BLESSINGS!

The last couple of months have been a little crazy...the move to Kansas...my first semester of grad school...Josh's job hunt...etc...Once my semester ended for Summer, Josh was still playing the "waiting game" on jobs. He had applied for many and interviewed for others (once or twice) all while he was still applying to many others. Luckily, my old boss in Logan was generous enough to let me come work for 5 weeks. GREAT! We knew that was a huge blessing for us- the only downside, Josh and I would be separated the whole time since he was in the middle of his job search. I think the longest we have been apart since we have been married is 4 DAYS...as we have faith through our trials, great things come! We are down to less than 2 weeks and it has not been the easiest experience, but we are grateful for opportunity my boss gave to me. Josh has been so patient and diligent in his job search and it has paid off! He was offered a position with Farmers Insurance today! YAY! We were so happy for Josh to get the offer, it really took a huge amount of stress off of us! Thanks to our family and friends who have been supportive and encouraging, you are all blessings in our life as well!

I appreciate Josh for being positive throughout the last few weeks. I know it has probably gone by even slower for him since I have been SO busy working. Plus the fact that he is in new place where he does not know a ton of people. Thank you for sacrificing your sanity Josh : )

Since I have been in Logan I work nearly everyday, but I have played a little too...

We took the girls (for work) to Jackson Hole and went river rafting, to Bar J's, and hiking.

Jenny Lake Hike with my sidekick Kristy!

I went to Boise to visit my family

Yes, this is what Clay wears to church...on a regular basis!

I have got to spend a good amount of time with the Browns since I am staying there. It has been wonderful to be with them- thank you so much Jeff and Cheryl for all you do! Cheryl, Celsey and I also went to Lagoon one day and had a BLAST...(Go Jet Star)
I found out this is the actual house Josh's Grandpa Brown grew up in. It is in the Pioneer Village at Lagoon and was brought from Rockport, where he grew up...crazy!

This lady had the SWEETEST hair I think I will ever see...ever!

Miss you TONS Josh and I can't wait to see you...10 days...
