BIG update...

there are a couple of updates that have happened very recently that we would like to share:

first: BRETT GOT A JOB!!! we could not be happier about this. we have been praying daily to find something that would be suitable for our family, and it came! finally! we honestly didn't think Brett would be getting a job before we moved down to South Jordan just because he has been super busy with school, interviewing is just so tough when we are up here so far away from where we will be living, and driving down there a few times a week for interviews just wasn't possible. but, we got one! it is for a job Brett interviewed for back in September. the interviewer came and held interviews here and at different universities around the state and said they would be letting the interviewees know about job offers in mid-November. well ever since November hit i have been constantly thinking about that job, but Brett has had so many interviews the last few months and little success because of how competitive the job market is right now , i didn't want to get my hopes up. but yesterday, the call came! i was upstairs trying to put Dylan to sleep and he was just sitting there chatting away, so i came downstairs to chill with Brett while he was doing some homework. i got to the living room and he said 'Kate, i think i got a job."  i thought he was joking, and it wasn't funny. i have been stressing about him getting a job for months now, and so has he. but he wasn't joking, he told me he just got a voicemail from the guy who interviewed him at Utah State Tax Commission in Salt Lake and they wanted Brett to call them back if he was still interested in the job. we were freaking out, but i didn't want to get my hopes up. but i didn't have to suppress my hopes any longer when i heard Brett call the guy back and the guy said they want Brett to start as a State Tax Auditor at the first of the new year. Ahhhhhhhhh! we were jumping up and down, i teared up, it was great! we have been hoping for this for so long, and now it's here! we don't have to stress anymore. we won't be penniless when we move. yay! it's about time that going to school forever payed off! we are so excited and couldn't be more thrilled! i am so proud of my business-man husband, going out there and getting a big-boy job!

and second: we are not moving until Brett is done with school. this news is nothing compared to the news up above, but Brett no longer has a place to stay (long story) and a hotel would be way more expensive so we are just staying here together until Brett is done with school in mid-December. i am actually really happy about it. i was not looking forward to living away from my hubs for 2 weeks. good thing i didn't start packing yet eh? i really do need to get a start on that though, so i don't have to do it all last minute like i would've had to if we were moving down next week.

so there's the new updates. oh, i guess there is one more. the babe is going to be a chomper soon. he has two teeth growing in. both on bottom. he hasn't really been too onry with it, the only reason i know is because i felt them a couple of days ago when he grabbed my finger and shoved it in his mouth.

i will leave you with this little video. i took it a couple of weeks ago and i think it's pretty funny. ignore my nasty voice. focus on cute little Dylan.
