Month of Maying

Wow what a crazy, crazy, crazy month!! I will be really honest, I do not want to repeat this month...ever!!! I don't know if it is pregnancy hormones making it worse, oh by the way those of you who don't know WE ARE HAVING A BABY (look at the post below.) Let me quickly do a recrap (haha, that was a typo but I like it.)
After graduation comes the stress of finding a job.Teaching jobs are already sparse but to make it worse is most teachers do not get hired until June-August, so let us begin the waiting game! It has been really hard to be patient, especially as your friends/classmates begin getting interviews and jobs.  I have had a couple of interviews and guess what....I got both jobs that I interviewed for, I was so excited. The first job was sixth grade in Ogden and the other first or second in North Ogden. After a lot of pondering I decided to take the first grade job in North Ogden. So, yup you better believe it, I am going to be a FIRST GRADE TEACHER!!! The best part is they are working with my pregnancy, I am so so so so grateful!!
    Next, we got thirty days notice to move out of the home we are living in, and having been living in for two years. Our home as been for sale for about two years (went on the market right after we moved in.) Slowly the price has been dropping and people have started coming more and more. I got really stressed about having to all the sudden pick up and move, and our plan (and nothing goes as planned) was to wait until I got a job so we would know where to move and then move out. Our goal was to be out by the end of summer...well summer has not even started yet and we have to move out. On top of that our landlord really wants out by May 25 so extra pressure and we are trying our best to be cooperative but it is really really frustrating. I know moving will be the best for us, every time we got a phone call they were showing the house I lost it!
     Luckily things have fallen into place, I am so grateful, we have said many many many prayers!! I signed my contract the other day, it is official I know where I will be teaching so we are looking at BUYING not RENTING a home in Harrisville!! It is a big step to buy a home but we are ready for that next step and with interest rates being how they are, we can not pass up this time to buy a home. Unfortunately we have to be out of our home before we close, so for about a month we are homeless!! Thankgoodness for good parents (on both sides) who are always there to take care of us!
     Some good did happen during May! Our friend Ashley Falcon came home from her mission in St. George Utah! She served a faithful mission and I'm sure blessed a lot of lives! Her family came and picked her up and of course stopped and saw us as well! Dallas and I were lucky enough to be able to spend all day Thursday with them, shopping, eating, and playing the kinect! We had so much fun, I love with they come and visit!! I also got to go horseback riding, which is always fun!! May has been stressful, very stressful, but there has been many blessings!
I am so grateful that everything is working out!!!
Not as many pictures but a few!!
