First I must advise all of you to never buy a pet from the newspaper. We started to get attached to our first Cockatiel Pina and then he croaked. We are not sure what happened and I tried to cover it up by finding a bird that looked just like him so my youngest son would not be crushed. I finally figured he could handle the truth and we made Bailey a part of our Dr. Doolittle family...LOL See him below.

To add to the stressful Holiday I was let go from my job on the Monday following Thanksgiving...no warning and it was a terrible shocker. Yet as always I got up and moved on and had tons of interviews. I had to decide between 3 truly incredible job offers and I know that I chose the right fit for my family and I.
So enough of the bad news! Here is some wonderful news our closing on the new house will be on either the 22nd or 23rd so we will be home for the Holidays...we are so excited and looking forward to that.
