New jobs
Rob and I have been working our new jobs for a few weeks now. Mine is wonderful!! I'm a nanny for a 4 year old boy and a soon to be one year old girl. They are so sweet!! It is hard work though. I don't think people (men) other then moms' or people who have nannied full time really understand how much work it is. I seriously don't sit down all day. Keeping up with a very energetic boy and walking baby doesn't leave much time for sitting. I'm lucky if I get to get a meal. I LOVE it though. I love taking care of them and playing with them. I love that they are comfortable with me now and that when Emily is fussy because she is getting 8 teeth that she will come up to me and reach her arms up for me to hold her. I love that when I get there every morning Matthew gets excited and says, "Mandy is here!!!" I've found a job where I'm happy and content and look forward to going to each day.
Rob's job isn't so great on the other hand. He is a Special Response Officer which is pretty much a step higher then a security guard. He goes and patrols buildings. He isn't armed and really doesn't get to do anything. The worst part is the hours. Night shift, Midnight-8 am. And the other shift, 3p.m-11p.m. Those hours aren't so bad. It is just so hard not getting to spend time together! His days off are days that I'm working. We were so grateful to be able to eat dinner together a few nights ago that he had off. Luckily though, it is just temporary. He signed up for an EMT class!! We are so excited for him to take this and then become and EMT!! This will hopefully really help his goal of being a police officer!!

Cutest thing EVER!!
So last night I was in the living room with my mom and Rob was with Mack in his bedroom. So we can hear Rob playing Mack's guitar and they're just joking around making up songs and stuff and then we hear them actually working on a song. It was so cute to hear Rob and Mack singing together and using each others ideas. Here's the litte diddly they wrote together..... (Keep in mind, my little brother wrote most of the song, he's 9)
Everytime I think of him
My eyes start to cry
Gilbert the guinea pig was my good friend
Oh why'd he have to die
Why'd he have to leave me alone
With no one else to hold
Why'd he have to go so soon
Now I'm staring at the moon
Gilbert where'd you go
I need you here right now
I need you in my live
You're what keeps me alive
Why'd you have to kick the can
You never got to be a man
BE A MAN
How funny/depressing is that? :) The funny part is Mack or Rob never had a pet guinea pig. Rob is so awsome with Mack. It was just the sweetest thing listening to them jam together. What a good brother-in-law =]

Officer Ganem =)
Rob had his police officer exam today. The way it works is you go in and take the written exam and if you pass it you take the physical exam right after. So this morning Rob came over really early because his test was at 8 a.m in Seattle which is about a half hour away from my house. So he came over I made him some eggs (brain food) he ate and then left. I got a call around 1 this afternoon and he told me that he passed the written exam!!!! He said that everything he studied was on the test. He was able to answer each question confidently! He took the physical part an hour after he passed the written and totally smoked it!!! He had to do push ups, sit ups, and run. He did so amazing!! I am so proud of him!! Now we just wait for a letter in the mail telling him what to do next. The next step is back round tests and things like that which Rob will be totally fine with. He has never, smoked, drank, done drugs and never had a ticket. He has a clean back round obviously =) I'm so grateful for Rob's faith and determination. This is something he really really wants to do and he will. It has been great to see the gospel play apart in this too. We have been praying hard about this and Rob was able to get a wonderful blessing last night from one of our friends from the ward. We have been blessed so much and recognize Heavenly Fathers hand in all of it.
