Lot's to share...

Well, most people already know our latest and greatest news.....DEREK GOT A NEW JOB!!!! We are so excited! This is truly an answer to LOTS of prayers! Derek will now be working for Dan Vos Construction Company in Grand Rapids. This is an AWESOME company, one of the best in Michigan! They are constantly getting very prestigious awards for their work. Derek had the privilege of working with them on many occasions when he was at Gentex. They have been wanting to hire him for months, but as you know the economy hasn't been real condussive to new commercial construction, but Dan Vos is starting to pick up and they're really excited to have Derek on board! Derek has been on cloud 9 ever since! He gave his 2wks notice at his previous job, but really only had enough work for 1 wk, so he wrapped things up there last Friday and has been working on his "Honey Do" list this week! It's been fun having him home, he got a lot done! I'm really glad he had a week to wrap his head around this new chapter he's about to start. This really is his dream job and he SO deserves it! Here's Ethan helping Daddy out the other day (steeling his trim!!)

Daddy, went on his "Man Weekend" this weekend so it's just been me and Ethan since Thursday night! It's been fun actually. It worked out that I had almost the whole week off since I worked last weekend. I've really enjoyed spending one-on-one time with Ethan, although last night I hardly slept b/c I was freaked out with all the wind and creapy sounds in my house! I triple checked all the doors, brought the phone to bed with me and locked my door with me and the dogs in my room with the baby monitor right next to my head! What a freak! Oh well, I finally got some sleep anyway!
