Well, we've been moved in with JJ's parents for about a month now. It's been difficult in some ways, but overall has been relatively easy to adjust to. JJ got a job pretty quickly with Terminix and has been working with them for about 3 weeks now. This week he is spending most of his time in Phoenix taking classes and getting his certification. He's had a series of tests he's had to study for and has passed 2/3 of them so far. One more to take next week in Olympia. So far this job seems like it will be good. I found a job working at the local Denny's. I loved waitressing when JJ and I were first married, so I figured I could give it a go again. It works out nicely because I don't start work until JJ's parents are home from work, so they are able to watch the kids during our overlap time. JJ usually gets home around 7 or so from work. He's working 12-hour days again, which isn't great fun, but should slow down when Winter gets here.
The boys have LOVED being with Grammy and Grampy. They have fun outings to the park with Grampy and the dogs and Grammy is a great book reader! They have really enjoyed being here and have adjusted well. They still don't understand why we're not going back to our house in Wenatchee, but hopefully they'll get it soon. Mason said last night "Mommy, I want to go home." I didn't know how to get it across to him that this is our home for now... oh well. They have been so good and have been such a joy for all of us.
I'll be posting lots of pictures as another post. Just some things that have been happening and all. Andrew's birthday will be one of those. He was so cute! I can't believe he's already 4! I forgot to take a picture of his birthday cake, so you probably won't see that, but it was fun to make it. He wanted a Mario cake just like uncle Ben's and was a little bummed when it wasn't 2 feet tall. I had to scale it down for the 8 people who were here :) A little different story than when I made the cake in Utah for Ben!
Anyway, sorry about the length of time it took me to get back on here. I'll get pics up soon!
Yeah Cindy I'm glad you were able to find a job. It's awesome everything is working out for you.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Happy Happy late Birthday. I can't wait to see more pics.
We sure miss you guys.
Much love
