It's been a while

I thought I would post and give those of you who read this still a little bit of an update. Matthew and I have been loving Florida. We have missed our families like crazy but I think we are adjusting well. Matthew was just promoted to a lead position at work and we are both super excited about it. I was also promoted yesterday to the sales lead (key holder) position at my part time job at Ann Taylor Loft. I was told about a month or so ago that I was being considered for the position along with another associate so I was happy to hear that I was given the opportunity. It is going to mean working more hours but it also means more pay!

We have really grown to love our ward family. They have welcomed us into their lives so easily. Matthew is teaching the 14-15 year olds in Sunday school. It is a difficult calling for sure but he is excited by the challenge. I was called to teach CTR 6, Matthew also comes in for class time after his Sunday school class to help keep control. We have 6 boys that are all going to be turning 6 this year and boy are they a handful (hence me needing Matthew in class with me or else it would be complete chaos). They are the sweetest little boys and I have grown to love them in the short time that I have been teaching them. I am looking forward to what this year is going to teach me.

That pretty much sums up our live now...work and church. We spend as much time together at home as possible. We love everyone and miss you all!!

I see Matt is falling well into his dad's footsteps! When he came home from his mission he taught the 14,15 and 16 year olds. They loved his wit and wisdom. I am sure Matt is the same.
