Bright Shiny & New :)

The kids were able to practice their "Easter Egg Hunt" skills this past weekend at our church. They had a fun hunt around the church & school grounds... along with plenty of candy and sweet treats to be enjoyed by all :)

The kids opened all of their eggs afterwards and pretty much ate all of their candy immediately. On one hand I felt like a bad parent for allowing them that much candy (I don't think the other parents were allowing that)... but on the other hand I remembered what my mother-in-law (a dental hygienist) told us about cavities and sugar... I guess it is better to eat candy all at once as opposed to 8 or 10 pieces of candy spread throughout the day. Maybe we did the right thing after all...?? :) As for my mention of "news" in my last post... it is not baby related (sorry Laura)... it is job and car related!

Job: I started a new job this past Monday... with Amazon.com. It was a tough decision to leave Pfizer, but I was ready for a change. I was getting worn out with all of the driving, night/weekend events, etc... and feeling a little "stuck" from lack of advancement. I am now working in downtown Seattle (south Lake Union area) in a sales role dealing with large corporate accounts and I love it so far!

Car: We had to start shopping for a new car (since I had to turn in my work vehicle). We ended up purchasing a new silver Mazda CX-9 --- it is amazing!

Starting to feel all bright shiny and new -- just like my new car and job :)
