Starting over

So here I am again, trying to blog...again. This time I'm really going to try to keep up with it...but we'll see.

Let me fill you in on what's been going on with us lately. Rob just finished is EMT (emergency medical technician) class with American Medical Response. We're so happy it's over! He had class Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and all day every other Saturday. It was not fun. He did awsome in his class though and now we are just waiting to get his test score back and he will apply for a job at AMR and he'll totally be an EMT!! His ultimate goal is to be a police officer so hopefully this will help him achieve that. He tested with Seattle police back in April and passed. Just in these past few months he has had his oral interview and they just finished up doing his employment references. All of his former employers gave him wonderful reviews so hopefully we will hear from his detective again soon. Rob has also become really good friends with a Seattle police officer who has also been putting a good word in for him. I'm so proud of him for being so driven and determined. It really does scare me though, the thought of him being a police officer. Especially with everything that has been going on lately but I know that if we continue to live righteously that Heavenly Father will bless and protect us. Rob has also been working out quite a bit in hopes to become "huge." I'm not too sure I want one of those scary muscle looking guys for a husband but he says he wont get THAT big.
I was working at Evergreen Academy Montessori preschool as an assistant teacher and ballet teacher. I loved it. I loved the kids and I LOVED working with girls my age. It was so nice to be able to talk to them and gossip with them and just have company during the day. I didn't realize how much of a difference it makes. I was nannying for M & E and 4 y/o boy and a 1y/o girl and I fell madly in love with them. I miss them like crazy. Luckily I get to see them sometimes but oh I miss them so much. Anyway, back to the subject, so evergreen was going great until my boss completely cut my hours. So I had to look for a new job. Luckily a family that I had babysat for in the past asked me to nanny for them so I said yes! I really didn't want to nanny again because it was so hard when mommy of M & E quit her job. I didn't want to get attached like that again but I needed a job and there was one right there waiting for me. It's 3 girls. 1o y/o. 5 y/o and 10 months old. It's been pretty crazy because they have all been home because of winter break but once school starts back up it will mostly just be the baby. I already love the girls but it will be hard not having my friends there during the day. Other then that I have just been busy with life in general. I'm now the laurels advisor at church. I love it but it is a totally change then what I'm used too. Teaching sunbeams didn't keep me up at night thinking about how I could let them know that Heavenly Father loves each and everyone of them and knows exactly who they are and what they can be. Having these 16-18 y/o girls does. It's been such a blessing though and preparing the lesson each week is also a lesson to me. Don't get me wrong I loved love loved my sunbeams but "I am thankful for fish" didn't really humble me :) This calling has.
So there is a tidbit of what has been going on. I promise the next posts wont be so long.
