5 Months Later

WOW. My life has completely turned 180 degrees in just five months. So not to bother you with a recap of the last 172 days, I will let you know the highlights:

I had the blessing of going back to work at the Cache County Senior Citizens Center and finished it off with a bang. I helped create the Wisdom Plan that I am very eager to know how it goes.

Joseph finished his last semester of college and passed all his classes AND graduated in a snow storm. (You have to love Logan.) It was really great because his dad was able to fly out for the occasion.

Not only did Joseph pass and graduate, but while trying to finish school, he flew all across North America interviewing for a future career. After several offers, we have found ourselves excited to begin a fresh start with BAE Systems (a military defence contractor) in New Hampshire. So does he work for the government or military? No, the military goes to BAE and says, "we need a new missile guidance system." And BAE whips out this awesome gadget for a submarine or plane. So now what will Joseph be doing exactly? I still don't know. All I know is that he is super excited for next Monday - first day of work.

These past few months have also given us the opportunity to serve as Presidents of the Logan Institute's Married Student Association. What a great blessing in our lives. We have been blessed with so many great friends that we already miss dearly. And wow, I have absolutely loved being apart of great program that the Church has created for additional spiritual learning.

Also, in the last few months, we have been blessed with growing tummy - that is actually me. As of today, I am 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Last Wednesday, we found out that we are going to be having a little girl, but I think Joseph is still hopeful for a fluke on the machine's part and that really we will have a boy. But the nurse hasn't been wrong in 27 years, so I think he will need to get used to the idea.

So if that is not enough happening... I have successfully (but with many tears) flown with a one-way ticket with Joseph as we have moved to New Hampshire. We have now been here for four days and with each day, I love it more and more. Although, I will be honest when I say, that I am excited for spring to come and melt all this snow.

We are currently living in BAE Corporate Housing until our stuff comes in a few days. While we wait, we have been shopping for furniture and things for our new little home. It is perfect! Tiny but great. And it even has the New England mark above the door - an eagle. It is great. So if you are ever in these parts of the woods, give us a holler!
