New Job

I am a little late on this one but Jeff has a new job! He has now been an employee of ENTRIX for about a month. They are an Environmental Consulting firm and he is now their recruiter. He first interviewed back in February but the whole thing was a very long process so we never thought much of it. They kept calling him back though and interview after interview, eventually offered him the job. It has been such a blessing though and something we really needed. This job opportunity has provided so much for us and was an answer to our prayers. He is only 5 minutes away from home now too so he can come home for lunch, which has been wonderful! His hours are also more flexible which has allowed him to start helping and coaching with one of the high school football teams in the area. Jeff is loving it! The past couple of weeks have definitely been crazy though because BP hired ENTRIX to help with the oil spill so they have needed massive amounts of people to start working immediately. Jeff has definitely been thrown into the fire but he has stepped up to the plate and is working so hard! I am so proud of him and so thankful for all that he does to provide for our little family! If you know of anyone who has marine biology experience and can go to Louisiana immediately, let us know! Jeff can give them a job! :)

Anticipation

So much to come...my mind is just filled with things to come! These next few weeks are going to be pretty busy and filled with much anticipation. Let me fill you in...

Back in February we bought a townhome! It hasn't seemed real though because we still are not in the townhome. They have been in the process of building them and they are finally finished! We have our walk-through this Monday and then we close on Friday. We have loved our apartment but we are so excited to have more space and I abosuletly love the townhome! We have been spoiled having a brand new apartment and we will continue to be spoiled with a brand new townhome. I am excited to move but dreading it at the same time. Since the townhome is ours, we can do whatever we want to it so some of the things my mind has been filled with are paint colors, decorating, BABY J's room, new furniture, etc. Decorating overwhelms me at times. I want everything to look nice but don't know really what I am doing...I need my Mom haha. I am also having a hard time deciding on how to do Baby's nursery. Decisions, decisions, decisions! (Something I'm not good at haha) I should also start packing. I need to actually do and not think! The time has finally come!

A work in progress still...

The almost finished product!

10244 Red Currant Court...our soon to be called home!

The school year is also finishing up which means I almost done with work. I had told my boss that I could finish out the school year and then I would be done. This next week is my last week of teaching my Stretch-n-Grow classes and then the week after that my little cheerleaders have their pep rallies! So my mind has been filled with cheers, pink, and stars as well. I just pray the pep rallies go well and that everyone likes them! The girls are so cute and most of them are around 4 years old so I figure it's ok if they are not perfect. :) I had one girl have a breakdown last week though because they had to do their cheers in front of their class. I was so surprised she freaked out because she is one of my most outgoing and crazy girls! Hopefully she will be ok for the pep rally because she cracks me up everytime she does her cheers. I have a feeling when I am done with work, I am really going to miss these kids!

Luckily I have a vacation to fill the void though! June 9th: official last day of work, and then June 11th: fly to Utah! I have been so excited to come and visit my family and friends and have just been counting down the days. I just wish it would come already!

And of course, my mind is always thinking of this little boy growing inside of me! I got to see him this week although he was snoozing and we couldn't get him to show his face! He always seems to be sleeping when I have the ultrasounds. Otherwise he is moving like crazy and kicking all the time. I will just sit and watch my stomach move as he throws punches and kicks. I guess he needs more room haha. He weighs 1 1b. 10 oz and seems to be healthy!

Me and baby today at 24, almost 25 weeks!
