Sick and Miah's first "BIG" girl sleep over

All of us have been sick. I think we are sick from going and going this past week, not getting home until 2:15 am on Monday night/Tuesday morning, and having the temperatures go up and down. What happened to me that I am exhausted at 2:15 am???? JD and I joke about how when we were friends and Laura ( one of my roommates at USU) went to work at 4 am we will still up talking. I guess this is what it is like to have two kids and be 30! Yes, I'm still having a hard time with being 30!

Miah had her first big girl sleep over tonight. I hope it didn't get her expectations too high that every sleepover will be like this. Martha and Dennis picked Lily and friends up from school in a limo. Miah wanted to see Lily's school, so she went along in the "biggest car I've ever seen". She was really funny about it. Then they dropped off stuff for the slumber party, picked up several more girls and went to a hibachi restaurant. Martha and Dennis said she was so funny watching the guy cutting the food and throwing it around. Now, she is upstairs sleeping with the big girls along with all the other birthday slumber party things like makeup, etc. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. My little girl is getting "BIG"! First limo ride and a dinner in NYC (without us).

Back from Upstate NY

Just thought I would let everyone know that we are back from upstate NY and JD's interview! All went relatively well except for the tire blowout on the interstate while going to his interview. Luckily we allowed plenty of time and got there with time to spare.

JD felt really good about the interview. It is for a pool of teachers that they like to interview before hand, then when something opens up they already have people to choose from. So we really don't know when we would ever hear from them, but it does feel good to have the first interview done. JD said that the committee members were all very encouraging to him and were trying to give him ideas of how to get some experience and how to make a career. One man told him that he did adjunct jobs at different schools for 5 years before getting on full time. It is nice to hear things like that and that we need not feel too discouraged.

We just are going to keep plugging along and see where things take us. I just hope that Heavenly Father needs us somewhere special and soon. I worry about where we will put Miah in school next year.

Thanks to the Colliers for having us in their home! We appreciate it! It was also nice to see Palmyra again. I love it there. It is such a neat, sacred place. It was also great to get out of the city!

Boo To You!

Happy Halloween!!

Interview

Today, JD received a call from Erie Community College to come for an interview. So, it looks like we are going upstate this weekend. His interview is for Monday, Nov 3. The job is for an adjunct job. Keep him in your prayers please!

The kids are so excited to have their new bed! This is Isaac's first big boy bed!
