Who knew answering a simple ad on craigslist for a nanny might get me a job? Not saying I have one yet but it looks like it might work. I never search craigslist for childcare jobs but the other day I decided why not give it a try? So I did found a good ad and sent a reply....I think it was the next day and Kate sent me an e-mail asking to see my resume. So I sent it off and before I know it yesterday am I get a call from her but of course was on my way to work and of course didn't have time to talk :( So she promised she would call yesterday evening. She did and we got along good. Come to find out they just moved here a few mos ago from Wash. DC and her husband actually still works up there and either comes home every thursday evening so he can spend time with his wife and girls or they go up a weekend to be in DC with her husband and family. So chances are I will work a half day on a friday or be off on Friday :) The kids are Ivy (5~ she is in Kindergarten most of the day. I would pick her up about 3 and have both kids till 4:30 when mommy gets home :) and Sierra is 1...So I would be mainly watching the baby all day. Unless Ivy has a day off school for some reason. So mommy is a teacher at a college I think....so I would get 2 weeks off at Christmas and a week at Spring break....and I think I would work part time in the summer....that i am a bit worried about but I could always try to find another part time nanny job to go with it....I think we are going to try to meet on Friday morning and I hope all goes well with that. She basically already did the phone interview and we got along great and I hope all goes well and Chris is in favor of me getting the job. It would be so wonderful to be able to have Fridays off or work half-days :)

Today is a perfect day for blogging. My husband (I still get excited when I write that or say it; and sometimes it still seems hard to believe I really am married) ;) anywayz as I was saying husband is napping, just had a slice of cherry cheesecake (my husband got the idea from my cousin who posted a picture of hers and he just had to have it so I made it last night :) and I have a lovely coke too :) Life is good!
Now onto the real topic: My Siblings....It seems like I have known each of them forever! lol
Angela is 21; she has been married over a year to her Andrew. She is also in her last year of nursing school, she also teaches piano. She and Andrew have a small house near my parents :) She was my matron of honor in my wedding.
Amy is 17 and entering her last and final year of school :) yay for her! I think she plans to go to the community college and live at home for a while. She has played piano for several years now.
Thomas is 15. He loves baseball and has been on a travel team I think for a few seasons now. He is really devoloping a neat personality. Really funny and outgoing :) but in a cute way. he is dad's buddy and dad is glad he got one boy with all the girls :)
Anna is 9 and truly a blessing. It was fun to have a baby in the family when I was 16 years old. She and I are really close :) Still miss her alot now....

Ok, so today my day was actually better than most of my work days lately. Lately they have been having me work in the older classrooms and I much prefer the baby rooms what I feel 100% more comfortable around and caring for. So my day started about 8:30 am when my cell phone alarm went off...it was just a gentle vibrate. Husband was already up and working in his office...he has been working hard lately....so I dressed and spent a bit of time on the computer before I had to head to work. I was pleasantly suprised when I got to work and I spent the greater part of the morning in the infant rooms yay. I got to work at 10. I spent 2 hours in the 1 year old classroom too which they were asleep so it wasn't anything eventful. Then after that to the 2 year old classroom. They are actually kinda fun. I have been around them more so they are getting to know me and I am them as well.....So the 2 year old room is probably my second favorite room :) After that I spent from 4:45 to 6 pm in the infant room and was off work around 6. Came home and hubby had his friend Alpha over and we ordered pizza for dinner which was good. I picked the jalepenos off my pizza to feed Buster our dog and he ate them up....he will literally eat anything :) This evening I showed Chris some of the house ads I saw for rent....we also found a website where I will call in the am about some houses. it will be fun actually getting to tour a house. A while later I ran out for some ice cream treats and sodas....I was really craving something sweet ;) oh, and I almost forgot the news of the day....My parents sold their big house! They close on the 20th of Oct. And my mom made me an offer....she offered me her dining room table and hutch and I couldn't turn that away! She offered to store it for me till we have room for it hopefully soon.
yesterday after church Chris and I drove past a house that was on craigslist.....It was really actually quite cute....but the bad thing is the ad was taken off Craigslist so they have probably already found renters. :( It was in a country setting with out actually really being in the country. It was on a good piece of property....had a couple storage buildings and a gazebo, a good sized front porch, and the thing that caught Chris's eye was the bee hives/bee keeping equipment. Chris has mentioned before wanting to get into that. :)

we went to the fair this evening so we had cheeseburgers, fries, a soda and we had a smoked turkey leg.....I think they could have thought up a better topic to write about today....
- Mood: calm
I realized recently since I have been married how much I would like to be on a Christian Married ladies message board....I loved it in the past when I was on one with friends and was able to discuss different things :) Now I would like to be able to meet people in the same season of life with similar interests.....so any suggestions would be helpful. :)

I have been blessed with great loving parents, who have always been there for me and raised me in a loving home and blessed me with siblings and the closeness of family.
My dad is Brian Fuller....He was born and raised in the Boston area of Massachusettes. He is the oldest of 5; his siblings are Cheryl, Bruce, Scott and Timmy, almost all of which still live in MA except for Bruce who lives out in WA state. Dad joined the Navy sometime after he graduated high school. He was in for 6 years and whle he was in he met mom (he was stationed down in Norfolk, VA ~ mom lived in the area at the time) Dad also did some college at some point. After he got out of the military he got a job up in ME and he and mom lived up there and eventually got married up there. They were married in Brunswick, ME on Oct. 17, 1981. They honeymooned along the coast of ME.
My Dad's personality is somewhat of a people person (outgoing), he is pretty well organized (especially when it comes to papers and bills).
I missed a day of journaling so I am really writing this for Thursday :)
My first Love:
My first love is really Jesus Christ. I was blessed to have been saved at such a young age (6) and to have been raised in Church and in a loving family!
My first love as in a person is my husband! I am very blessed to have married the first person I dated. And to not have gone through all the heartbreak that dating around brings....he on the other hand was opposite. He had dated around and greatly regretted it....wishing I had been the only one he dated.

Lets see my intro...
My name is Laura May Davidson now Mattingly. I have bee married to my beloved Chris Mattingly for just a month now. I was born in VA and when I was 5 my parents, sister Angela and I moved to Southern MD where we lived for 12 years....there were also some very joyful additions made to the family there. Little did I know that just 45 minutes away lived my future husband but that is getting ahead of the story. In 2003 my family moved to AL. My Dad had been travelling alot for work and pretty much only spent weekends at home so his friend Joe helped him get a job in AL....and we all moved to AL....I lived with my family for 6 years in AL....Had alot of great times with friends and family in AL....Graduated Homeschool in AL, had some great jobs and bad jobs too (like the awful nursing home) :P I loved the nanny job I had there and my daycare job there....but that all paved the way for me moving here to NC....In 2008 around august I had a huge crush on a guy for several months and I reached a point with him that I knew we didn't have a chance together. He just wasn't mature enough for me nor would be be good enough for me. So at a revival service I gave it all to God and there was a lady who prayed for me. Several days later I joined an internet dating site called Christian Cafe....I remember the first day looking thru profiles and Chris's picture came up and I was instantly attracted. He was good looking and I also liked just about all I read on his profile :) I didn't want to be forward cause it was a big thing with me to let the guy make the first move....so I think I only sent him a wink on the website....and I think he saw it and 2 days later on August 25th he sent me a message which was basically small talk him asking me what town I lived in in southern maryland and he said to look him up on facebook....which I did and that is how we started talking. We spent many late nights talking till the wee hours of the morning on facebook chat. My parents really had no idea how late we talked to.....Thankfully I didn't have a job at the time that required me to be up really early....We started talking about meeting in person and it just so happened that my family was going on vacation to a small island near Myrtle Beach, SC....so Chris and I started scheming and planning.....Chris lived just 4 hours away from the beach :) So, I talked to my dad and he reluctantly agreed as long as he met withy Chris first....so we officially met in person on Oct. 9th, 2008. We spent a great few days together and an emotional parting when we had to part. I think it was then that I knew we were meant to be together forever. We dated for 14 mos long distance and then I moved to NC to be closer to him.....we were engaged in January 2010 and Married August 14, 2010.....God has richly blessed our relationship. I currently work at a daycare but look forward to hopefully being a stay at home wife in the next year and helping Chris with his website building business. We also have another side business....the link to that is in my profile. I greatly look forward to seeing all that God has planned for our life together :)

well today has been interesting.....I got a call a couple hours ago to come in for a job interview with a dr. from church and it went well. It seemed like in a way they were trying to get to know me better which I don't mind. It's a job as a medical assistant/receptionist :) which would be busy and an adjustment. But It would be good for me to learn something new.....
Yesterday was an all around amazing day....Church has been really good lately....but let me explain quickly....last week on Sunday Pastor Rob's dad died suddenly....of a heart attack so we have some of the former pastor's taking over for him this week.....and yesterday a preacher preached about defining moments....and my friend Serenity was there and she accepted Christ it was sooo awesome and something I have been hoping for for quite a while :) And if that didn't make me happy enough I checked my cell phone and there was a text from Chris from his conference in SC and he told me his friends Alan and his Fiancee Dail accepted Christ at the conference :) I felt triply happy :) I look forward to seeing the positive changes in these three ppl's lives. Alan and Dail have been living together for a few years Chris said and they plan to get married this year I think.
Serenity came to church with me last night and she went up for healing tho I am not sure what specifically. But she just needs prayer. she is a single mom who has custody of her daughter and is trying to get her son out of the foster system. Which is a big huge prayer request right now....She has a court case coming up on Feb. 5th.....She said the foster system wants her to sign over her rights....and that must feel like a slap in the face to a mother.....
More exciting stuff.....Amy, mom, Angela and I were in the kitchen today and Angela was like I might as well ask you while you are both here.....Angela asked amy and I to be bridesmaids :) I was beginning to wonder if she would ask..... :) I am excited :)
