A New Beginning!

School is starting for Matt in about a week! We just found out he got hired at a new job and we are just thrilled to say goodbye to 55 hour weeks at Domino's. Though it also means saying goodbye to eating loads of pizza, and for Matt the familiarity of having the same general job since high school. I am looking forward to a change and all the new opportunities that await us.

It's exciting to begin again with fresh hope that in 2 years Matt will graduate with his teaching degree. The goal isn't new; we had attempted this before and and gave up. I think that we have learned from the last attempt and have realized that we want this too much to give up. It's intimidating to think that these next two years are going to be so incredibly tough with Matt gone a lot between work and school while I take care of our home and kids. I feel that I can do it if I believe in myself and have faith in the Lord. I think we are pretty crazy sometimes for choosing to do this, there are many other opportunities that require a lot less work and sacrifice that would give us similar or greater rewards monetarily. Matt really feels strongly about it and I agree with him that in the long run we will be a lot happier with this choice.


Oh and finally here is an updated family picture! Thanks Megan for your patience to capture Brigham looking at the camera- even though it's while blowing a bubble of spit!
