Change

Baby, graduations, move, new jobs

• Sage brings an added happiness to our home. Now that she is 6 weeks old we are beginning to sleep train her. Wish us luck! We were going to wait until next week because according to "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" sleep training can begin 6 weeks from the due date and since there was some discrepancy in my due date we were going to go with my latest due date. However, our little girl does not sleep and gets herself so overtired and considering she came on March 2 closer to her Feb 26 due date and not the March 11 due date, we decided to go ahead and consider her 6 weeks and let the training begin! There are lots of changes in our home lately and lots of changes to come. We are excited for what these changes will bring.


• Taylor graduates in less than a week. It has been a busy few weeks for him trying to finish everything and study, which has not been the easiest thing to do with a new baby in our lives. But he is doing it! And is almost done! Jeanne came and hung out with us for a couple days so Taylor could focus on finishing some assignments. It was nice to have the extra support and help. Sage enjoyed cuddling with her grandma and Taylor and I enjoyed watching movies, visiting, and going shopping with her. She sure is loved.


• Taylor and I have applied to Alpine Storage for a resident manager position, which is where Dan and Jill are working/living. I would work in the office 2.5 hours a day, a little longer on Fridays and would get one Friday off a month and have to work one Saturday a month. We would be compensated with free rent and utilities, but the best thing is that I would be able to have Sage with me. It is a great opportunity and we are hoping and praying we will get it. It would also be nice to be up in Salt Lake. We would be neighbors with Dan, Jill and Lacey, we would be close to the grandmas, Michael is up there and we do not get to see enough of his face, and we would be a little closer to Paradise where Tony and Jeanne are. Also, our apartment would be nicer and a little larger than our place now. We would actually have kitchen and bathroom counter space! What would that be like? If we get it, training would be the week of May 9th and we could move in that next week. We'll see! Either way we need to find another place to live. As much as we have enjoyed our time here we are ready for a change.


• Although I finished in December and already have my degree I have decided to go ahead and walk for my family. Grandma and Papa and my dad will be coming May 5th. Also, our good friends Donny and Donna will be coming. We will have Sage's blessing Saturday, May 7th.


• Taylor has also applied to Farmers insurance. He will be getting one of his licences in the next couple weeks and then can begin selling some policies so he can start making some money and then get his other licenses. In the meantime he will continue to work at NewHaven until he can work for Farmers full time. We have been very impressed with Farmers persistence with him in calling and following up with him and helping him get started. We think he will be happy working for them and Taylor is getting really excited and we are both getting really excited for this new chapter in our lives.
