Montana or Bust!!





So it is true we are moving to Montana, Brett had accepted a position here already, but was contacted by the CEO of a small hospital in White Sulphur Springs. It is a tiny little town in central Montana. It is a great place to raise a family. We are leaving this next weekend to take a load of stuff. Brett is awaiting his Montana nursing lisence and then will be leaving, I want to wait till my little brother leaves for his mission in August. We will miss all our friends and family here but this is going to be so good for our family. Plus Brett will get his student loans paid back. We will be back to visit you all.

Naughty Little Girl


Marissa is starting to really push the line. She laughs and thinks that it is funny when she does something wrong. So Brett and I have cracked the whip and started sticking her in the corner, at first she would just laugh and try to get out, but now she knows that she better stay.

When I was at work she og tinto my fingernail polish, got it opened (I don't know how) and poared it out on our brand new carpet. Grrrrr! CORNER!!!!

Fun Times






Well it has been a while. There has been lots going on. I just finished my 88 hour class for upgrading my CNA certificate. Brett is pugging a way at his last term of school and his three days a week cliniclas. We have the house up on the market, in hopes that is sells in less than a year. I really would like to not have to switch school's for Kaylie next year. And we all just got over having pink eye, all of us except Brett.

Kaylie turned 7 and got her ears pierced, she was very excited. She has been asking for years, Brett told her when she was 12 she could. But I finally talked him into it.

I was brave and took the kids to the coast by myself yesterday. That was fun.

We Finally Decided

With Bretts different job opportunities it has been so frustrating not knowing where we were going to be in a few months. I was at the dentist and when I came home Brett told me that he called and accepted the job closest to here. It is the position in Ruch, three days a week and Murphy the other two. I am very excited to finally know.
So now we have been trying to get all the last touch ups done with the house to put it on the market here in the next week or two. Who knows how long it will take to sell it, the market is so slow now.
I am ready to move and take the next step in our lives.

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.
