I can't believe June is almost gone! Well, as always life continues to be extremely busy! Thomas is busy getting packed and ready to head to Nashville, Tennessee tomorrow for an international barbershop competition. He sings with a men's barbershop choir called Spirit of Phoenix and they are really good. I've gotten to go to several of their rehearsals, and they all sang to me one night. I was their "inspiration" as I was the only female in the room. It was kind of fun having a bunch of old men make romantic faces at me. Of course, Thomas' was the best romantic face, but I'm probably biased or something. But I'm really excited for him to get to go and compete and have a wonderful time over there! But I will miss him while he's gone. :(
As for me, I'm keeping busy also- there's lots to do as far as packing up the house that I've made a lovely long list of, however not a whole lot has gotten done on it yet... ;) I did manage to get the bedroom cleaned last week- and it looks amazing. But I have grand plans for this week as Thomas will be gone and I won't have much else to do but all the things on my lovely long list. :)
Thomas has also continued the job search up in Rexburg- he's really trying to find something that will let him work part time from home, so he's been investigating a lot of phone/customer service type jobs. He hasn't found anything concrete yet, but he has found a few leads that look promising. In the meantime, he's still selling shoes like MAD so if you know any Elders that are going out soon, or are out already and need an awesome pair of shoes- you know who to call! www.MissionShoe.com
My baby sister is up in Wyoming... and we miss her a lot!!! I hear from her every now and then and it sounds like she's having a great time, between falling off horses and getting snowed on in the middle of June. I am excited to get to maybe see her a little once we get up to Idaho- we'll only be about an hour and a half away from here up there! Of course, it would be nice to see some PICTURES... HINT... HINT... ;D
So on Saturday Thomas and I made a shopping day out of it and we went to Burlington Coat Factory to find me a good, warm winter coat (we had a gift card). While we were there, we discovered that Burlington has a whole huge baby department- something unbeknownst to either of us previously. WOW! We have just had so much fun registering and getting ready for Baby to come- we are way excited!
In the meantime, Thomas is feeling SO ready for us to just be moved and settled already! He is way excited to finally get to go back to Idaho, and he's tired of living here in the heat. I think he's starting to realize that we're leaving a lot of family and friends behind though. I am definitely looking forward to it as well, but I am going to miss my family terribly. It will be an adjustment- but I know it is the right thing for our little family. Also I am excited about the highs being in the 80's instead of the 110's. :)
Good luck with your list and Thomas being gone. Whenever Brian goes on business trips i always have to have a good cry when he's gone. Especially when i was pregnant. Maybe you are a stronger person than I. :) If you guys need a pit-stop on the way up to ID, we have room and a bed and food. Oh, and a baby that doesn't really cry.
ReplyDeleteThat definitely will be a huge change. Thats one of the reasons I don't really want us to move to Salt Lake for David's PA program is because I will leave everyone i've ever known friends and family wise down here. It'll be harder too for you because you'll have a little one. Hopefully your mom will fly out to help. I wish you guys the best of luck. Looks like a fun adventure! :)
