Wow, it's been a long time! It seems like the days and weeks and months fly by without even starting! I honestly feel like we have skipped over a couple of months since being here on the West side of the Mountains. Still haven't made it over to see Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve, but hopefully we'll get a chance to see them soon!
John is still working for Terminix, but is less happy with them than he was before. He's warming up to starting to train for Police Departments again, and we're hoping to get a little insight from a guy in our Ward here who works for Redmond. He can give us extremely valuable information about the best way to go about testing and getting our foot in the door. JJ works really hard, usually up to 13 or 14 hours a day, which is really tiring, and he's ready for a more career-like position. He loves carrying a gun, and his Military background is good for this kind of job... we'll see what happens. Prayers would be appreciated as we embark on this adventure... again. I wish something would have worked out the last time, but maybe the timing is better this time around...
The boys are getting so big! Andrew has started reading and Mason is just as tough as ever! They love it when we have blue skies here so we can get outside and play. We've had pretty wonderful weather lately, so we've been able to take lots of trips to places like the Woodland Park Zoo and the Seattle Aquarium and Gasworks Park. Pictures of those to come later.
Mason turned 3 in the last few months! He's STILL potty training, but has now figured out how to do #2 in the potty, which has been so helpful! We've resorted to the shower if he makes messes in his pants, which he HATES, but hopefully he'll learn quickly so that won't take much time to get past. It worked for Andrew, we'll see if it works for Mason.
I have to admit that though I miss Wenatchee, being so close to family has been really nice. We've been able to spend a lot of time with Melissa and Ralph (JJ's sister and her husband) and their two little girls. The kids have had a GREAT time getting to know their cousins. :) The ward here is wonderful, too, and I'm starting to make a couple of friends. My cake making has really picked up as the ward members started to see some of my work, and that's been fun. This month I have Melissa's cake to make, then JJ's on the 1st of June, then Julie's graduation cake in June (can't wait to get down to Utah for that!), then I come back and make a birthday cake for KC's birthday, then a wedding cake for June 18th. And that's just what I know of so far! It's been so fun!
Anyway, so there ya go. That's the most recent stuff for us. Hopefully I'll get a chance to put some pictures up soon. Love you all!
