Goals

So I am going to commit to updating my blog once a week. I have never been good at journal writing and I know it is important. There are so many exciting things going on right now that i need to document them somewhere! This is a good place for me and I hope I can continue.
So this last week Paul has completed training and is really enjoying his new position. We went to register him at LDS business Collage and found out that if you miss 2 semesters in a row you have to completely re-apply! So he did that and hopefully we did it in time for him to start next month. He still has to select his classes after they accept his application.
Andrew and I have been hanging out at home most of time, i have been looking for a Nanny position or something that would allow me to make some money and stay home or keep him with me. I do have the opportunity to help a good friend out this week with some project for her business, that will help a bit with some money. I am also working on an idea and several examples on my sewing machine that i hope to have up on Face Book in a couple of weeks. I hope people will find interest in it and I hope it will help me become a stay home Mom with some income. I really enjoy making things and being creative.
This weekend we are going to a Ward Camp out! It will be so much fun and Andrew's first time camping. I hope he enjoys it! It will be nice to take advantage of the beautiful weather here and I cant wait to spend time with my Family and friends. We are so grateful to be back in Utah, we are enjoying ourselves so much and fell a lot less stress. Paul is so much happier and excited to do activities and enter the next chapter of our lives together. This move has truly been an answer to our prayers!  Until next time.

Utah

Well, we made it to Utah! It was a long and eventful trip and Andrew was a trooper. He was so good through the whole ride, we could not be more proud.
We have got all our stuff in our condo in West Jordan and took a look around to see what condition our tenants left the place in. Not too bad but they did a horrible job at patching holes and trying to touch up the paint on the doors. The problem is the paint did not match so we have a very patchy doors and splotchy walls. We are giving our little place a face lift with new paint and already have our master bedroom painted.
It was a fun project and took longer than we thought but we are happy its done, it looks great!
We went to the Zoo this last week and Andrew had a BLAST!
He loved looking at all the animals and even laughed at a few as they ran past him. The animals were very active and the weather was so nice! I do not miss the Texas humidity at all! We practically live outside now, its warm with cool breeze. We spent the day yesterday at the water park at Cherry Hill with some friends and it was so nice to catch up. Andrew loved the slides and splash pool but i think his favorite was in the lazy river in a tube with Mommy and Daddy. He LOVES The water. He went on a big slide with Mommy and Daddy and was not scared at all! He smiled when we got to the bottom and the life guard said that most babies his age are crying when the slide is over, so brave! 





Paul starts his job on Tuesday and is very excited to get going. Hopefully this will work out to be a stable and secure job for us until he finishes school, we have heard a lot about the company and every one has said its a great and solid place to be. We are enjoying this new change in our lives and are excited to see Andrew grow and thrive, he has got his big top tooth since we got here and is about to cut is second one and his bottom teeth are fully in now. I am sure by the end of this next week he will have 4 teeth. :)
