On the way out the door...

I wanted to share some good news. You know the interview that didn't happen?! Well we've still been in contact with the manager through Joseph's employment agency, and they are interested in hiring him! (starting with an intership possibly, I don't really know the details are yet to be hashed out) The manager is all for it but we can't go forward until the owners are back in town from spring break, which is perfect because here in a few minutes we will be on the road to Idaho, wahooo! So things are looking up finally, and we couldn't be more excited to see our Idaho family.

PS I have had a nasty cold which explains the lack of posts. I sure hope I am over the worst of it, I always get sick when I get time off work, darn it.

If you are family in Idaho see you soon, if you are here in Washington see you later, if you are elsewhere we'll be back. :)

NEWS!!

Joseph's resume' made it to a few dealerships around here, and one called him yesterday, asking him to come in and fill out an application. After the call, he called the employment agency, like he was asked to and they have since stepped in and helped with communication with the dealership so not only is he filling out an application but Joseph has an interview tomorrow after teaching seminary! He will be accompanied by one of the agents working his case (the main agent we talk to is also legally blind, thus he cannot take Joseph to his interview)

Happy thoughts and prayers please, he is a little a lot nervous.

** update: the manager was a little too busy for an interview today but the application is filled out and turned in, an interview to be scheduled soon I hope! **

Our life continues on in craziness

* My Great Grandmother W passed away as we were traveling back from Gma B's funeral.

* I got a job yesterday at The Tri- Cities Academy of Ballet and Music. Teaching Piano.

*Joseph and I were called to teach in Primary again, this time the Valiant 9's, this should be an experience we've never been in senior primary.

* This is my last week of teaching swimming lessons. Summer is almost over and School is creeping back in.

yup.

more later.

Being VERY Thankful!

Seeing as it's our 3 year 1 month anniversary today I wanted to have a post of good things and being thankful for lots of stuff in our lives right now.

* I am thankful for my amazing husband! Who wakes me up in the morning on his way out to tell me I am beautiful, Say I love you and give me kisses before he goes... like this morning ;)
*I am SO incredibly thankful for Joseph's employment. He is starting his career and he LOVES it!
* I am thankful for the two men, Baldy and Coach who are fighting to hire me.
* I am thankful for the weather and that Joseph is adjusting to it very quickly...it gets really hot (I love it, but I was worried about how he was doing when it was 104 last week)
* I am thankful for a sweet couple who have agreed to let me use their swimming pool to teach lessons this summer. Oh, and clean it too!
*I am thankful for Zyrtec.. it allows me to be helpful with outdoor chores & projects that I couldn't do before.
* I am thankful for a wonderful meeting with our caseworker. We were nervous and things went so great!
*Thankful for wonderful family in both Idaho and Washington, and lots of other places too.


Well I know there are a lot more I could list but I have already put up a few posts today... so that's good for today... now off to do some creative budgeting to see how we can come up with our adoption transfer fee and the cash to fix our car too (albeit slowly, but as soon as we know what we need it should go much faster!!)

All done...

I am all done updating today, I know if some of you have been checking our blog often I have made like a million changes.. all done. I fixed my label cloud! yay! I changed the background,and font and put up too many posts for one day... haha well finished ...for today! :)

P.S.
If school budget allows I will have two, count 'um two jobs at Kennewick High. What you ask? A marching band tech and an accompanist. Yea my plan worked,they can't live without me. They (band director we'll call him "Baldy"- don't worry he likes it, and Choir director let's call him "Coach" - he does coach football) are working to make sure I will come back next semester and get paid!! yay!

Joe is doing good at work too. He enjoys his job. He is acclimating to the Kennewick heat very well. He does get wobbly but that's it! That is the only MS symptom he deals with right now. And I am working on getting him in to see the Chiropractor/Natural Path/ Nutritionalist I saw here. We feel so good about it, I hope for results just as good.

So cross your fingers for both of us! :)

Poll results

So I kept looking at our side bar and feeling guilty that I hadn't revealed anything after the poll had closed. We were waiting until we could break the news to our parents first. Nothing is set in stone but Joe has applied to the Lithia Honda location in Kennewick Washington. Yes, that is my hometown, but that actually had very little to do with the decision to apply for that location. We REALLY wanted to be in Boise, that way we could be halfway between both of our families. Then we were thinking seriously about Springfield Oregon. Then we got in contact with the man that gave Joe the job offer and talked about all these locations and he suggested Kennewick that it is one of the locations that he is over and it is really the best choice for us right now. Then the more we thought about it the better we felt. We feel that Kennewick is the place for us. We should be hearing soon from Lithia.

Crazy week

Sorry not much time to update, will update again in a couple weeks.. this is why:

this week is finals week, at the end of this week Joe's brother is getting married, and next weekend we are moving!!! And in 3 weeks I start school again!

Good news- Joe got a job offer from Lithia motors, for after he graduates!!! yey, so excited to get out of Rexburg... in a year?!?!?



Well until next time... oh and I think that we are going to make our blog private for safety reasons so please send me you email addresses so I can add ya'll as readers! josephshaylee@gmail.com
