(See how much the kids have changed since I began blogging?)
If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you will remember last year was difficult to say the least. With all the broken bones and the huge pay cut Bryan received, we struggled through the year. It was a learning experience for all of us, especially the kids.
My daughter was known to quip, "I liked it better when we had money." It was a sentiment shared by the entire family.
When my husband was offered a job with another company in January he pounced on it like a cheetah. We knew it would take him a while to work up through the corporate hierarchy again. However, on Friday he was offered a promotion! Yea! We are so thankful.
Now, how soon do you think it will be before my daughter decides to stage a corporate takeover at her job?
Also, it's time for my semi-annual "Ask Pam" post. Do you have any questions you'd like to ask (G-rated) about our family? me? Sassie and Peeve? The kids? The Spare kids? Leave them in a comment below and I'll create a post soon.
Amazing the difference a year makes.
ReplyDeletePeeve? I don't think we've met. Sassie, yes but Peeve, no so perhaps a little about him/her would be nice.
Where has the time gone? Our kids are growing up way too quickly! =(
ReplyDeleteYour daughter has been busy lately; what's your son been up to?
Here's a question:
ReplyDeleteIf you could meet anyone in the world, past and/or present, who would it be?
Congrats to Bryan AND your whole family. Little things can make a world of difference. Big things can too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news on the promotion!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, questions...since you review a ton of books, I would like to know what your absolute favorite book you've read in the last year is. And, what is the most Life-Changing book you've read in your life?
Congratulations to your hubby on the promotion!!!
ReplyDeleteOk - a question.
What was your most humiliating experience when you were a teenager... I'm sure your kids are dying to know too.
Congrats to Bryan on the promotion! I did tell you C's business application with the state was approved, right? I honestly can't remember!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: I know your kids don't like educational trips. Are there any that they were pleasantly surprised to discover was really cool after all?
I am SO happy for your husband and your family!! Super happy...and you just wait I can see your daughter climbing that ladder real quick. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCool idea about the questions...let me think. Have you and your family always lived in your current state...if not...how many states have you lived in?
What great news about the promotion! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSarah
Excellent news for Bryan! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteDid broken bones happen among the siblings of either you or your hubs as children? Because it really is a crazy situation you've had there.

It's nice to look back sometimes and to see how much has changed (or stayed) the same.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea about questions! I might have to copy you (if you don't mind).
My question is, "Are you an early bird or a night owl?"
What a great news Pam!Congrats to your hubby on the promotion.I read your blog since 8/09.You know I love your blog. My question is when did you start blogging, is this your first blog?
ReplyDeleteSassie and peeve - super cute :).
ReplyDeleteGreat news! May it get better as the year grows older.
ReplyDeleteJust one question: where are you? As in what state?
Congrats to Bryan. My question is "What do you know about Malaysia?"
ReplyDeleteLOL, no googling for information!!!!
Congrats on your husband's pay raise! I hope that it will make everything a lot easier!
ReplyDeleteAnd my question is did you put the part about it being G rated in because you know me?
Congratulations on your husbands promotion! That's wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if the kids might ever do a guest post like Sassie? How about Peeve?
Also, what's your favorite book genre? My current fave is urban fantasy, but could change at any time! :)
Tell me about your writing. Does your daughter like to write/read????
ReplyDeleteI’ve enjoyed looking over your blog. I came across it through another blog I follow. I am now a follower of yours as well. Feel free to look over my blog and perhaps become one as well.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your hubby Pam
ReplyDeleteyou must be very PROUD of him :))))
That's wonderful news about your hubby's promotion! We've been in a similar situation having experienced a job loss, finally a new job, then two pay cuts over the past two years, but we're still alive and kicking. We just keep focusing on every positive thing! I just found your blog, Pam. It's nice to "meet" you! :o)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your husband on his promotion! That's great news!
