Missing Person Alert

OK, so the title is a little exaggerated but I can not believe I have not posted on here in almost a month! I am not even sure how many readers I have but still!  Well, there is a lot to update you all on.

• The job interview.  It went well and I was pretty sure that I got the job.  But it's been a month and I haven't even heard from the place.  I was so bummed for the longest time but I went and applied at other places and again, either don't hear back or they tell me that they are not hiring at this time.  I applied at American Eagle Outfitters and they are hiring either this week or next for the holidays.  I am pretty sure that I will have that job.  I swear I go there like everyday to see if they have gone through all the applications.  I guess I am nagging but the manager was pretty pleased that I was so consistent.  It's crazy because I was so stuck on my monday-friday, 8-5 jobs that I couldn't even imagine working retail but since I don't really have weekends since I am not working at all, I don't mind so much.  But I guess we will know what happens when they finally start hiring.   It has been pretty tough though.  We get stressed with how are we going to be able to pay some bills but God has been there and provided for us every time.  There is no way that I could/ would deny Him.  He has proven Himself real to me way too many times.  Plus, I know that we are not the only ones struggling.  We actually have it made to some people out there who have been laid off their jobs.  They have lost their house, maybe even their families.  It's  a tough time but I try to just focus on the positive and not on the negative.  Thanks for all of those who have been praying for us.  I have no words to even describe how much that means to me.  And again, a special thanks to Emily. :)
  
• Family.  Well, one of my sisters just announced a week ago that they are expecting another baby!  I am so happy for them!  This is their fifth!  Ha, I guess my family just likes having big families.  And I love watching them all have big families. :)  I don't think I could have that many but I love having a million nephew and nieces.   It's awesome!  The other 8 are doing good too.  It looks like my younger brother will be getting married next year.  Him and his girlfriend aren't engaged yet but it looks like that will happen very soon.  I am so  happy for him.  Amanda, his girlfriend, is just a wonderful girl and she just loves him for who he is and I couldn't be happier.  The other day I was thinking about it and I teared up, (I am for sure the emotional one in the family).  It's just so great.    
  

Ok, it's getting late and I have a busy day tomorrow.  I hope everyone is doing great!  And I promise to not disappear for so long!  :)

Updates

It's about time I update here! Sorry, I have been gone for so long. Things have been so busy here that I don't even know what day it is sometimes. So here are a few updates:
- I still have no job yet BUT I am now selling Mary Kay! I am an official Mary Kay consultant and I have to say that I am very excited! I made my first order yesterday and I sold over $200 worth of stuff just from two people! And already I have a handful of people who said that they will host a party. It's all been lots of fun so far and I know that if I continue to work hard and keep this up and will continue to be fun and I could just work part time or better yet, only do this! And just so you know, just because we might not live near each other, I can still be your consultant. I will very soon have my own website and I will make sure to post it here. But you can just go to marykay.com and click the find a consultant and on the right side there will be a spot where you can type the consultant's name and you just type "sarah hock" and I will pop up with my contact info! OR you can email me at sarah-hock@marykay.com. :)
- Two weeks ago we were on a cruise! And let me tell you, that was SO much fun!! We went with a group and there was 8 of us all together and we were "the crowd". Seriously, when we all went somewhere that is what people called us. Kyle can already be the life of the party but you add four other guys like him and you have a loud crowd. But everyone loved it. It was a 5 day cruise and we went to Cozumel, Mexico and Florida Key West. We were suppose to go to Bahamas but it didn't work out...hurricanes! I will post pictures and tell more stories about that later.
- Kyle got an email from one of the positions he applyed for at Cox Cable here in town and they asked him to fill out another form and so he did and sent it off. So we at least heard something. :) We are trying to be optimistic with it all and hope and pray that he will get a job there!
- I had to take Precious to the vet because her skin has been so bad and it looked like she was losing hair! Well they ran some tests and it turns out that she is alergic to fleas!! Crazy! And the bad part is that we have yet to find good flea medicine for her. I talked with the vet and they gave me all sorts of meds for her and certain shampoos and recomended some other flea meds and sprays. I feel like she is already an old dog with all of these pills and all she has to take! But hopefully it will clear her skin.

Well, that is all for now. Again, sorry I haven't posted in so long and I will post pictures and stories about our cruise here soon!
