it's only been a year since our first post...almost.

so i'm not so good at this blogging thing. still trying to figure it out . not just what to post but the technical aspect alone...ugh!  granted, i haven't spent too much time wanting to figure it out. it's hard to find the motivation when you don't have too many profound things to share. i've decided to stick to simple for now.

this month has been a month of adventures. pretty exciting considering we are only in the first week of july. :)

we purchased a new car- a ford escape. nothing fancy but definitely a bonus. i'll have to post pictures later once i take some. it'll be handy as we've been trying to manage three different schedules with one car. it's has room enough to haul things and provide a cozy place for parker at the same time.

i got my first pedicure. my tootsies are soft and cute. i went with a friend and enjoyed the visit. my ticklish toes did well. i was a little concerned about clocking someone in the head in a knee jerk reaction but no one was injured during the experience. i left with a flower on my toes and a smile on my face.

parker experienced her first 4th of july celebration and did pretty well...as long as we were in the house. we attempted to take her on a walk but the sights and sounds were a bit overwhelming. once we were back inside the house she curled up on the couch and went to sleep.

i have once again gone through another transition in jobs. i was recently hired as the outreach coordinator for bellingham technical college. a new job is always a little stressful but hopefully it won't take too long to settle in. i'm still at btc, which i love and now i'm working (back home) in student services. student services is a passion of mine. i'm truly grateful for the experiences i had in instruction but excited to be on a new adventure.

evan and i are still serving in the nursery in the everson ward. evan was recently asked to serve as the ward financial clerk. he's doing double duty. i have informed all that evan is not allowed to leave me in the nursery. i need him more than they know. he does great with the kids and comforts the screamers.

well, i wanted to start with a short update. i promise more to come...to all our 'readers' out there. lol!
