johns Bids for a transfer...

well. He has put in his bids for a transfer, and i am SOO hopeing he gets one soon!
The way it works.... ANYone who works at pg&e can "request" (BID) to work at a different location/different position. SO, if a person BIDS for a position they are currently employed at. (a tech like john, applies for SAME position-TECH) then they are HIGHER on the list for that area.
SO, John put in transfers for,
Fresno-north of where we live- we would move to a town next to there called clovis.
Selma- a little closer than fresno, we would live in Visalia
Lemoore-it is west of us, but we are not really wanting this one- he just bid it anyway-
*Santa Maria-west about 3 hours - at the coast/inland, we would live there
*Templeton-west about 2 1/2 hours - coast- we would live there
*San Luis Obispo-west 2 1/2 hours - coast- we would live there.
(all the "***" mean that these towns are about 1/2 hour awayfrom the town we normally go to when we go to the beach, Morro Bay, just to give you an idea of area)
He is either first on the list of acceptance, or 2nd.!!!!!!
what does that MEAN? well it means as soon as a position opens up in one of those locations (someone retires, etc..) he is going to GET that job/spot!
at first the only places he put in for transfers was Fresno, selma & lemoore. Then after alot of discussion, he decided to try for the coast. It is a little more expensive to live there, but there are a bunch of surrounding towns, And most importantly- he is having health problems with his breathing right now (BECAUSE of the air in Bakersfield (where he currently drives to work at) so the air at the coast will be better for him, and us!)
so we have been hopeing and praying that a move to the coastal area is JUST what our family needs! It is a decision that John and i have been talking about ALOT, as a couple, Im SURE we will make the right desicion for our family. And i MUST say, all the desicion making, and planning that has been going on since he started this job has TOTALLY brought us together as a couple! Im excited to see what the rest of this year brings us!!
Just wanted to update you!

friday we had a fun family day!

well, it was Johns day off! so i always try and have some things for him andMacie to do together. (to make memories..ya know...)

so we went to her last day of swim lessons for Session 1. and she attempted the diving board! !!!!!!

Then, even though it was 104 outside, we attemped the Mini-Golf/arcade place. (adventure park) and macie had SO much fun with John! me and maddie watched and tagged along, but those two are soooo competative... lol

Then, we went to eat lunch together- and after we were through, we looked at table, and john said.."it looks like a tornado hit our poor table!" but with macie, and john, and macie needing something the ENTIRE lunch, i was eating last... blah blah blah.. you are all moms. you know the story... lol

and after they were through we went inside and played some games with macie....

here are some fun pictures!

(I think John had as much fun as macie! lol)

maddie was jibbering and talking to this duck, it was hilarious!!!!!!

look at how hot she looks!!! bow crooked, red cheeks..... lol- i had to take a pic!

I hope you all have a wonderfull thursday!
Don't forget to leave me a comment! Hint hint....

feeling yucky...

Yes- ME- chipper- goofy- airy-silly-talkative-ME
i am trying SOOOO hard to stay in a GOOD mood.... i had this whole BIG long post typed out- but once i read it over again- it was 100% whinning.... lol.....
John is having an ok time at school, those of you who KNOW him, KNOW he is extreamly smart, and so, to hear that the class he is in, is going VERY slowly so the other people get the lessons, and they are spending ALOT of time on each thing, he is VERY bored.... i think the lessons get harder as the weeks go on... So, untill then, he is very bored.. lol
At least they are feeding him really good!
Today- i am determined to have a good day- not be sad, go do some last minute shopping, and take macie to a movie (Nims Island)... that will get BOTH our moods in PERFECT shape!
I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

And Macie got to play with her friends- while we waited for the class rooms to be opened!

John got to visit with Anthony (makenzie's dad) and i got to visit with the moms!

when we got to her class room, there was a bunch of fun things she had made! take a look!

This was a BIG cut out that she painted herself!These were her "I Like School" & "This is My House" Books... she read then to us in her class room, it was so precious!

I Can't believe our little Love is getting so big! It is insane to think i need to request her "FIRST GRADE" teacher on monday!
