continuing to... enjoy every minute

Here are the blessing pictures. I'm so glad we were able to do it in my home ward in Fallon Nevada. Not only did I grow up in this ward, but Daniel and I went to it for the first year of our marriage. Plus my sister and her kids were visiting, which made it perfect timing. It was a very special blessing.


Right after we got home from Fallon, Daniel got a call from West Hills Hospital in Reno Nevada. West Hills Hospital is a psychiatric hospital that Daniel had applied to. They wanted Dan to come for an interview. So we loaded back up and headed back to Fallon.
After his interview we knew right away it was where we needed to be. It was close to family and the salary was $15,000 more, a year, than any other job he had interviewed for. Plus Daniel would get to continue to work with Youth, which he LOVED!
We headed back to Idaho, hoping to pack and come right back.
About a week later they called and informed us that Daniel had the job. We were both so EXCITED! So we packed up and moved in with my family.
3 months later we are living in Fallon with family and loving every minute of it. We plan on living with the family for a few more months until we can buy a house or rent something. We want everyone to come live by us! The housing market is crazy because of all the foreclosures. Our friends just paid $150K for a $350K home because the bank was foreclosing on it.
Daniel LOVES his job and works with kids from age 5 to 17 who are struggling with mental issues, drugs, suicidal thoughts or attempts, or who are a danger to themselves or others. Dan has some great stories everyday when he comes home from work.

This is just a random picture that I love of EM'S!
