Well I am happy to report that Shawn made it home for my birthday just in time. Although we were still not able to attend our friends party down in SE OK, Shawn drove by what he described as a beautiful park with a lake on his way home from the rig that would be perfect for a picnic. So he planned a wonderful picnic for my birthday but when we tried to relocate this park it was nowhere to be found- not online anywhere!! So our friends Nick and Sarah saved the picnic and allowed us to barge in on their family day out to the duck ponds here in Ponca. We all had a great time- Shawn and Nick brought their r/c cars and I helped Sarah get some really cute fall pictures of her sweet kiddos! Disaster did strike when Nick's r/c car lost control and zoomed off into the pond- but he was able to recover it and is able to salvage it with minimal cost.

I had a job interview at a really nice dental office in the next town over. The doctor was extremely nice and I think would be great to work for her- she asked me to come back on Monday for a working interview. So hopefully that will work out and I will soon be employed even if only on a part time basis.

Tonight we went to go and pick up a mattress that was so kindly donated to us as we did not bring any furniture with us when we moved- just the bare necessities that we could fit into our trucks. It is going to be SO wonderful to sleep on a bed after sleeping on an air mattress for the past 2 1/2 months!! We are so grateful to the great people we have come across that have been so kind to take us under their protective wings and treated us like family here in OK.

Shawn leaves in the morning to go out to his next rig and is supposed to be gone for 2 weeks- so I will be back soon to post new updates. Maybe Lily will have her puppies this week!! Although I am not expecting them until 10/31!
