Just had to share some great news!!! My hubby(Rob) has been working his heiny off at Coca-Cola. He was told that ifhe wants to advance in the company and to be promoted he'd have totransfer out of state, since where we live there's not too muchturnover in the company at all.... After quite a bit of hard thinking,he decided to put in his resume at some other corporations. He has aton of managerial and supervisory experience, so we knew with a littlepatience and praying that a better job would show up.

Well, he had an interview at Dish Network in December before Christmas,and was told to go take his pre-employment UA test and had to get abackground check done.

He just got a call THIS WEEK (!!!) that his background check finally came back, and they wanted to extend the job offer to him.

He will be going out of state for two weeks for some extensivetraining. The health benefits, etc. seem better than Coca-Cola's, andhe will get three days off in a row every week. He also will get acompany vehicle, which will be so nice! I guess that Dish Network isexpanding and growing big-time, and there's quite a bit of room foradvancement and growth within the company......

Thanks everyone for all the congrats on my hubbyand his new job. He is very excited! His former employer is notoriousfor not treating thier employees as they should. It was veryfrustrating to say the least. When Rob (my hubby) went in to DishNetwork to fill out papers, etc. he was talking with the head of theLincoln branch, and was told how Dish Network is such a wonderfulcompany to work for. Then some of the other guys that were there weregoing on and on about it, too. I figure that's got to be a good sign!They are even trying to move the training to Lincoln, so my hubby wonthave to be away from his family! That is so nice of them to try and do!

I love ducks! What great pictures.

When I was a kid, I had two ducks as pets. Yeah, I was odd like that.One was called Stuart (after that book Stuart Little) and the otherSimon, after the lead singer of Duran Duran (even though it was a girlduck).

Well.... my daughter and I did it again. We went to the petstore today, and checked out their rabbits.

It was horrible!!! They had 9 (yes, 9!!!) bunnies cramped into onelittle cage. There wasnt even enough room for them to spread out andwalk, so they were literally climbing on top of each other for lack ofroom. It was a group of litter-mates, and they suppossedly had justbeen brought in the day before. Many of them were sooooooo matted withfeces and had scratches, etc. It was just horrendous.

I would have liked to have brought all of those bunnies home, but Iknew I could'nt..... so i bought two. I figured at least those twowould have a forever home that was full of love and caring, and thenthe other bunnies would at least have a little more room in the cage.We expressed all of our concerns to the petstore, and I will bechecking back tomorrow to make sure that they have been moved to propercage set-ups, etc.

My daughter picked out a bunny that she named CoCo, and I picked out alittle girl with a Cataract in her right eye, that I named Lickerish.They are real sweeties, but I can tell that where they came from mustnot have been a good enviroment. I hope they adjust to their new familyand home quickly, and that they realize that we wont mistreat them asthey have obviously been mistreated in the past.

Here's pictures of Jaiden's CoCo:

And pictures of my Lickerish:
