Good News All Around!!

Here is all the good news we have going on here at the Parks house:

1.THE JOB: So after a lot of figuring and talking and PRAYING(not really in that order) my current employer has come up with a new schedule!! For those of you that don't know, let me tell you my old schedule. I would take call on Friday night at 1030pm to 7am, I work 7am-1130pm, take call from 1130pm-7am, and work 7am-10pm. WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I AGREED TO WORK THAT?!?!?! Basically, I am either on call or working for 48 hours straight. So my NEW schedule is that I will work 3 12 hour shifts Friday, Saturday and Sunday. One weekend I will work 7am-7pm and the next weekend I will work 7pm-7am. I know this may not sound appealing to some, but for me it is great. I will get to go to church 2 Sundays a month and the other 2 weekends I get to have some date nights with my hubby and family time!! I know what time I am going in and what time I am getting off!!! PLUS, I get to still STAY AT HOME WITH ADDYSON!!!! I also get to keep my salary!! Both of those are answered prayers. I have decided though, that I will be taking Addyson to daycare on Mondays and Fridays. This gives me time to sleep when I work nights, time to clean the house and just time to myself. It also gives her some interaction with kiddos!! The downside to this is that it had to change EVERYONE'S schedule at work. Some people were not too pleased with it, but my director feels like it is good for the department. I will start this new schedule December 14 and I can't wait!!!! Thanks for all of your prayers!!!

2.THE DOG: Well, lets just say Mylee is no longer here. I am sad, but I just knew after about 1 week that it was not going to work. I really wanted her to be an inside dog, but when I got her home I started FREAKING OUT about her peeing and pooping on my carpet. I just couldn't handle it. So THANKFULLY my aunt and uncle took her back.

3.Milton, Addyson and I are going to Nashville next month to see my bestie Megan and do some Christmas shopping. I was looking for us a hotel to stay at and realized that(I guess) due to the Christmas season, hotel prices were crazy high. My mom had told me about Priceline.com Name Your Own Price, so I decided to try it. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! This is where we will be staying The Hyatt Place and below is what our room will look like. NOW THE BEST PART: We will be staying here for $50!!! That's right FIFTY BUCKS!!! A night in this swanky place STARTS at $145! I just couln't believe it. I made Milton call that night and confirm it. SO EXCITING!!

SO sorry for the long post!! I think that pretty much catches everyone up on the stuff going on here. HOPEFULLY I will be able to post pictures of Addyson's big girl room next week. We are still working on it.
