Vegas

We are home now. We had a good trip even if the boys were a little bored, okay a lot bored.

We were able to visit with Kim and her family, and see the new baby Owen. The boys loved being at Kim's house even if they had to play "true love" with a 4 yr old Maddy. They were very good sports about playing barbies with her. We went to the Children's Place to buy clothes and the boys were a great help, they carried Owen around as if he was the most precious thing that they had ever held.

While I was there I had the opportunity to attend a ti chi class with my mother-in-law, I have to say that for the first time in a long time I felt great. I am definitely going to try and find someone here that teaches it.

I drove around with Melanie looking for houses in their area, as it will make the mornings easier for us to be close to the school that we are going to register the boys in. They aren't happy about their new school as it is an international school and they will have some subjects in spanish, and that means that they have to start paying attention to what I am saying.

The thing that made the biggest difference though was that as I sat in the living room of my in-laws home, I got the most overwhelming feeling that it was time to go back to Vegas, that the Lord will prepare the way for us. At the same time Mike got the same feeling.

So that is the wrap up of the trip to Vegas.....

Interview Update

I had my interview with the Clark County School District on Monday, I feel like it went well. It was the priliminary interview. Now it is a waiting game to see whether or not they hire me. Now I need to do all the stuff for my license in NV, and then wait and see what happens.

Boring and Mundane..

It occurred to me this morning that I haven't updated this in a while and there might be one reader out there that is interested in what is going on in our lives...

So here it is in a nutshell, we are very boring and mundane right now. Mike is still at the jail, and loving what he does. I am teaching Spanish full-time and loving it. Mik well he is Mik and we love him for it. Mat is doing great so long as we don't talk about the surgery.

I do have an interview tomorrow afternoon with the Clark County School District (for those that read this and don't know where that is it is in Vegas). I am a little nervous, however I got a blessing and so I feel that if I am meant to teach there then it will happen..

....oh almost forgot the mohawk has made another appearance on Mat's head.

Blue and Gold

On Thursday we had Blue and Gold. The boys love scouts and so they have worked really hard the last couple of months, and both of them got somethings. Mat earned 3 beads, and Mik earned his wolf. Here are some pictures from that night...okay for some reason I can only post this picture
