Hello Family!

Hi everyone! I see my mom already got the word around. So... "Hi people!" Anyway, here's a picture of Kyle at the Knob Noster State Park. I'm sure you're giggling because I just said Knob Noster... but it's where we live! We actually just say "Yea we live in Knob", and I'm sure that sounds even worse but that's what they say around here. So tomorrow is someone's last day at work. She's "one of us" so I made cupcakes. I guess everyone is bringing in something tomorrow, and I didn't want to be the odd one out. Not for sure if anyone knows, but I'm working for Embarq telephone right now. Actually, I'm not suppose to say Embarq anymore because we are now CenturyLink. CenturyTel bought us out earlier this year and the merger just went through July 1st. Now the reason I said she's one of us is because "technically" I'm not an employee of CenturyLink and neither is she. We're contractors, which means I'm employeed by a temp agency called Aerotek, and my contract ends Sept. 30th. So at the end of my contract I will be offered 1 of 3 options. One, they will offer me a position as a full time CenturyLink employee; Two, they will extend my contract up to 12 more months; Three, I won't get number one or two, they'll just end the contract and Aerotek will most likely offer me another temp job. I'm hoping for a contract extension, even though employees get paid much better and they get benefits. I'd rather not have to commit myself to something right now. Especially because I'm going back to school in the fall. Oh, the second picture is of my kitchen, part of the living room and off to the right starts the hallway. The pictures will probably be quite random for the next week or so, just so I can get all the ones we've taken since we've been here posted. Well, the important ones at least. Anyway... it's late and I have to work in the morning (YAY FOR FRIDAY!) so I will try to post again tomorrow. So until next time, have a great morning, afternoon and evening Michigan! -Jess
