We Moved!


The biggest change besides the death of my Nana is we decided to move to the beautiful little town of Steilacoom. We are renting a little one room cottage and we love it. We moved a whole 8 minutes away from Matt's parents house. Its the town Matt coaches for so its nice to be part of that community! It is right on the Puget Sound so we are a 5 minute walk to a beach and a 10 minute walk to the main part of town were there are restaurants and all the community activities! We are so happy to have a place to call ours and have BBQ's. It needs some work but for the two of us we are in love!

Back to the world of blogging!!!

Wow! My how life changes in a matter of 7 months. Lets see!  Well in November my boss was diagnosed with breast cancer and so Matt and I went into major helper mode! I went from 3 11 hour days to at least 5 12 hour days which some days we more like 14 or 15 hour days.  Oh and did I mention I am still in school? But we are still alive and love the kiddos so it makes it all worth it! My boss is still in treatment and doing great! She is scheduled to be done the last week of July!  In the midst of it all I was offered an amazing job and decided to decline. God put me here to help this family and that is what I am going to do, they are truly my second family (did I mention that they agreed to keep me till next fall!) In February Matt was offered a paid coaching position for the JV baseball team and he has also signed on for another year of football! He also received a promotion which is AMAZING!!! but lots of traveling but he gets to go to Montana and Idaho so he is happy to always see family and friends during his routes!

On a sad note my dear Nana passed away suddenly. She was an amazing lady who loved us all so much no one will ever take her place. I am still struggling with it all but I know she is watching over us all and we will see her again one day. I just have to keep saying take it one day at a time. Which is easier said then done. We were able to go to Montana for her service over Memorial Day weekend. It was great to see how loved she was and how she has touched so many lives. I will never forget the way she loved me.


So much has happened and I know I am leaving lots out but I am starting to get better at all this blogging and will stay more committed :)
