Life Hi everyone, It's been a long time since we were in High School together. After we graduated and I no longer worked in the school office I spent about 8 months looking for work. I ended up working at Kmart in the layaway department for almost 4 years. I left there and started working for Fred Meyer here in Walla Walla in their office. I worked there for about three years before we were told we were closing our doors. I was lucky enough that Emporium was coming into our building and said they would give us all interview and I got a job with them. I spent the first 1 year working in the childrens department then got promoted to the office. I stayed at Emporium for a little over 5 years. In the fall of 1995, while at work, I met my husband. He started working at the store the end of September and by November that year we knew we were to be married. We got married August 1996 and had our pride and joy daughter in January 1998. That summer I quit working outside the home to be a full time Mommy and wouldn't trade it for the world! I love being a wife and mother!! Since March of 2004 I have had fun watching a child after school and during school breaks. This ended unexpectedly in January of 2005. The summer 0f 2005 I started watching my baby nephew full time while his parent's work. He was born in late April 2005. I was very excited to become an Aunt to a boy for the 4th time. About 2 months before we started watching Johnny, we started watching his moms best friends baby girl. We now have two babies usually every weekday from about 8:30 am - 4:30 pm. The times the babies are with us during those hours are staggered to where we only have both for about 4 hours each day. It is SO much fun and SO much work!! LOL!! Starting in August of 2007 I started watching the little girls newborn brother so now I have 3 kids under age 3 that I watch (with the help of my husband when he's home) from about 7:45 am - about 5 pm every weekday. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not getting too old for tiny ones but I love them so much and I think they keep me young. :-) UPDATE: September 1st of 2008 the little girl started preschool Monday - Thursday so I still get to see her on Fridays. October 8th, 2008 our nephew started preschool so I still get him Mondays and Tuesdays. I still have the littlest one full-time. It's been a lot better for me health-wise having the older kids less. With the help of my husband and his family I have found my spiritual place in the Seventh Day Adve...Expand for more
