New Job!!!

In case you don't know already, I quit my job at the group home a couple of months ago. I was miserable and sick of working harder at my clients' lives than I was at my own, especially when they weren't even interested. There were lots of reasons to quit.

I was just offered a new job (and I accepted) to work for an oral surgeon doing PR for her practice. It will be totally different and a challenge, but that's exactly what I wanted. I turned down another job offer because it would have been pretty dull and I wouldn't have learned anything new. I start on Monday. Now I have to go shopping because I've been wearing jeans to work for the last 5 years!

I'm excited to see you all at Christmas!

OOPS! I forgot to mention that the "warmer place" is Idaho,where my dad lives and my sister and her daughter are staying for a few months. Ashton wanted to spend some time w/ her cousin Valerie before they moved back to Virginia.

A Fabulous Idea!

I had a terrific idea today. Which makes it pretty much like every other day.

For the benefit of everyone else, we should all post our Christmas traveling plans on the blog. So far, I think Nath is the only one who knows them all.

Here are mine: Drive to Dave and Nath's house. The end.

It's almost Halloween!

This year I decided to spend my favorite holiday in a little warmer place, where Ashton can enjoy trick-o-treating, carving pumkins, and other fun things. The weather has been sunny and in the 60's and 70's, so we've been spending alot of time outdoors and having fun. I can not wait to post a picture of her wearing her costume. I think it's the cutest, though it won't surprise some of you what she's going to be for halloween. You'll see in a few days. Happy Halloween!!
-Cara

We went for a hayride to the pumkin patch and Ashton picked out her own pumkin.

Ashton carved the eyes and nose all by herself. She used a very dull knife and it took her awhile, but she did a great job!! She's so proud!!

Too Busy Too Post...

Brown Trivia #2

Sorry I didn't post this on time. Friday was a busy day, so I forgot.

Ashton was excited when I brought out her winter hats and mittens. She couldn't wait to get outside. She loves playing in the leaves. I hope everyone is still enjoying summer!!
