Well there hasn't been much to blog about in the last few weeks. Our lives seem to have fallen into a fairly regular schedule consisting of work and homework. One thing I should mention is that Aaron lost his job 3 weeks ago. He worked for a telemarketing company on behalf of a resort in Park City, called Westgate Resort, calling qualified individuals to invite them to the resort to listen to a presentation about timeshares. Well 3 weeks ago the CEO of Westgate Resort flew into Park City and closed the timeshare division of that resort, all the employees lost their jobs etc. Aaron's company, CMS, had only one client, Westgate Resort. So obviously CMS no longer exists. The kicker about this whole thing is that Westgate Resort owes CMS around $20,000 and CMS owes us 3 weeks worth of pay. Aaron & I have met with and discussed the situation with the owner of CMS who assured us that we would be paid in some way. (That was 2 weeks ago.) After several phone calls Aaron was finally able to get in contact with his employer and let him know that we would be happy accepting some assets of the company as our payment. We are scheduled to meet with him tomorrow evening at 6:00. We are hoping that we can, if not money, get the couch from the office which is a brown, leather 3-seat couch. We're not even really sure if it will exactly fit in our apartment but it would certainly be nice to have some more seating available outside our current little love-seat.

I'm so sorry about Aaron's job! So sad! Hopefully you get the money they owe you, and if not, then the couch would work too I guess. Is he going to try to find another job, or just concentrate on school for now? Good luck. This economy is rough.
Wow, what a bummer! But hey, getting paid in couches is kinda neat. Let us know how it turns out.
That is crazy! He did NOT lose his job for being late after all! If you get a couch, it will have a unique story to go w/ it! Is Aaron getting a new job, or just going to focus on school?
I am sorry Aaron lost his job. Get the coach and more! I wanted to comment on the sleeping post too. Forget waiting up. Take it from me, married to the night owl off all night owls. Go to bed now while you can! Sleep in your comfortable bed and enjoy the early sleep before you have kids and you are both up all night sometimes! You never know you might wear off on him! Just ask Hapaki--he goes to bed now earlier than he ever has!
Codee thinks I go to bed really late....it's actually that I'm just up way earlier than her...you know, doing chores...cleaning the bathroom, shopping, getting things ready for the children.....you know, good early morning husbandry duties. She just never knows that cause she's "sleeping."
