Where do I begin? Nothing and everything has happened in the last month.
We paid off our trailer. It is OURS!
Shane was officially hired at his second job. With their AMAZING benefits, I was able to cancel benefits through my work and save lots of money!
Adam actually started crawling. He still rarely does it - he prefers his perfected Army crawl. He'd fly through Boot Camp with his moves.
Chloe started Pre School and loves it. I never wanted to put my kids in preschool. It seems kind of needless. But, she really needed disciple and structured interaction with other kids her age. And things they learn in preschool now seem to be what I was learning in Kindergarten!
The babysitter is working out wonderfully! The extra driving time is kind of a bummer, but it's a small price to pay!
Our garden has been less than great this year :( The corn just dried up. The cucumber plants were eaten by snails before they could really get started. The tomatoes are just really really late. The peppers are doing ok, I guess. Either way, it's not been a great harvest for us!
That can probably be chalked up to Shane working so many hours a day. Since this job has started, he's probably had 3-5 days that he didn't have a carpet job in addition to his graveyard shift. HOWEVER, we are both extremely grateful for the opportunities and benefits this job has already provided us with.
We started making plans to buy a plot of land somewhere - southern Utah County. As far from Orem as we can get... Not really. We just don't want neighbors and we want at least a couple of acres to spread out and eventually build our dream home. We're not in any rush since we'll just be sitting on the land for a few years, but we're making plans! (so if anyone has any leads....)
Other than that, it's just been the daily grind. I'm enjoying my job, Shane is thriving at his, and my babies are happy and healthy. Life is good.
