just a life update...

--Our house is SOLD! Well, in the process. It will close on February 27th. So in just two weeks! We will be going up soon to empty out our garage which is full of half the stuff we own. And will some how try to fit it all in the garage we have here. Hoping to either find a great house soon or build one.

--We just spent two weeks up north while daddy stayed home and worked. We spent some time in Veneta visiting friends and my in-laws and most of the time at my parents house. My dad had a cataract surgery on each of his eyes so I went up to help him and my mom out. The kids also got to go to Grandma and Grandpa's (Hubs' parents) Valentine Grandkid party which was so much fun. And Hubs' brother and his wife had their first baby while we were up there. The day before we left to come home, I got to go and snuggle her for a bit. They also had quite the snow and ice storm while we were there. We were gone for 16 days and we are glad to be home with daddy. We missed him!

--Hubs' job is great. He is loving it, but hasn't gotten into a comfortable place with it yet, which will come with time. He has finally been able to do some of the stuff he loves like making contact with clients and working on growing the firm. He loves that there isn't a lot of office politics since it is all women working there. They all work part time and none of them are competing for a higher paying/better/seniority job. They are all just mothers working part time to help their families out. They are all so nice there. He loves the atmosphere and the other partners he works with.

--Homeschool is good. It can be really difficult but I really love it also. We haven't done a whole lot in the last couple of weeks because of traveling but thank goodness it is just kindergarten and preschool so we can do alot of other things that teach them things and not just the basic subjects. Mac most of the time has a bad attitude about it before we start, but once we get going he enjoys it. He was the same for going to school and taekwondo, he hated getting ready and going but once there, loved it.

--Both Hubs and I have callings now. I got one the week after we moved in and I am teaching CTR 7 in Primary. Hubs just got called (even though he has been here since November) as Scout committee chairman for the stake or something like that. We LOVE the ward and we have been able to make friends so easily here. Everyone is so friendly and inclusive. There is a stake play group that we go to every week and also a music group that someone from our ward puts together every week.

--We have been praying for snow here otherwise we will be in a drought this summer. They are several feet behind on snow. The farmers rely on that snow to water their crops so it is important.

That's all I can think of now. Will be updating with photos soon!
