Prayers work: Today Steve got a phone call from the CEO of the VA hospital in Los Angeles Steve became good friends with her before she got moved to LA and became the CEO. She offered him a really good job (70-80k starting off). It is a great opportunity....except for the fact that Steve would have to work in LA and traffic is terrible.
He was also told today that he has been given an extention on his temporary job status for a year at the VA in Loma Linda which would be great as well (especially if he gets into dental school at loma linda).
He also went to a job fair today that happened to be in Loma Linda and he talked to a few organizations that sounded interested in him. 2 days ago we had no job options, and now we are swimming in them. Nice change.

Hmm...If my name were Steve Nelson, I'd take a permanent job in LA over an extension of a part time job. You can stand a commute for a couple of years.....of course unless he REALLY has his heart set on being in dental school and he's 99% sure he can get in. Then I'd consider the other. Of course, that's just me.

Yeah, I am with Kim. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, as they say (Sounds to me like this extension of the current job is also in the "temporary category"still, right?). And even though the commute would be Nasty...maybe 3 hours a day???... it still won't be the 12 hour shifts that Brigham and Cambrie have had to do. Yeah, Cambrie's was only 3 days a week. Brighams will be like 5 days though, right Brigham? Maybe worse? But it's worth it, because it is the ticket to a better life later. It will open some great doors down the road. Also, I think I would worry some about the CEO never trying to help you again if you turn this great offer down...then how much good does the internship do you in the end?. Just a thought. Take it or leave it.

Well done Steve. Some day I'll be rich and famous like you. In the meantime, I'll boss people around a grocery store.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
