A quick update (pics to follow later - i hope:))

Since Thanksgiving we've had 2 major changes in our family!

The first occured right after Thanksgiving - for various reasons we decided that the team that Taylor was playing for in Kent was not working out and removed him from it. It was a super hard decision to make and was huge ordeal (believe it or not) I wish that i could explain everything but it much too complicated - lets just say that i spent countless hours in prayer and scripture searching for strength from God to get us through. He did. Taylor is now on the Spokane Jr. Chiefs Bantam AAA Tier 1 team. He's thoroughly enjoying it!! Here's a link to a newspaper article about their first tournament the team won last weekend in Trail, BC - HERE The picture is of Taylor :) #93

Shortly after Thanksgiving, i also started applying for a job. My wonderful private tutoring job ended because the family had to move to Minnesota. I was super sad. I loved tutoring Sophie and will miss her! I applied for 2 positions - 1 as a realtor asst. - i interviewed a few times with that position, it came down to me and another person. I was dissappointed when the realtor called to tell me that b/c of my family being my priority that she'd feel bad if she needed me to stay late or work weekend (i was kinda looking forward to helping with real estate again)- but, i understood and felt that God had something else planned for me. Actually, the day that i was supposed to hear back from the realtor, was the day i applied for another position as a site supervisor at a preschool. I interviewed that day with them - it was soon after, that they offered me the job - however, it was for full time - i really felt that i wasn't ready for full time yet. They were able to adjust and hire an asst for me so that i could work there 5 hrs a day and take the girls with me! I was excited to start last week. It has it's challenging moments and everyday is something new - it's kinda fun - really keeps me on my toes!!

That's all for now...
