updates....

I have been waiting until all negotiations were over to spill the beans. Yes I have a new job with Primary Childrens Medical Center at their centerville/bountiful clinic location. It has been 2 weeks of nonstop, unknown, fear, excitement etc. It all started 2 weeks ago when I got a call that they had a position and had spoken to my supervisor at Mckay Dee and wanted to interview me. Hmmm, me? really? ok so I did. Then I spoke with my district and informed them of what was happening. Then I started my fulltime job at the schools in a new office, new assignment. So I unpacked boxes. Then I got an offer from PCMC, a good one. One that will work well for our family and have the flexibility we need right now. Plus, its new, exciting, challenging. So, I called my district again, ugh hard times. They were supportive and said we will get back to you. So I waited and went to work not quite sure what to do with myself. I hid in the corner when PCMC called to talk about starting (heehee that is just a comical relief.:) I got the call from school yesterday that I may sign separation papers. I start PCMC on Tuesday. Wow that wraps it up...what a two weeks!

Next, Anasten.
She started Kindergarten last week (pictures to come, the camara isn't loading) and LOVES it! Her teacher had a baby this weekend but will be back in two weeks, I know I was shocked too. Anyways, she is making friends, and learning the ropes in her new school.
Favorite Quotes:
"Wow Ms. Joy I don't think you are gonna make it!" (referring to her duedate)
"I will just have to see which learning shoes fit my mood."
"Mom you don't always have to learn your friends names right when you meet them."
and then the infamous boyfriend story....
Anasten informed us yesterday that she had a boyfriend named Ben (the neighbor boy that is in her class.) We asked for her definition of a boyfriend, it seemed like the best place to start. "well there are two kinds, one that is a friend and a boy, the other is when you have to be in love." So we inquired as to which kind this was. "Oh he is my boyfriend." We asked if she felt like she loved him? "Well no, but he needs a girlfriend so I decided I would do it. I told him we have to see each other everyday and talk." Even longer story short it is established that she is too young to have a boyfriend and she will be his friend that is a girl. Then we reviewed personal space and respecting our own and other peoples bodies. Woo...here we go!

Next, Luke....
Luke got to start kindermusik yesterday. It was such a fun time. He is more timid then Anasten and was pretty happy to sit and cuddle with me being a bit nervous. He was starting to warm up and loved dancing with the scarves. He did the funniest thing when it was time to clean up the bells. The teacher set the bucket in the middle, he proceeded to pick it up and walk around collecting bells. Then he just walked into her kitchen to put the box on the counter. We all giggled very hard, I think he might be a little OCD.:)

Next, Josh....
Did indeed get layed off. After many many warnings, and several false dates, it did happen on August 20th. He is working on alot of loose ends right now including; caring for the kids, starting his masters degree, applying for jobs. Yes he is a bit busy but taking it is stride, doing an awesome job for our family, and keeping his faith right in check.

Wow that is the longest post ever, now I better get my camara fixed!
