The Latest in the Craig Corporation Saga.... it never gets dull

Okay so we might be moving, either to Pensacola FL, or back to Utah, we might just stay here...  So this is what has happened in the last two weeks.

1. Brent gets an Email from Suntrust bank in FL asking him if he would be interested in an area position in Pensacola.  After talking with me we decided that we are really happy here in South Bend. However when he replied to the Email, he said he would always be willing to talk.

2. At 4 pm that day he recieved an email from the hr department for Suntrust asking him to fill out an official application and send his resume as an attachment with the app.  Oh yeah they asked him if hr could call him that next Thursday at 2.

3. Friday at 2 after a fantastic interview hr called and asked if the vice president of retail for Suntrust could call him the next Friday at 10 am.

4. A 20 min interview and the vp of retail absolutely loves him (aaaaggghhhh). Says that hr will get in touch to match dates to fly him to Jacksonville.

5. 10 min later he has a plane ticket to Jacksonville to have another interview not only with vp of retail, but the pres of the bank.   

Yeah can you say wow?  WOW WOW WOW.

So by step 3 Brent was talking with his buddy Jason in Utah ( he has been with Brent for 8 years) Says "what will it take to move you back here as an area leader?"  Brent says buy my house and give me a butt load of a raise.  Jason says he will see what he can do.

I just don't know what to think at this point.  We really are happy here, and we want to move to bigger and better things.  We need to strike while Brent is on top and I understand that, I just want to be settled by the time the kids are all in school.  I told Brent that if FL is the place he wants to be then lets make it happen, but no more moving for a while.  He seemed okay with the response so look out world the South Bend Craigs are on the move again.  ( this will be the 13 move in 8 years for those of you who keep track).

The gala pics

As promised the pics are up.

Gala, Birthdays, and PJ parties

We have been so busy this week. The weather has decided to finally be spring, I have flowers in my yard again, and a gala to attend.  I found a dress that needed a cover up which I found without flaw. Yeah!  I got my hair colored about a month ago.  Stacey and I went to the college where I am going to attend in the fall to get my updo. I met a cute girl that was telling me more about the college.  It was way cheaper than going to the day spa and I loved my hair!  Stacey took some really nice pics and will be sending them later.  As soon as I get them I will post them.

We had a great night at the gala.  The food was much better this year than last year.  If you can believe it Brent actually danced with me 3 times.  He has only danced with me once in 8 years of marriage (at our wedding, with the bad wedding singers) yes everyone still remembers how bad they were.  So for Brent to dance with me was a huge thing.  I really liked the gala and we had a great time.  We sat at the Key table with Paul and Stacey, Joe and Sue Butzer, Greg and Jennifer Compton.  We had so much fun!  After the gala we went to applebees for a dessert ( I had a baked potato).  To end the night we came home and crashed! True Craig style eh?

Earlier in the week we had a Pj party at our house.  Stacey was comp shopping and I was watching the kids late so we had a pj party and watched movies.   It was a great week!

Irwin Birthdays

I have to apologize for not updating lately.  I am waiting for pics from Stacey. So this blog is not full of pics but I will add them when I get them.

First thing, we had a blast at Zoeys third bday.  We went to castle park. The weather was fantastic! We bought a cake just for Zoey that was a barbie princess.  She loved it! We gave her some presents on Friday when we celebrated with Jameson.  We got Zoey a bunch of little disney princesses, and a cinderella stuffed girl.  She hauls them everywhere! Vader has eaten two of them.

The whole week of spring break it rained, which sucked because Stacey and I wanted to put up her new trampoline. So on Thursday Jamesons bday, we put up a trampoline in the rain.  It was very cold and the kids so wanted to jump that day. We ended up going to mega play, which is a fantastic hole in the wall for kids.  We went back to Staceys and had a PJ party to end the night.  When Brent got home from class he came and helped me get the kids home to bed.

For Jameson, we got him some craft supplies.  Drafting paper and a kit of colored pencils, markers and crayons. (he is quite the artist)  we also gave him two spider mans and a fantastic four guy ( i think it was mr fantastic).  I love hangin with the Irwins, they are our family away from home.  

Happy Birthday guys! thanks for inviting us to your special day!

A New Plan

After my rant last week, Brent and I got to talking about what I would like to do in my life.  I told him that I have never been a big go to school, write papers, take tests kind of girl.  I worked for my sister in law in a day spa and I really liked it.  We talked about me going to cosmetology school and I really liked the idea.  Brent said we should pray about it and we both felt like this is something I could really get into.  So Stacey and I went and looked at a couple of colleges and she helped me ask the questions that I might not know to ask (she is a licened cosmetologist).  I found a school that I like and put in an application last week.  I will start in the fall when the kids go back.  It will take about 10 months and I will still be able to go to Florida.  Brent said that I already look like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.  I have to agree with him!  I sound like I change my mind alot and I am not saying that I don't, however when it comes to school I am just a hands on kinda chic. This is the best answer I can come up with

Stacey says that I have the perfect personality for a cosmetologist along with Brent, Pennie, Mom, Ro, and James.  I am glad I have a supportive family!  Thanks guys for rollin' with it, with me.
