Wow! Can you believe it's been nine months? Just about nine months ago, I received a call to teach Seminary. The teacher for the juniors would be moving to Arkansas before Thanksgiving and could I please pick up in the middle of the year? I feel like life kicked into high gear all of a sudden. The best part was I got to teach my freshman class that I had to leave in the middle of two years earlier. They are such great kids! What a treat!
Aren't they the cutest class ever?
Then, we were able to have the whole family here for Christmas. Maggie, Alex and Clarke flew out on the same flight as Sabrina; Summer had come a few days earlier and was able to stay a few days later. Here we are in our traditional matching jammies on Christmas Eve.
It was so great to have everyone together. This was absolutely my favorite thing of the whole year. We were even able to see Maggie's family because they drove to DC to do some sight-seeing while visiting Maggie's sister in New Jersey. Loved this Christmas!
Around March, Mario decided we had paid enough in taxes and it was time to get back into the housing market. We spent Spring Break looking at houses and found one just two streets away. It had everything Adam wanted (except a bedroom in the basement which we still need to build) and he would not have to change wards or stakes so we put on offer on it. We were very blessed to be able to move in two weeks after I finished teaching Seminary for the year. Here's a picture of the front.
Now that we're homeowners again, we have lots of projects on our agenda. Sabrina flew out a few days early for our vacation (more on that later) and helped us move. Adam was amazing--so tireless and helpful. I don't think we could have done it without them.
