If you know me well, you know that I LOVE SHOES! Since being married my shoe purchasing has been DRASTICALLY reduced! I could count on my hands the new pairs I have bought. Since moving to NY I have bought two pairs of shoes in the almost 4 years! One was a pair of sketchers while in Utah that I got on clearance and the other was some flip-flops last month. My last pair that I bought before getting married finally got a hole all the way to the bottom. The only other pair that I have had was when JD surprised me and bought me them after going back to NYC after me telling him of the shoes that I had found and fell in love with.
Anyway, after deciding to move to Utah I realized I really didn't have any cute shoes to wear since the three pair that I have bought in the last 5 years all would not be suitable for Utah. While going through my favorite blogs one mentioned a great shoe sale, so I thought that I would just look, but I found two pairs of Simple Shoes that I really liked and both were under $10!! I got both of them for $19.90 and the regular cost would have been $120, plus I didn't even have to pay shipping. I was excited and still am especially since they fit!

Saturday at the Beach
So, we have had a relaxing day. We slept until noon (except JD got up to give the kids cereal and start a movie). Then we got ready to go to the Rockaway Beach, which is less than two blocks away. We thought we had better take advantage of it in the little time we have left to visit the Atlantic. Now he is grabbing some chinese takeout and a slice from Beach 129 Street. It is so nice to have that only 2 streets away, but it is very tempting especially the Pastry Shop.

Moving to Utah!
So, JD and I have been talking about what to do and we decided that the kids and I are going to move back to Utah without him for now. We are thinking of no later than July 4, so I can get Miah registered for school.
We are still waiting to hear about the managing apartments. It is so hard to wait and wait and wait. I just want to have everything figured out.
If the apartment manager thing doesn't work out, then we are going to stay in JD's parents basement. I'm also going to work part time for my sister. Thanks Michelle! I will keep looking for a job for JD and possible for me.
That is where we are at for now!

what's going on?

Well, we are not sure what is going on. I just really feel this pit in my stomach that we have to get things moving! I realized today that if we move into a school area that is year round, then Miah could be starting school next month . . .NEXT MONTH! That has me really freaked out!
We are still waiting to hear about several jobs that we have put in for. I also applied to two more jobs in the Salt Lake area for JD and they are with the army. He does not have to join, he would just be a civilian worked. One was for a painter, so maybe his MFA would help . . . haha.
We did not do anything over the weekend because we have been kind of sick, plus JD had to finish a drawing. He was asked by our district to draw the mission home for the mission president who will be leaving soon (see photo above). He got it done right before. Nothing like procrastinating! In fact I think we are the King and Queen of Procrastinating!
