snap even one picture. Life has been going 24/7 busy non-stop, since I started working. Trying to get into a routine. The weather has has been awesome. 70s in the day, 40-50 at night. Love it!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog, hopefully, soon there will be pictures!!

Love you all. Have an awesome God-filled day!!!

Yes...

I got a job! Prayers are welcomed that everything work out the way God wants it's too. I will be office help for a small very successful productive Machine/Welding Shop! Hard, and a little confusing at first, but I will get it. I am very excited, and very very nervous!!! Thursday is the my first day.

Yes, I can make pie.

This is such a simple "no roll" crust pie.
Ingredients.

reciepe.

Finished product!!

Yummy!!!!

My passion

Spanky, aka, Curious George.
Seastar!

Spanky again, he is Seastars son.

Seastar, she is for the most part really sweet.

Hurry up and take my pic mom.

I was blessed to get to bring Sea and CG to town last weekend;

it was fun. Sea is not one to be loaded, we had a few lessons

on that, but all in all, it was good.

Again thank you to my good friend Mel

for letting us keep them at her house in the country!!

15 inches off

Yes, I did it! 12 inches to Locks of Love.

And, another 2-3 off while getting it just right.

I love it!!

What do you think?

There was reason to this madness, needed

a more professional/updated look!

I am here.

Good Afternoon, I am present. It has been so crazy busy here...I survived surgery, actually it went really well. I also managed to get my CPR re-certified with no issues. Currently I am in the process of opening my home-day-care again, and here in Oklahoma, that is a giant pain in the rear! Continuing to study and get nerve to take real estate exam, and hoping to enroll in vo-tech next year (August 2011) for the massage therapy class. This is the plan as of right now. When time allows and I learn how to make a mosaic...I have a ton of pics to upload!

The weather here is awesome. Highs in the 70s and 80s, lows in the 50s. Near perfect if you ask me.

Life is good!

Out patient surgery

Minor (so they say) outpatient surgery for me today. Prayers Welcomed! Will post again soon. Kimberly

Problems

Hi, I hope all my blogging friends are doing awesome today. It has been so long since I blogged...I have been following you guys, and enjoying all you have had to say.

My main computer crashed some time ago, and I've been left with laptop. They have two different sets of programs...then I deleted my printer off laptop, nightmare, got it back on finally...I am going to try and upload some 25 year anniversary pics, first day of school pics, and Matthew's 15 birthday pics.

Life here has been crazy. I believe it takes a village to raise a child, and my villagers voted "no", so we stopped th. fost. parenting; we do continue to do respite for the other parents on the weekends and some holidays. So, again, I am un-employeed, and it is bad. We cannot, repeat, cannot, survive on one income. We have a freshman and a senior (expenisve) in HS this year! Currently, deperately seeking employment.

Ok, pics are going to take time to figure out how to get them on...so to you all...I miss blogging, I will do better, and please pray for my family! Thank you sincerely. Kimberly

25 YEARS!!!

Today, marks the day, 25 years ago, that I married my husband, Todd. I would love to say that it's been 25 years of wedded bliss, but, most of you, married, know that not every day, nor every year is always great...For the most part, our marriage has been wonderul. We are blessed to have two children, and have had the previledge, of having several foster children in and out over the years. We continue to be blessed to live in this country, have good job, and a roof over our heads. I love my husband more now than ever. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MR. TODD CUNDIFF!!!

Wow, look at this...

Thanks to hubby who helped me photograph this!

Ok, I have a ton of orange day-lillies!

But nothing like this...

the stem on this day-lillie is about 56 inches!

Wow!!

Almost five foot, when I stand next to it,

I'm eye level with bloom (and, I'm 5'4"). Awesome!!

The bloom(s) are just beautiful!!



I hope you all have an Awesome weekend!

And remember, to see the beauty in all things!!



Love, Kimberly
