Recent happenings **

I haven't been very good lately of updating everyone on our situation here in the Chacon house! Sorry.
About 4 weeks ago Carlos got notice that he would be layed off after his contract was up instead of being hired on at LandAmerica. Anyone who has been paying attention to the news knows what has happened to LandAm. Anyway, he has been on the job search for 2 weeks now and finally got a new job at CXI which is actually the company that bought Indigitech, who was Carlos' first employeer after college! So that is neat. He will be working at Capitol One as a CXI contractor. It is a permanent postion which means we will be in Richmond for a few more years at least! :) After that we are planning, on some level, to go to graduate school for Carlos. Anyway, Miriam lost her first front tooth and it is so cute to look at her. I am pretty sure I put her video on her blog so you will have to look!
We had a lovely Thanksgiving and it wasn't overwhelming at all because all of us made something and it was great! We had it at Rose-Marie's (carlos's sister) house. All of Carlos's siblings and families were there as well as his mom. It was nice to have everyone together. We did miss Grandpa but we understand he had to stay in Costa Rica for now!
Grandma and Catie-Lynn left this morning and we are all sad and miss them! We are going to have a busy day of Christmas fun and get ready for the big day! :)
** By the way, I had my 30th Birthday the day after Thanksgiving and it was fun. At 2am Ana, Abinadi, and I went shopping. Starting at Walmart where we got portable DVD players for $49, $9 vacuums, and Ana got a $4 mixer! :) Then we went to a few more stores but didn't buy anything else! It was a LOT of fun! We all went to see Twilight and then came home for angel food cake! YUMMMM! It was a great day! Thanks everyone!
