Game Day Central-VBS 2007

Tonight is the first night of Bible school at our church. It is also the start of a very long week with a grumpy, sleep deprived 3 yr. old! But, we are looking forward to the week! It is also my first year helping out with Bible school! And silly me decided to volunteer to teach the 2's and 3's class. Thank goodness I won't be teaching by myself!

Our theme is Game Day Central: Where Heroes are Made. We learn about heroes in the Bible and have a lot of sports themed games and foods!

Last night was our kickoff parade and cookout. Different classes decorated 4 wheelers, scooters, golf carts, trucks and tractors. Most of them pulled a decorated "float" for the kids of all ages to ride on. The parade then pro ceded to travel to a neighborhood behind the church to invite children to Bible school. Abbie loves to go riding in the parade with her friends and managed to pick up some pretty cool goodies along the way. She got a basketball cup, a blow up football and a red baseball hat.

So, forgive me if I'm unable to blog very much this week. It's gonna be a busy one!

Meet the Jobs!

Hello! My name is Heather Job (pronounced like the book of the Bible not the dreaded place we go to make money to pay bills :) ). My dear friend Crystal got me interested in reading her blog daily (sometimes multiple times a day) and suggested I should start my own. I thought who would want to hear about my rather boring life, but I decided to give it a try anyway. So here it goes....
I met my husband Michael while working at Food Lion right after graduating high school. Michael was a manager and I was a cashier. Same store dating between managers and employees was a "no, no" so we tried to keep it a secret. Yeah right!
After high school graduation I went into the Dental Assisting program at CPCC in Charlotte, NC. I finished in 1998 and started working in Mooresville. After almost 10 years of changing jobs and realizing all dentist have the same micro managing problem I work for a dentist in the small town of Maiden(aka "the biggest little football town in the world"). I really enjoy what I do.
Michael and I married on February 2, 2002 at 2:00. Yes, 2,2,02 at 2:00! The reason we decided to get married on that day is because we started dating on February 2nd 5 years earlier! Plus who's ever gonna forget that date? We just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary this year which means we've been together for a decade now! WOW!
Our "gift from GOD" Abigail Marie Job arrived on October 14, 2003. She weighed 3'14 and was 17 inches long. You're probably thinking oh my gosh why was she so small! I had developed preeclampsia to the point where it was extremely dangerous for me. So on Monday night the 13th of October they decided to induce labor which resulted in an emergency c-section the next day. Abbie was 8 weeks premature. She was a fighter though, we went through some scary times during her 5 week hospital stay. But on Tuesday November 18th exactly 5 weeks from being born we were able to bring Abbie home. And now 31/2 years later we are loving every minute spent with her.

So, this blog hopefully will let everyone see and know the things going on in the life of the Job's!
