Life Lately

     We received news early last week that the home we have hoping to purchase should be available by the end of the month!!! Woohoo! We are so stinking excited! The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs on the main floor with a basement framed for 2 more beds and a bath. It has a deck across the back that offers an incredible view of the place J and I have grown to love so much! We can't wait to add our own style to the place and make it into our home. There is a slight possibility that the sale would be postponed, as the sellers are waiting to close until they have some investments come through, BUT according to our last conversation with them, everything is right on track.

   J has a great job that he really enjoys. He is great at it, and in his short time with the company, has seen huge business growth as fruits of his labor :) I am very proud of his hard work and very grateful that the Lord has provided him a way to support our family! Back in May, J and I had decided we would head back out to Utah but when J told his company he planned on leaving, they asked him what it would take for him to want to stay, and in the end made him an offer we couldn't refuse. He is looking into finishing up school with his Master's Degree in PR/Communications within the next couple years.

    I am working part time at an out patient rehab clinic. I enjoy not feeling constantly overwhelmed and not having to do so much of the "dirty work," but I can't wait to finish with my RN! I'm going online for the next couple of semesters and then we will see where we are, as to where I finish (CO or UT).

   Our fur babies are doing great and are getting along just fine. They love walks around the lake (or just walks in general)  and exploring everywhere. They keep each other entertained, and in so doing, keep us entertained. They love playing at the Bark Park and love meeting other dogs. Poppy ( the mini dachshund) thinks she is just as big as all the other Labs and Huskys and Great Danes she palys with. She has no sense of "stranger danger" either. She acts as though everyone is excited to see and play with her. Abby is a little more reserved amd appreciates getting to slowly warm up to people. Once she's warm though, she is so loving and loyal. Abby always somehow seems to be in tune with how I'm feeling. It's like she can tell when I'm down or having a bad day and won't leave my side. We sure love our crazy mutts.

     For those wondering, J and I are prayerfully and anxiously working toward starting our family and have been for some time. We appreciate all of the prayers in our behalf. I will be sharing more on this matter in the near future so check back :)
