A New Chapter ...

Well to go along with us being married for year, it seems like we are ready to begin a new chapter in our life. We got a new apartment, and we will be slowly moving in during June. We have to pay rent in our old place & the new place so we are taking our time. It is like a townhouse, but it is only one bedroom. 3 floors if you include the basement. I LOVE IT! We have our OWN washer & dryer. That is my FAVORITE PART! Everything is a bit bigger than our place we have now. I am so excited to have more space so our place will not be as cluttered! I feel like I am getting clausterphobic with all the stuff we have shoved into our tiny place right now. I am so ready to start our own little food storage too! YAY!

Hmm... what else ... OH YEAH, i got a new job! Not that I wanted to leave where I am now, but John & I needed to make a bit more money if we ever wanted to start saving anything, and his job is perfect for him right now. They are flexible with him & school and it is secure so it was on me to find a new job. I have been looking for a nanny job for awhile now but have never found anything. Well one of my friends hooked me up with a family she had nannied for before, and they interviewed me and i guess they liked me because they hired me! YAY! I am making a lot more than I am right now, which is a nice comfort for John & I. I was so sad to give my 2 weeks notice to the daycare I am at, but it was something I had to do. =( I am done the 2nd of June. It will be a very surreal day I think. I will be working Monday through Thursday, full time, for the summer and then I go to part time for the school year when the kids are in school. It is going to be nice to have 3 day weekends for awhile. I have a feeling those are still going to be busy days though!

AND ... MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND ARE MOVING HOME! YAY YAY YAY! They will be here NEXT WEEK! I AM SO EXCITED! CAN YOU TELL?! Party time! party time!

Side note ...

We got to speak to the Priests & Laurels of our Stake last night. They were doing a "Transition Fireside" for the kids, and they asked US to speak! It was a cool experience to be the adults telling the kids about the future. It was a little weird for me because I still feel like I just graduated, and I was like, wait what am I supposed to say. I have not had that much life experience yet! haha. Basically we talked about how important staying strong in the church is when you leave home. I spoke about how it is so much easier to deal with things if you ALWAYS lean on the Lord. At the end of my talk I said, "It is hard living on your own and making all of your own decisions, but please, make choosing the Lord and holding onto the things we have learned growing up in church, always be the first thing you think of when you make a decision." I read that over and over again after I wrote that, and was like "Wow was that for them or me?!" John's talk was perfect, as always. I envy him when he speaks. He is so comfortable up there, as compared to me shaking and barely looking up. =(

Hmmm... so thats it for now! I will post pics as soon as we start moving into the new place!
