We actually do have some news... and no, Melissa, I'm not going to have a baby. ;) Brandon got a new job!
A really great company here in Vernal that Brandon had talked to a looong time ago (when he was looking for a job a couple of times ago) contacted him recently to offer him a job. It's funny how work is so hard to come by when you're looking for it, but when you haven't been looking at all, it falls in your lap. I guess that's how life goes, isn't it?
Brandon really likes the company that he has been working for, so it was a hard decision, but the biggest thing that swayed us is that it will be a lot better for our family life. He will work Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. Every Sunday home with us, every evening home with us... I am so excited to not be a single parent at church and games and all of that anymore. :)
We've also been thinking a lot lately how little time we have left with our kids, especially Aubrey. We don't want to lose any more time with her... she'll be gone in a little over two years. Isn't that sad?? We think this job will help us be able to do more as a family... the little every day things, like eating dinner together, and going to church together, and the kids seeing their dad every day.
I'm glad that we're going to be able to see Brandon more, and that we can stay in Vernal. I have so many good friends and family here, my photography is doing well, I love teaching at the rec, Aubrey is loving high school here... it's home, and I'm glad we didn't have to make a decision that would involve us choosing whether to stay here or leave.
Oh! And we can't wait for spring!! Enjoy the pics of tulips. :) (My sweet friend Tari gave them to me for my birthday.)

That's awesome, Mindy! It's such a relief when life changes for the better.
... I think since Aubrey's about to leave.... it's the PERFECT time for a new baby. ;) It'll cushion the blow of her leaving a little. ;)

You already know how I feel about Brandon's new job--but I'll say again I'm really happy that you'll get to spend more time together. Yay!
So glad for your family. Time really does fly and you'll be so glad to have this last two years be easier on your family.
HALLELUJAH!!!! I can't even tell you how happy I am for you! What is Brandon doing now? Enjoy those evenings together and think of me and how I don't have them...that will perhaps help you cherish them more.
Someday, someday, we will have our papa back.
