Finally after over two months of sending out my resume and cover letter to prospective employers regardless of whether or not they are hiring someone, I finally got my first job here in the United States.  The last months (or even year) has been a tough time for the American economy.  And the domino effect [...]

My Christian turned 36 yesterday.  It was his first birthday as a married man.  And as a wife, I tried to make it extra special…something that he will remember and hopefully get used to for the years to come.
