We are SO happy and relieved to announce that Katie has received a job offer from Thomson Reuters (http://www.thomsonreuters.com/) in Evanston (10 miles outside of Chicago), and will start her job next Monday! Her job will be very similar to her old one at AON - as a sales analyst - and she'll be working in their HealthCare division. Whew! In this economy, we feel very fortunate that she was able to get something so quickly after leaving AON, but the last month has been difficult, as you can imagine. Katie is JUST as excited about her other big news - she's getting a puppy! Yes, a chesapeake bay retriever. She will be getting one of three little girls that are left from a litter in Iowa. Here's the link to the kennel: http://goldeneyeschesapeakes.com/Puppies_TRPX.php
If you scroll down the page, you'll see puppy pictures listed under "Puppies of Jenny & Tator." Two other people have dibs on the puppies, and Katie will be third to choose, but she can't go wrong, because all of them are adorable. She hopes to have the puppy home within the next week or two.
Also, a reminder that next weekend is our garage sale! If you have anything that you'd like to sell, just drop your things off at our house during the week. Dave, Rachel and Ally will be coming home on Thursday evening to stay for the weekend, so they'll be available to help (thanks, kids!) and Brenda and I think maybe Rachel N. will be helping out, too!
It's been a busy week. One more thing that happened is that we bought a new car, and are trying to sell our red Grand Prix. So, if you happen to know anyone......
We should try and have a family breakfast again within the next couple of weeks. What do you think?

I'm so excited for Bella - I can't wait! Also excited to come home next weekend - I hope we have nice weather. Probably good you are not doing it this weekend - I think it's supposed to rain a lot :(
Yeah for Katie! Hope she LOVES the new job :)
We can't wait to see you, Dave & Ally, either! Yes, Bella will be a real cutie, won't she? Wonder which one it will be....
I looked at Sweet Bella last night on the internet so I am glad you are introducing her to the world....
About the new car....?????what?
Why is Scott selling the grand prix?
CONGRATS again to Katie
As far as the new car, got a great deal on a Pontiac G6 (whatever that is) - due to the GM bankrupcy, I'm sure. If people can afford it, now's the time to get a new car....
