Changes are coming

Well there are going to be some changes coming our way. Jared put in his application for student teaching on Friday. He put in to student teach at Bingham High School, which is the high school me and my siblings all graduated from. We found out that we wont get official word until mid November (yuck), that is if Jared doesn't go ahead and call the principal & band teacher (although he is planning on calling them anyway). So... I called my mom and gave her the official word that we are going to move in with them. Yay. So now that we know kind of what is going on, we can start making preparations to finally move out of Cedar. Thankfully my parents have an 8 stall barn, so we will have a stall to store all our furniture and other possessions until we move again. So there is work to do out in the barn, as well as work my parents want to do on the house. The 2 bedrooms upstairs at my parent's still have the original paint/wallpaper and carpet that was there when we moved in 19 years ago. SO it's an excuse to do some upgrading in the house. And of course this move will be different than any other move we have made, because most of our stuff will be in storage. So packing is going to be a little more complicated because everything will need to be packed really carefully. Yes the move wont be until the end of December, but there is still lots that can be done. Other changes include me losing weight. I know I keep bring up my weight loss over and over between this blog and my personal blog, but it really is a goal I have. Recently I have had pictures taken of me by professionals, and it has really made me want to get rid of some weight. So hopefully some changes in this department. I am sure there will be some other changes coming our way, but I honestly am drawing a blank.

Latest

Just thought I would just give a little update on us and what's new. Well... Kaitlin moved out into her own apartment where she lives with a few other girls. She is actually living in the same complex that both Jared and I lived in when we met, and where I lived during my college years. Seems like she is liking being around people in the same stage of life she is. School started last week. Jared is in 3 performing classes this semester (band, orchestra, and jazz band) and a few other classes totaling 12 credits this semester. This semester is the last semester of course work for Jared, and the last semester we have to buy textbooks. YAY! Jared got a job a week or 2 ago working as a nanny. He watches 2 little boys (ages 2 and 6 months). He works 7-11 3 days a week. He is still working with the convocations as well. I am still working at Maverik. I am on a rotation schedule with 2 other women I work with. On this rotation I end up work many days in a row (which stinks), but every 3 weeks I get a Saturday & Sunday off. With Jared's schedule this semester it will be nice to get a weekend together every 3 weeks. The other nice thing is that I only have to work every 3rd Sunday. We will be going on a 10 day vacation with my family right after finals are over. We will be going to Orlando Florida to go to DisneyWorld and Universal Studios Orlando. My dad figured this would really be the only chance for all of us to go there together, because eventually Jared and I will have kids and Jared will be working in his career as a Band Teacher. Anyway, we are so very excited to to go on a real vacation. We haven't really gone on a vacation since our honeymoon. Every other trip we have taken has been to visit family, or we have gone camping. We can't wait. Jared submitted his application for student teaching recently, so we just have to wait and see if the school he put down will accept him. We are hoping to student teach up in the Salt Lake area, simply because music is a bigger deal and there will be more job opportunities for both of us up north. So... we are going to be moving out of Cedar City just after our vacation. We will most likely be moving in with my parents during student teaching. It's not something we really want to do, but know it will be a huge benefit to us. We will be able to save money during that time, which will help in paying off the loan Jared has and getting a nice down payment on a new place for us. All of this is still up in the air until we know where Jared is student teaching. Well... I think that is what's happening with us. Just keep plugging along, working hard and all that good stuff.
