I'm Moving....Twice!

Well, I have some crazy but exciting news. Pete has decided to switch jobs. He's going to be working for Pinnacle Security. He'll basically be going door to door selling security systems. It sounds lame, I know. But, there is so much money to be made doing it. The cool part is that the company puts you into an apartment and pays for it {and the utilities}. So, it's an awesome deal. We found out yesterday that we'll be moving on Monday! I can't believe how fast it's all happening. We'll be moving to Chandler. They are really nice apartments. It's a two bedroom, which I'm SO excited about! We've been in a one bedroom for so long it's going to be weird having the extra space. The move is coming at a good time because I REALLY didn't want to have 4 people living in a one bedroom place. It's going to stink packing up a house while I'm pregnant though, but it will be worth it. I'll have a washer and dryer! YEAH! The craziest part of this all is that in April we'll be moving again, with the company. We'll be moving to this place... VIRGINIA BEACH!!!!
CRAZY, huh? I'm SO excited. I've always wanted to go live somewhere cool. I can't believe it's actually going to happen. It's too hot to go door to door here in the summer so the company sends the guys to cooler places. They pay for your housing at your new location too. It's so amazing. The good news is that we'll only be in Virginia from April until August and then we'll move back here. So, we're going to have a crazy time in the next 6 months {new job, holidays, 2 moves, birth of a child, etc.} I'm excited for the change though. I was needing a change.

    That is so so great. One bad thing about summer in Virgina--humidity. Good thing you'll be living on the beach! Wow, you can actually go on fun day trips to other states and church history sites and what-all.

    Congrats to Pete on his new job!

    WOW that is so awesome!! I have a friend in Idaho that her husband does the same thing with security systems. They get shipped somewhere in the winter since its too cold there and they usually go to Florida or somewhere cooler for the winter times. If you need any help packing or moving let me know! im a pro ive moved way to much haha. Good luck with everything.

    How fun!! Isn't the thought of moving exciting! I am in the same boat right now, only I have NO IDEA where we'll be going! Maybe Virginia Beach! That'd be fun, eh? :) And let me know if you need help with the packing. I'm pretty available.

    Wow! That's so exciting! Congrats on the new job and that will be so fun to move around and get to experience something new! Piece of advice... since you're moving so much, only box and take what you need, basic kitchen and decor and all... put everything else in storage. Having just finished moving I can't tell you how much stuff we got rid of to DI. Congrats again!

    So I'm commenting on all of your old posts...I don't even know if you'll see them...Anyway-I had to say that I found your post about pete's job comforting. I am so glad that my husband and I are not the only ones who are Adventerous and NOT doing the conventional, go to school, get a life time job, stay in one place forever THING!(well...jake has been going to school, & will have his worthless degree in May, but he's not even going to use it!) We want to have a bit of fun before the kids get too old, live a few different places. But, sometimes I feel silly talking about our plans because I think people are thinking "are you insane!" A lot of Mesa folk NEVER want to leave, so thanks for posting, Made me feel a bit more sane:)p.s You are such a positive, go with the flow type of gal, Pete is lucky to have you!

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
