life changes

Matt and I are moving on in life...

We have a plan and that plan is actually falling into place. For those that don't know - We are moving to Ogden here in the next month. We had other plans and ideas, but none of them panned out. So Matt is going to be going back to school to get certified to be a teacher and get a Master's in Education at Weber State. It would have been nice to stay in Logan, but USU's program wasn't what we were looking for.

I am actually really excited about this change!!

The only thing(s) that I will miss are my jobs and all the people at them - so I guess I will miss a lot of things or people more like it. I wish they could just all come down with me. But, I do feel like this is the right thing for us right now. Everything has been falling into place, which makes it feel good and right.

The Plan =  Living with Matt's grandpa Wahlquist. He has a basement with it's own kitchen and entrance. And the rent is quite cheap - Thank you! We are excited for a kitchen that has more space and for a kitchen table. We are excited for a garden spot. We are excited to be closer to family. We are just excited!

Getting jobs for the summer: Well Matt has already got a job as well, so that's another thing that fell into place. A guy in his parent's ward needed more help with his work. So he will be starting work and moving down this next Monday actually. It's a construction type job finishing the duct systems in buildings and what not? I don't really know what he will be doing, but he is happy to be done with talking on the phone. I am still looking for jobs, but I have been given leads and help as well so we will see. My plan is to finish out the school year with my job so I don't leave them short handed and then head to Ogden then end of May. I think I might get a job working with people that are blind/visually impaired. It would be awesome to get this job because it's about a block away from where we will be living. I have applied and it sounds like they need more help so I hope that works out.

Weber State: Matt has been talking with them and figuring out when he will be able to start. He is supposed to take the GRE to get into the program, but to take it before the deadline and to able to study for it wasn't going to work out. They told him he could take a class in the summer to raise his gpa so that he wouldn't need to take it and then be able to start in the fall...but that would cost us about a 1000 or more just for 1 class. So he thought if they could wait for him to take a class why couldn't he apply and just have them wait for the gre to go through. So that is what we are doing. He has applied to the program and now he just needs to study up and take the gre. I guess we were taking the deadline too seriously. So it looks like we should be good for fall.

So that's about it. Now we are just kind of waiting for the month to pass. We will start slowly moving out and then we will begin a new chapter in our lives. I think I'm ready for it!
