Decisions?

Brett was offered a job with his last terms preceptor. It is a great opportunity. HE will be working three days in a clinic in Ruch, where he will be the only provider and then two days in Murphy with his preceptor. The opportunity would be of taking over the Ruch clinic. It would also be his best paid position also.This is his best offer yet and one that we are seriously considering. The only down fall is that in order to be able to get a house and land that we want he will have to make a 39 mile commute back and forth three days a week. We aren't sure what to do?
Then also comes the decision about what to do with our house now. Sell and make close to nothing on it or rent it and keep as an investment???
I want Heavenly Father to just tell me what to do, I am not good at making decisions, and nither is Brett.

Spring break, Break, what is that??

So spring break has come and pretty much gone. We planned to take the kids to the zoo, and of course that didn't happen. Because it is Brett's only break from school, and we still have many updates that we want to do on the house, we spent most of our time working on the house, then the day that was devoted for fun it rained.
So we put in the rest of the new windows, four all together. We carpeted the three bedrooms. And still realized that there is so much we want to do before we sell. Do we even bother? Or should we just rent our house out? To many decisions. But at least were one step closer.
Now I sit at home cleaning up a weeks worth of mess and Brett is out riding, enjoying his last day of freedom. Tomorrow I work so he is with the kid, then he works all weekend and then his new term starts. Last one wahoo!!!!

Easter

Easter was a crazy day. I was in a cantata(?) for church and was doing it in both wards, so I had to get me and the girls ready then be at the church by 8:20 for some practising. Then perform in both wards, I then came home and made Brett's birthday cake, cleaned the house after being gone at work for the past two days. Then we left to go to Brett's parents house for dinner. Once we got there it was more mellow and we had a great time. The girls did an Easter egg hunt with there cousins. It was a good day. Even though everything was crazy, the spirit was very strong at church. It was one of my most spiritual days, and I had a hard time getting through some of the songs without crying. The Savior truly loves me and has made such a sacrifice. What a wonderful thing to celebrate.

Arthur


my girls have been begging for a pet for years. We tried out a gerbal once, that didn't last long. His name was Mikey and he definatly wasn't people friendly. So we gave him to a handicap guy who lived in our neighborhood and he was so gratful, he came over later and gave us a rose.

We would love to have a cat but Brett and Kaylie are so allergic. Brett has allergy induced asthma so a cat is out of the question.

A dog? well we don't have much space and time for a dog right now. We promised the girls we could get one when we move and have some land.

So we felt so bad for Kaylie because she has been so sad that she had no pet, Brett got her a parakeet.

It is a good little pet. His name is Arthur. We have had him for a few months now. He sings when we run water, and he likes music. We tuck him in each night with a blanket over his cage, and within a minute, he flies up to his bed. He sleeps on his highest perch. It is kind of cute that he has a bed.

So anyway, he is still getting use to us, when we first got him, if you put your hand in his cage he would just nibble on your finger, now he will climb onto your hand. And we have been starting to leave his cage door open so that he can get comfortable to the outside world.

We also are letting him come out if he wishes. Last night he was out for a long time. Marissa was a wake and was afraid of him when he flew right at her. At one point we couldn't find him, he had perched on Brett's elk horns hanging on the wall, and then on my shoulder. I was afraid he was going to peck at my eye. He did like my hair though.

So we have been having fun with our new little addition.
