Sorry, Sorry, Sorry...

I have been so terribly bad at updating our blog - we just have been so busy that by the time the kiddo's are in bed and I am ready to sit down and log on, my brain just can't come up with anything to say. I have decided that for the time being that I am going to follow my friends example of updating only on Sunday nights.

So with this being said, I guess I need to update...

We enjoyed a wonderful trip to Ellensburg, WA and then to Seattle to visit family over Spring Break. It was great to see Mike's Grandma and Grandpa Kyllo, Aunt Marty and Uncle Steve, Grandma Nancy, Uncle John and Aunt Cheryl, Andrea, Kevin and our precious Nephews and to be able to stay with Mike's brother Brian and his wife Marta. We really lucked out while we were there - the weather was wonderful! It only rained one day- which is amazing for Seattle in the Spring. The trees and flowers were all in bloom and it was so green. If it wasn't for the rain I would love to live there!

I've been getting a lot of questions lately regarding Mike's job situation. Well at this time he is starting to apply for jobs in Washington and Oregon. He has also been talking to a manager with HP but unfortunately the only jobs they have for him are in Texas and they won't allow him to work remotely. We are keeping our options open and have concluded that working in the Seattle or Portland area is a lot better then Texas It's only an hour flight from Boise to Seattle vs a 4.5 hour flight to Houston! I have a peace in my heart about the entire situation but please continue to pray for us and the upcoming months ahead. I can't imagine going back to Texas even though I miss several things about Texas very much. But I love being back in Idaho and having family around. Honestly, I don't know if our family would let us go again! :)
If he were to be offered a job in a different state and he has nothing on the table here in Boise then he will accept it but I will stay here. With the Real Estate market the way it is we can't sell our house for what we paid for it right now so I have to stay. Needless to say ,we have a lot going on and a lot to consider in the next few months.

Mike is in his last month of school. He was happily surprised about how easy his classes were this semester. He is doing very well in his engineering classes and I am so proud of him!!

The girls are in their last month of gymnastics and then we start swimming lessons for several months as well as riding lessons for Caitlin. We have a few other things planned for the summer and so I'm sure it's going to be busy!

I know I am leaving a lot out of what we have been up to in the last month or two since I last blogged but I hope I covered the basics. I have other news and items I want to talk about but I'll save that for another day.

Until next Sunday (unless I can get my brain to function after 8:00pm during the week).
