babysitting

Jeremy and I had an absolute blast watching Sophie this past Thursday evening. I wanted to share a couple videos we took of her, and a couple pictures. I love the age she is at!!! She is so much fun!! She talks non-stop! Jeremy and I got some good laughs at these videos.

job & baby

Good news...Jeremy got the job!!
Jeremy heard from the head video guy at First United Methodist, and he got the job!! It is
a huge answer to prayer for us! He finally has a job that will be using his degree. He is very excited...a bit nervous, because there is a lot he is going to have to learn working with this church, but I know he will do great. We went a signed all of the paperwork on Monday and they are going to decide on a start date at the beginning of next week. While we were up at the church on Monday I got to go to the studio where he will be working, and meet the guy that will be his boss. He seems like an awesome, laid back guy to work for. And, the studio...well lets just say, I might never see Jeremy again once he starts working here. He has a pretty sweet set up in his little office area. In front of where he sits are two, 23 inch widescreen Apple monitors, for video editing. I'm pretty sure that is like a dream for him. He kind of has his own little studio. It is really neat. He is not only going to be doing a lot of video shooting, and editing work, but will be learning the audio aspect to a lot of what he does. So this is going to be great experience for him.

She was born to Ryan and Kylie Kelley. Kylie has been my good friend ever since kindergarten, and we have grown up at church together. Ryan and Jeremy have been friends since high school. I was so blessed to be her nurse during her labor yesterday. It was fun...well, for me at least :). Kylie and Ryan did such a great job going through that together! I just had to share some pictures of little Kaitlin. We went back today and saw them, and they are doing great!! Thanks guys, for letting me share in your day!

father daughter time/job opportunity

Yesterday was a beautiful day for working outside! I was at mom and dad's all afternoon helping dad in the yard. It was actually a lot of fun! We got all of their stone laid around the front of the house for the flower beds. We also dug up a lot of dirt and transferred it to other parts for the garden. Yesterday reminded me of fall, with how cool it was, with the nice breeze. Which means that the sweats and hoodie weather is almost here, and that is my favorite time of year!!
It was great getting to spend the whole afternoon with dad. I took some pictures of our work. Mom and dad also had trees put into their yard this past weekend. It is all starting to look really nice!

The other purpose for this post, is to let everyone know of another job opportunity Jeremy has. He has had a couple interviews with the head video guy at First United Methodist in downtown Wichita. This is the church that broadcasts on Sunday mornings on ABC. These interviews have gone really well, and this past Thursday he wanted to take both of us out to dinner, which we had to decline because of family pictures....haha. But he and Jeremy went out on Friday for lunch, and he told Jeremy that he wants to hire him. Which is great news, and a huge answer to prayer! He just has to get this position approved by the head pastor, who will not be returning until this coming Wednesday. So that is all we are waiting on. This job is going to pay really well compared to the coffee shop :). We would also be eligible for health benefits, which would make me a little more flexible with my job. We just would appreciate everyone's prayers for this. It seems like a great opportunity for him, and so far everything is falling into place!

I think the highlight of my week was stopping by KT and Julie's and getting to play with Sophie for a little while...three more months and she will have a little sister! I am pretty sure Sophie is a genius. Are 1 1/2 yr olds supposed to be able to count to 10, and know that the "p" comes after the "o" in her name?? I was pretty amazed! :) I can't believe how much she is talking and how big she is getting. So I just wanted to brag on one of my three cutest cousins ever (Chloe and Mason being the other two). I thought I got some pretty cute pictures, so I thought I would share. When Jeremy and I were leaving KT and Julie's, Julie came out and said that Sophie was saying "Kellie, bye bye". Yeah, pretty sure my heart just melted right then and there.

Here is some more humor for your day :). I just love these girls.

you sexy thing you

For those of you who know Jodi and Erin I thought you might think this is funny.
They made a couple other videos but I couldn't upload greater than 100MB. I will try to get them uploaded somewhere else. We miss the Birkey family so much!! Jodi and Erin have been making these videos since they were 4 and 5 years old and got "married".
