Clark Household Update
The search for a job still continues for Dustin, but we have had some positive news. The Halliburton job has had some movement, and if all goes well he can go in for the "2nd interview" in a couple weeks. Another guy he worked with at Gables, Gary, gave him a job lead with a company he was with Martin Harris. Gary this week switched jobs to another company. Basically what I am trying to say is that opened up 2 possible job opportunities. Please continue to pray that something comes up for us soon. We are continuing to be positive, and have started back to church. My childhood church St. Peter's United Methodist got a new preacher, and we really like him. He is an excellent preacher and motivational speaker. He really knows how to take the word of God, and inspire everyone in the congregation. We know God has a plan for us, but we hope the lesson he wanted us to learn from this is soon coming to an end. We are both ready to get back to a normal, somewhat predictable routine. So please please please keep us in your daily prayers!
I am continuing to work strongly with my key accounts Charming Charlie, Francesca's, and Stage Stores. I am also working the Handy Hardware show again this year. It is in San Antonio this year. Dustin, my Mom, and I are heading up to Boerne Wednesday to set up Thursday morning for the show. I am representing more vendors then ever this year at the show, so I need all the help I can get! My Mom has helped me the past 3 years, and I am so grateful she still is willing to help out. I am excited that Dustin is coming this year too. Last year I cussed out a wagon I was putting together for about 30 minutes, and even threw a screwdriver across the booth. I got a lot of stares, and even one brave individual who asked if I needed help. I think my handy man will have better luck, and I won't look like a complete weirdo to the other vendors. I am working this week trying to get all my "ducks in a row" for my show.
Last weekend we were in Boerne, relaxing, and helping Charlie my brother-in-law watch my nephew. My sister went to Colorado to visit her friend Page, and Ryder was left alone with Dad. We had a blast! He is growing up so fast...and I mean Ryder, not Charlie. He is starting to talk in sentences, and it is hilarious to listen to him talk. Since the boys were trapping the exotics in the evenings, Ryder and I hung out at the house. I made dinner on Saturday, and gave him some sausage and mashed potatoes. He took a bite of his potatoes and said "mmmm this is good CC". I just cracked up laughing. Ryder has decided he is going to rename everyone, and I am Aunt CC. We were also playing in the pool Saturday afternoon, and Ryder noticed one of Dustin's tattoos on his arm. He starred at it for a minute and then goes "what is that?". My response is "that is white trash", and Dustin said "don't ever do it, it's a tattoo". Then we both just cracked up. He is such a funny little man. Here are a couple pictures of Ryder.
Last but not least...Trigger. We all know that Trigger is what we like to call "special". He never seems to surprise me. I was laying out in the pool on a float trying to get some sun. I then noticed a skinny shadow blocking my sun, and following me around the pool. Then came the snorting and crying, and I figured out it was Trigger. I pulled the float over to the beach and got off because I did not know what he wanted. He proceeded to get on my float. Dustin then floated him around the pool. He just sat there, like in the picture below. For the rest of the weekend NO ONE could get on the float, simply because it was already occupied with a "sun bathing vizsla".
Millie was happy to finally get some rest, and a full belly thanks to Ryder. My sister's dog Lila came, and her and Trigger "rode the short bus" together. All they do is play chew face, and chase each other. This weekend was kind of a vacation for Millie, since Ryder was always dropping food and Trigger had Lila to play with. Lila this weekend ate an abundance of dead frogs. She loves them, and its so gross. We have sticky pads in the garage to catch field mice. A frog got stuck to one of the pads....and so did Lila. Her face must got stuck to one of the pads, and she left the mangled sticky pad and dog hair on the garage floor. I really wish we could have seen this in action!
That is about all that is happening around here! I will try to write more soon!

Keep Praying
Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your prayers and support over the past months, but we need them to continue. Dustin has had a couple opportunities come about lately, but we still need all the support we can get. I will let you know as soon as we hear something.
Here is a quick laugh for everyone. My brother-in-law Charlie sent this to me on Friday, when I was stuck in the Atlanta airport. It made me laugh so hard I thought I would share. He is such a mess...literally!

Avery Brooke
Miss Avery Brooke Forrest finally made her appearance on June 24,2010. Of course she decided to come out and join us while I was at market, so I did not get to see her till she was over a week old! She is so stinking cute, and a good baby! She looks a lot like Chris, however she has her mother's best attributes :). She is such a sweet baby, and very alert. Dustin and I went over to the Forrest household to cook steaks on Saturday. I spent most of the time holding Miss Avery. Below is a picture of the sweet baby girl. I stole the image from Facebook, so it may be a little blurry.

Come on with your bad self already!
Well it looks like I still have a couple follwers, at least 3. haha. My title to this post has 2 meanings really. My best friend Amber is 9 months preggers, and is going to pop any day now! I really want "baby girl" to come on any day now, so I won't be at market when she decides to make her apperance. We all want to meet her, so she better hurry it up already! I am in charge of the hosiptal bag, just in case she decides to come when they are at work. Hopefully I will be getting a call in the next couple days to head to Texas Woman's hospital with bag in hand!
The second meaning is for my poor husband. He is still despertly looking for work, turning every rock over he can. We get somewhere with Halliburton, and BP blows a well up. Some construction companies are starting to hire again, but the construction market is so saturated with unemployed people it is making it super compeitive. Please pray that something will come along soon! Can we catch a break already!!!!

GO GO GO.....
This pretty much sums up why I NEVER write on my blog....and no one reads it anymore! We have been so super busy with weddings, baby showers, and just working in general. Dustin is still traveling to Lufkin to work with his Dad. My work has been pretty busy, and we are gearing up now for June market. This past weekend we helped throw Chris and Amber a baby shower/crawfish boil. She got a TON of stuff for her baby girl that is going to be born in June. Since she is due June 22, and I will be at market, me and baby girl are having a talk, so she will come early :).
Dustin has still been talking with Halliburton weekly, and we are PRAYING something comes through soon! Every week seems like we may be either getting closer to an answer, or taking a step back. HR with these big companies seem to take FOREVER. They see you as just another number, so they really do not care if you are REALLY wanting a job or not. Please keep praying for us, we need all the help we can get!
This next weekend my best friend from high school Stephanie is getting married. I am a bridesmaid, so we will be busy again! Friday I have a bridal luncheon, and the rehearsal dinner. Then Saturday I will be in town all day, so Dustin is going to ride in with my Mom, Courtney, and Ryder for the wedding. I am just excited that is here in town, so we can sleep at our own house! We are both getting tired of living out of suit cases by this point, but are very thankful Dustin's Dad has work for him on the side.
Our next 3 weekends are booked with weddings and my Grandpa's 85th birthday party. Hopefully by the end of May things will start to slow down a bit around here!
