Speaking of Plan B....

Alright, I would just like to say that I used "sporadic" in the title of my blog for a reason...yeah, so it's been two months since I've posted. My excuse: I don't have any adorable children to blog about. Anyway, excuses aside, I have some big news:

Remember how I was saying that I was going to Houston to do my student teaching....well, that's not happening anymore. It's not that I applied and didn't get in, I just really thought both options through, prayed about it, and came to the conclusion that I should stay here to finish up. I feel really good about my cooperating teacher - I'll be student teaching at Lakeridge Jr. High in Orem. I really love my ward and my roommates. I'm not going to lie - I am not loving the prospect of another winter here, but hey, you do what you gotta do. Anyway, just thought I should officially inform everyone. I turned in my student teaching application today. If all goes well, I'll be teaching next year!

Plan B

New plan...Matt is going to grad school. After some major string-pulling, we got him in to BYU and he started class last week. Crazy to think that in a matter of 10 days he was working and now back in school. He is going to do his masters in mechanical engineering.

He's excited but he hates to admit that he is a student at "the school down south" as he likes to call it. He missed the first week of classes so he is frantically trying to catch up, plus he has to hurry up and take the GRE (next Tuesday).

It's super busy, but we feel blessed that the Lord has opened this opportunity up for us. It's amazing how when one door closes, another one opens. Plus, his entire schooling will be FREE and he gets unemployment benefits for two years, which is about 1/2 his salary.

I will be staying at my job at BYU and we will be moving to Utah County. Yikes!

Just call him Adam!

Dave found out today that he got the part of Adam in 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. I called him and asked if he had gone to the school yet to see what part he got and he said I'm on the way now, I'll text you when I find out. A little later I get this text....."three words....I Am ADAM!" We are really happy for him and he is really excited for the challenge and the great experience every show is, but especially to be a lead, it will be a lot of work, but a lot of fun at the same time. The show is at the beginning of November.
