July

Well we have had a very busy month with a lot of exciting news. Mike just received and accepted a job offer at INL as an associate engineer. Therefore, we get to move back to Idaho!! The only draw back is that Mike has to get clearance before he can start working which could take up to three months. So we don't know went he will start and what he will do until then. oh, we also have to move again which I am not looking forward to.
Another big even this month was Sadie's birthday. We are now living with a 1 year old. She turned 1 on the 29th of July. We had a big birthday party for her last Saturday with family members. Sadie and I made her a teddy bear birthday cake. Sadie enjoyed the frosting more than the cake. She was spoiled by her grandparents and aunts. We also celebrated on her birthday by inviting her friend Isaac over to swim in a kiddy pool, eat Popsicles and play with Sadie's new birthday toys. They had a lot of fun together.

What's up with us

Well we are still living in Payson, UT for the time being. Mike has finished up his internship and is in the process of applying for jobs. He is working a temporary job in the afternoon and evening while looking for something else. I am grateful that he has work but I miss seeing him in the evening. He usually doesn't get home until 10pm. He has an interview next Wednesday in Idaho Falls so we are hopefull. We would really like to move back to Idaho to be closer to family. I guess we are home bodies. It is hard for me to be in limbo as far as our future is concerned.
Sadie is growing like crazy and will be a year old on the 29th. It is amazing how time flies. She an walk very fast and is getting into everything. I am trying to be patient and enjoy the moments even when she throws everything on the floor that I just picked up. She is a smart and beautiful little girl and we love being a part of all her new experiances.
