Spring TIme

It is Spring cleaning time at the Moore house!

In the next few weeks we will be cleaning out :

The closets....we actually started this one today. I took out all my winter clothes that I didn't wear this year and we donating all of it. Amongst all the clothes I found a bag full of clothes (that I vacuumed sealed) that do not fit, so instead of hanging onto them looking for that one day when I will be that size again I decided that there is someone out there that could use some good clothes, so I have parted with them.

Changing the decor, from Winter colors to Spring colors with lot's of whites and bright reds.

The bedding, we've got to get that heavy comforter off for something light....no more sweating at night!

Ah yes gardening, I am ready to get my flowers going and clean out all the dead plants. My backyard is so bad but yet so pretty with all the yellow and purple "flowers" growing in my grass,

man we need to spray and mow!

The big one is cleaning out the garage, this is the time that re-evaluate what we have in the garage and get rid of most of it, the garage walls also need to be painted....I wish I could paint it something funky but Casey would not be cool with that, like at bright blue or hot pink....

I can just see his face if I did those colors. and it wouldn't be a smile.

Then finally just overall organizing of the house again, over the holidays I think we have forgotten where things actually belong, like photos don't belong on the floor in the closet....who did that? I blame Briley!

What are your Spring cleaning plans?

Almost Crusin' Time

I leave in 24 days to go on my 1st cruise. There are 30 of us going, and I assure you the boat, the staff, the other cruisers, and possibly MEXICO will never be the same again. We will either frighten them, or help them have the time of their lives.

The reason we are going on a cruise is because my mom is turning the big 5-0 in May and she wanted to ring it in, in style. Pretty much everyone in my family is going, except my husband and daughter....his schedule didn't allow it (so what's new). I have 2 of my greatest friends going, and since they are pretty much family they signed up in a heart beat.

I am getting so excited, and I can't wait to see Mexico and go snorkeling. Please pray for me because I am terrified of fish, and I would rather not have a panic attack and drown in 5ft of water. I have to go snorkeling because I have always wanted to and I need to face my fear.

Anyone have any advice on what to take and what to do????

I think I am a bit jealous!

Great news, the UCO Men's Basketball team has made it to the D-II Elite Eight. This is only the 2ND time in school history and they have one of their best teams there! So why the jealousy? Well, my husband gets to go with the team to Springfield, MASS., that's way the heck out there. I am jealous because I will be here at home with a 2 year old that will ask for him everyday and want to see him at that moment, also because he will be away from me. I know for a lot of people they are happy to have their spouses leave for a small amount of time, the only problem is...Casey is gone a lot during the week for games and he's gone almost every weekend. He always is home for the night but it is usually after I go to bed or right when I go to bed, so I don't get to see him at all. He is my best friend and I really miss him when he's gone, I love getting to hear about his day and all the fun things and the not so fun things that he gets to do, and in turn I get to tell him about my glorious day at work and then my time at home with Briley. I have to keep telling myself that the season is almost over and he will then be home all the time, and come August I may want him to LEAVE again. It's such a viscous cycle, but I am looking forward to May when all sports are done.

I missunderstood

So I thought that my last interview with LC was my 3rd interview when in fact it was my 2ND! I wonder if that means there will be yet another one or are there just 3 phases. Oh well I still haven't heard back after my Monday interview, hopefully sometime next week I will. Keep praying that God's will, will be done!

I am so clumsy

Sunday I was walking up the stairs to church, when the heel of my shoe got caught in my pant leg and I went to take the next step and I bit it! I bit it hard too! There weren't very many people outside that I felt better about that, but there was a man and his daughter that were getting into a golf cart and then the security guy. They all asked me if I was okay, I didn't know if should laugh or cry or just run back to my car and go home. I decided to go inside and laugh. I then proceeded to get a cup of water and take it to the bathroom to make sure I didn't rip any clothing. I checked myself over and I was fine, I washed my hands and went to leave the bathroom when I opened the door and the door hit my cup and spilled my water all over my shirt. Now, I am thinking what else can happen this is the craziest day I have had in a long time. I finally made it to my room and no more problems there after. My knees are bruised and every once in a while I will think about what happened and bust out laughing! Oh what a day!

Phase 3

Well, I had my 3rd and I think final interview with Life Church! I thought it went really well, I put on the charm and I really hope it worked. I probably won't know anything till next week so I will update you soon.


A funny thing happened at work today, I went into my supervisors office to get my pay stub and was like "I'm glad that you came in here, I need to talk to you." I am thinking okay what about? She starts out the conversation by saying "Not that I want to lose you to another job" at that moment my heart skipped a beat. Does she know, who told her, did LC already call her? All those questions went through my mind. She continued to tell me that there is this new position that came open at the CVB and she thought that I would be a great candidate for the job. So by now my heart is slowing down dramatically, and I start laughing on the inside, b/c she has no idea what is going on in my world. I think she will understand if I do get the LC job, I have a pretty good feeling about it. So I guess if I don't get the LC job I have her "blessing" to go after this other job. I'll keep you posted!

Phase 2

Last Friday the 7th, we were on our way to Tulsa when my phone rang. It was Jessica Grimm from Life Church. When she said who she was with my heart skipped a beat. I had pretty much put this whole new job thing at the back of my mind so it wouldn't consume me. She wanted to tell me that I had been selected to move on to the testing phase of Life Church's hiring process. This was super exciting news, I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the night. Jessica said that since I worked full time that I could take all the tests online at home. Yippie! That was awesome b/c I really didn't want to take vacation to do the tests, but I would have had I not had options.

When we got back home Sunday I checked my email and saw all the tests and pages of information that I had to send in. CRAZY, but I totally understand their process. So I printed out all the forms and started my other tests. Well, I had to re-print all my forms like 4 times b/c I am such a perfectionist. I then started to take my last test and I was in the middle of the very 1st question when I lost connection with the site. AGGGH, I tried to get back in it but they said they had already processed my scores....what scores, I barely even got to write anything down. I emailed Jessica and she said that she would re-send it, well 3 days went by and no email. I decided that I would go ahead and drop off all my forms so they could at least have that, I did that on Thursday and then Robin called me on Friday morning to see if I could just come in to take that last test. I was already home with Briley b/c she was sick but I was able to go and take the test. Everyone there was so nice and really helpful too! I took the test at noon and finished by 1230. I left there to go pick up Briley's meds and to go to work. It was 300 and I thought I should look at my phone to turn the sound off and I saw that Robin had called. So I listen to the message and she had called at 1248 all of 18 minutes after I left! She asked me if I could come in for my 3rd interview on Monday! This is all moving so much faster than I thought it would, but I am super excited.

Robin had also mentioned that they didn't think that I was quiet ready for the actual position I applied for but that she wanted me on their team and she wanted to know if this other position would be ok for me. Of course it would be, that's thing about LC, there is always room for growth and promotions! Now, I don't really know what position I am being interviewed for but I really don't care, as long as I get to work there then it doesn't matter!

Wish me luck on Monday!

Casey's 30th

Last weekend was Casey's 30th birthday! We stayed the weekend in Tulsa, in a wonderful hotel. Friday night we went and ate at Lone Star, this whole event reminded us how much we hated the traffic in Tulsa. Does anyone ever eat at home? We went to 3 different places before we found one that didn't have a 2 hour wait!

Saturday was the best, we got up and went to this hole in the wall diner called "Tally's" it was super good. Then we went to Utica Square which I love! We were trying to find Casey some cool shoes that he could wear. No luck at Utica so then we went to Target still no luck and then finally we went to Shoe Carnival. They were having a buy one get one 1/2 off sale, so I told Casey to go find him some shoes and I would look for some shoes for Briley. Well, they don't have very many cute shoes for toddlers, so I thought I would look for myself some shoes....no luck. What in the world was wrong with me, I was in a store full of shoes and I can't find one stinking pair! By this point I am mad, so I tell Casey to just find him another pair, some 30 minutes later he hasn't found anything, so we were headed up front to pay and finally Casey found me a pair of Skechers. How hard is it to find one pair of shoes in a huge store full of them.....I must be losing my touch.

After we left the shoe store we headed to The Henness' house. Josh and Kristin just welcomed their 2nd lil boy into the world on 2/22/08. Drew Garyson Henness looks just like his older brother Cole Wayne Henness. I can't wait to see what Drew looks like when he gets a bit older. They are so cute! We hung out there for a while and I got my baby fix! We then headed to Ted's to eat. We only had to wait 45-55 minutes, not that bad since we had 11 people with us. Casey got his wish and the staff at Ted's put a sombrero on his head and sang a great Happy Birthday song! Of course Casey loved every minute of it. Kristin took a pic of it so when i get it I will post it on here.

We then went back to The Henness' and all of the guys played some Wii game and it was really funny watching them play and all the movements that they have to make to play the games. I told everyone that Casey would complain about being sore after all the games and he was sore but he didn't complain as much as I thought he would.

All in all I had a blast on his 30th birthday I sure hope he did too!
