    In the recent days, both Rex and I have gotten a few calls for interviews. The interviews I have been getting aren't anything related to my education in Earth Science however but sometimes you do have to go back to the basics. When I first got back to my parents house I was still trying to find something even using the experience I've gained through the temp agencies. However that experience was only months, where my nursing home experience is over 2 years. Hence, I put in applications for nursing homes and the calls started pouring in. Literally. I'll be starting part-time at one nursing home, March 1st. I still have the part-time job with the middle school as well.

    Rex went on two interviews for an electrical company his friend works at down in Baltimore. We're still waiting to hear back for that. We're adding a few days in there due to the snowstorms and the holiday. He also heard from a friend in Philadelphia who said they are hiring where he works. Rex is going to go there on Monday to fill out an application. I'm so excited because just the other day Rex was saying he was going to visit for the weekend, the last time he was here was on my birthday, January 9th. My Dodge Neon which I've had since 2005 isn't doing too well, so he'll be coming by Greyhound. We got a one way ticket for now. We've been discussing the next steps considering we tried getting more stable positions back in Maryland and now it looks like we'll be staying in New Jersey longer than we thought. If that's the case which it really seems to be, then Rex was planning on coming here and finding a job up this way. We both knew the arrangement was only until we can get back on our feet and even with us all living at my parents house, we know we want to get much more on our feet. That comes in time though.

    The offers are coming in much more than the previous weeks and we definitely need to work for a living. I've been looking for a daycare for May and we think we might have found one in Delran. She is a little explorer. Climbing on everything she can get her tiny hands on. I know she'll be happy to see her father. Hopefully he can find a job up here and we can go from there. We have to take things one day at a time.

    I came across another subscription service for this week's Friday Find. This service is called The Young Scientist Club. According to their website, the science kits are award winning. I actually ended up on the the Magic School Bus Science Club subscription. I remember watching the Magic School bus after school and learning about how the body works and the layers of the Earth. Oh that Ms. Frizzle! The age range for the kits are 5 though 12. I know I have a while before May turns 5 but hey I might even get these for myself. I've always been interested in science, hence my Bachelor's in Earth Science: Meteorology. Hehe.

    I was very intrigued by the Magic School Bus Science Club and clicked the logo to find the other products and subscriptions. I see science as more of a discovery of why things work they way they do and this company seems like a wonderful way to showing what science is. From the look of it, it seems their kits are very informative and offer a fun way to learn.  The Magic School Bus Science Club is $19.99 with shipping and handling included. They also offer kits such as Clifford the Big Red Dog, Science on a Gardening Adventure and Volcano Madness.

    Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you are warm and with the ones you love. This morning we woke up to a beautiful treat. No not chocolate but the beauty of the sun sparkling over the fresh snow. We got about 2 more inches of snow overnight from Winter Storm Pax. In total I'd say we got about 12 inches. I know many including myself are tired of the snow at this point but when I saw the sunrise and the scene just down the street from where we stay I just had to take a picture. Nature is truly beautiful!

    May turned 14 months today. She getting bigger every day! Just wanted to post this picture I took of her earlier. We didn't take her outside today, even though there was at least 10 inches of snow. She did like watching it fall, and when she gets older we'll definitely have to build a snowman! Happy 14 months May!

    May took her first steps earlier today. She was walking, WALKING to her grandfather. My dad said "Come here," and she was let go of the piece of furniture she was holding onto and without any assistance, took two steps toward him. I still can't believe it. She fell forward afterward and then reached out her hand and he lifted her up.

    I was sitting on the couch and from my view I saw she was walking but I thought she was holding onto the chair that was close by. My dad said "No, she was walking," and then I remembered that she held both hand out in front of her. I should have recorded it. I know there will be many more recordable moments though. I got so emotional and teary eyed. May will be 14 months old on Thursday. She is definitely gain more confidence. My mom noticed that even when she holds onto the furniture, she walks more with one foot in front of the other. It's only a matter of time before she is fully walking. It was such an amazing moment. I wish Rex was here to see it. He misses her so much and we miss him. We hope to see him soon. Maybe she'll be walking into his arms :-)
