NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

Heath and I were in Phoenix last week. Unfortunately we did not go for fun! We went for work! I'm not going to mislead you in anyway, we did have fun too! The weather was up over the 100 degree mark almost everyday we were there! It was wonderful! While we were there we learned lots of great information when it comes to our line of work, so it was well worth the trip.

On Thursday I received a call from the Grace Lutheran School Director offering me the kindergarten teaching position starting in the fall! Imagine my surprise! I had applied for the position in March after returning from Mexico. My receiving the job was based solely on the decision of the other kindergarten teacher either moving to Nampa or staying in Pocatello. I thought she had decided to stay in Pocatello and so I had let myself believe that I was not going to go back to work next year! Boy was I wrong! Heath and I are both extremely excited about this new opportunity in our lives! (My family keeps telling me that now that I have made the decision to reenter the work force, after more than two long years of trying to conceive, God will finally give me that gift too! I'm not so sure I'm ready for it now!) When I look ahead to August, I realize that there are many things Heath, Kenidee and I are going to have to work out. Wow, what a life changing decision for all of us! I need to start preparing for all of this now!

While we were gone, Kenidee and Braden got to experience the best of city life and country life! They spent the first part of the week with Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer in Lehi. They played with the Salt Lake area cousins, helped Grandma in the garden and many other great things. I did notice that most of Grandma's flowers were still in tact after the visit from the grandchildren (I had to warn Grandma that Kenidee LOVES to pick flowers!)

By the time Friday rolled around it was time to head to the Bucking Bull Ranch in Downey! Grandma and Grandpa Proctor were ready! Colton got to spend the weekend there too! Poor Kenidee was out numbered. Two boys and one girl. Grandma ran lots of interference between the two boys and Kenidee. The first thing Kenidee told me was, "Mom! We had a bull emergency! The bulls got out and they were in the neighbors garden!" The kids thought that was great! Not only did the bulls get out once, but twice! It was definitely a memorable experience for Kenidee. She loves the country life of horses, bulls and lots of dogs! She has always been my little girl that loves dresses and "girly" things but give her the chance to get dirty and she will never say no!

Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer and Grandma and Grandpa Proctor for starting the summer off so great for our kids!
