Well, it's time for us to move again--we're averaging 2 moves a year! And we've had some changes to our plans. So to make sure no one is in the dark, I'll give a rundown of what we're doing. We're moving this Saturday from our basement pad. Originally we were going to stay in Provo and live at a complex that had really cheap rent during the summer. Well, a friend suggested we apply for her property management position and in the process of getting ready for that, we decided it would be really fun to go to Pendleton for the whole of May! Neither of us have been home since Christmas of 2006. So we made plans to go by informing the parents and renting a storage shed. So we'll be driving to Ptown on Saturday and staying til the beginning of June. Tyler has some independent study classes he's going to plow through and I will just enjoy the pleasure of having people, some of my favorite people at that, with me while I keep the Cam company all day! Then in June we are going to Hawaii with my family for a whole month! So we'll have no real residence for two months and be living out of our suitcases.
As for the property management position, we interviewed for it but we both felt we would not have enough time to devote to it, especially Tyler as he works and goes to school and still helps me with Cameron plenty. So when the landlord called to offer it to us, Tyler thanked him for his consideration but that we would have to turn it down as we wouldn't want to do a mediocre job and let him down. He thanked us for being honest with him and that was that. It was a little hard for me as it was turning down free rent and a small stipend, but a happy husband and family isn't worth any amount of money. I suppose it is the first of many times we'll have to put quality of life over money; probably a good precedent to set. And while we won't be as comfortable, Tyler makes good money at his job and we have a great savings so depleting it a bit won't be detrimental to us.
Either way, we feel really blessed and are excited for our vacations this summer!

Wow! What fun adventures you guys have ahead of you! I'm so glad you're taking a break to spend time with family at home and in Hawaii! That will be so fun! Please let us know what we can do to help with the moving. We will have both our families in town for graduation, but we would still love to help out if we can!
I knew you guys were the best people for the job! I really respect that you chose the family first! The job does take a ton of time, and it's true you wouldn't see much of each other if Tyler is already so busy. I'm way sad you're leaving already, I leave in about 5 weeks and I'm worried I won't see you for a long time again:( Oh and PS Where did you guys store your stuff? We're actively looking for a storage shed right now!

Congratulations Mindy to motherhood. I was on jays blog and saw your name and thought I haven't seen your baby. He is so precious. I am glad you three are all doing so well. You have become a great little mommy and wow 9lbs 4oz I thought Tugg at 8lbs was much.
