We're back from our trip to Olin. The baptism went well and Ethan was very good in church and even got to help with the baptism. (Isn't he cute!) We had a wonderful meal at Mike and Jen's afterwards where Ethan played with everyone who came. Jason even played "Fur Fighters" with him.

We made it back to Ames all right. We both went back to work today. I left work early because of a migraine. I went to our chiropractor and I'm feeling a lot better now. He suggested some neck stretches to keep my neck from getting out of alignment.

I was also told that I would not know anything about my old position until it went up for transfer/recall. So, I am looking for a different job. I like working for the University, but I really would rather do something that's related to my degree instead of washing dishes. We'll just have to wait to see what happens. Until then, I'm enjoying working at the lab and all the people are still really fun to work with.

Visiting

We're visiting Jason's family for Audrey's baptism tomorrow. I got a good video of Jason playing with Ethan.

Ethan loves it when we visit. He had to show us his room and all of his toys. Audrey was fussy because she hadn't taken her nap yet. She fought for so long, but she finally gave in. We brought a lot of stuff for their churches "God's Garage Sale". We almost didn't have enough room for our luggage! Of course we also had a cooler in the back to bring back some beef and strawberries. I also have a helmet, tube cake pan and recipe books we're taking back. It seems that whenever we visit our parents, we come back with twice as much stuff. At least this time we brought some stuff to leave here!

Saving Money

Jason and I were watching "Good Morning America" the other day and they had a segment on how to help save money. One of the things they talked about was the website smartypig.com. It is an on-line savings account that has a higher interest than you would at a bank. I've done quite a bit of research, and I decided to join. I'm trying to save for our "emergency fund" since it will be harder to use if it's in a different account that isn't as accessible. We'll see if it's actually worth it.

Other than that, as of now, I'm still going back to food service starting in August. I've emailed my supervisor (he's been on vacation this week) and he hasn't answered yet. So we're still waiting to see what will happen.
