Valentine's Day

So for Valentine's Day hubby and I aren't really big on this holiday but I wanted to make him cupcakes cause I remember around Christmas time he asked for cupcakes and well since I am such a "good" wife (LOL) I never made them till now...

So here they are... They are my 1st cupcakes EVER and they were delicious and since I had extra I just made a cake to go with it... Since I've been following Sweet April's blog I decided to take some tips from her :) I used a ziplock bag and cut the tip and just had a good time decorating them.... I used the Valetine's Funfetti Cake Mix and it was YUMMY!

Cake you taste them??? LOL

That was not the only thing hubby got from me....

He has a new office at work and he has been talking about pictures of "his" dog! Ok so not a pic of his wife but of HIS DOG! So me being the nice wife I decided to get 2 5x7's of "his" dog for his office...

The BIG one from me was the book that really means alot to me since I watched the movie "Fireproof." I thought that maybe we could both do it...

And well my gift from him was going to Walmart and picking out what I wanted.... I really couldn't think of anything but a computer game so I got the Sim's Life Stories game and I am having a blast with it!

Have a great and blessed day...

Updates!

So let me update you on sweet Ashlynn...



"Overnight, Ashlynn's oxygen has gone back up to 100% and has stayed like that through this morning. I have to work this morning .... how in the world am I suppose to do that? My hope is that when Emily gets there she will be able to wean again." from her website www.caringbridge.org/visit/ashlynnelizabeth



Please pray....

As for the job interview yesterday....



It lasted 1 hr 1/2... By the time I left that office I had the biggest headache from so many questions... I think this interview was the hardest of them all. But God pulled me thru each question that was asked while my hands were sweating like crazy. The lady that interviewed me made me feel very welcomed and relaxed and introduced me to everyone. I will know more within 3 wks to a month if I got it or not. She has to interview more ladies next week and the week after that so we'll see... I finally came to the conclusion that God has all the control of a job for me if I just do the sending of resumes, etc... I am going to take a break from STRESSING and since next week is my last week at my present job I will be able to relax. My family is coming from Texas for the Spring Break week so I will at least be able to spend time with them.

2nd Interview TODAY! Prayer!!

Hello my prayer warriors!!

Ya'll are amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping baby Ashlynn in your prayers. As of today her oxygen needs are still high but again GOD IS HER HEALER and I will stay updated on her thru-out the weekend the parents update.

On another note... I need prayer :) As most of you know im job hunting because as of next Friday I will be UNemployed but I am praying that I WON'T because I know the Lord has a job for me BEFORE than! Amen :) So today is my 2nd interview and I won't say where just because I need to keep it hush hush for some different reasons. The interview is at 1 p.m. today and im nervous but who wouldn't be?? I hate that ONE question that they ask which is what I dreamed of all last night "What is your weakness?" Well heck I don't know... I have ADD but I can't say that because they really won't hire me LOL! So in my dreams it was a NIGHTMARE...

So please keep me in your prayers!!

Thank YOU ALL so much! I am blessed to have each of you in my life and each of you have a special place in it!

IN Christ,
Melanie
