Decisions, decisions...

Yesterday, Stephen had a job interview at this place called Discovery House, which is a drug rehab type place in Orem, UT. A bit of a funny story, the last job Stephen got was thanks to my sister-in-law's twin Katie, and if Stephen gets this job it'll be thanks to Katie's husband. They had 18 people that applied for the job, and out of that they interviewed 5. Then yesterday 3 out of the 5 got called back for a 2nd interview for today, and Stephen was one of them, he said it went well so we're saying our prayers and keeping our fingers crossed. He's still going to apply to the one other place today, which has better pay then his last job, but I'm not going to hold my breath for that job. Unfortunately the job that he had the interview for yesterday and today pays less than his last job. In fact, if he gets the job we will probably have to move to Orem. First off, I hate moving!!! Especially with kids, but with the decrease in income I doubt we could afford to stay here. Plus, we live like 12 minutes away from Stephen's brother and his family, and we see them at least every other week, sometimes once a week. I like living close to them. And I really love our ward, I mean I really love it. And I actually like the quietness of Lehi, despite the fact that you have to drive 10 minutes to get to anything, literally. But if we moved to Orem not only would we save money on rent, but also on gas. Whatever happens I just hope we get a job soon. If Stephen does get this job we technically won't have gotten any unemployment money, which is fine by Stephen since he hates the idea of getting money from the government anyways. I'm indifferent to the idea, as long as it's not for a long time, know what I mean? Any volunteers to help us move? :D

First off, we'll be there to help heft boxes (and we have a ton, as you know!!!). We'll even watch James so you can put your stuff into those boxes, something impossible to do with children around.

Second, please don't make us move you all the down to Orem. Then you can't play with us as easily. And we'll feel very sad. If you INSIST on moving there, though, we'll plan activities for the halfway point.

Third, I will totally look out for costumes for James!!! I'll confess I actually bought him a pop gun at Savers yesterday, since I know of his ongoing love affair with firearms (Daddy's little boy, anyone?). I've been shooting the girls with it and they love it (Tamsin even smeared strawberry jam all over it this morning--it's been thoroughly cleaned, though!). come hang out with us this weekend and I'll give it to him!

We would love to help you move, even though that means you're moving away from us!!

I have an idea for you. Move to the Portland Metro Area. Then I can see you all the time! And you know you'd love the rain.
