Happy 3rd birthday Joshua! (And a way overdue update!)


I know, I know, it has been FOREVER since I last posted anything! I will try and remember! There are multiple posts after this to give more updates...you know, like Christmas! :) Anyway, today his Josh's 3rd birthday! I can't believe 3 years ago we were blessed to have such a sweet little boy brought into our lives. We are so blessed to have him!
So the next few posts will explain what we did for Josh's birthday, and Christmas! Enjoy!
So I thought I would explain what is going on these last few months. So Dave finished his last semester of classes in December and then got to be at home with us throughout December, but began his last internship with Weber County School District at the beginning of January. I was really looking forward to it, but dreading it also because he would be working full time which meant I wasn't going to be able to sleep in...EVER! I would get home from work around 4am and sleep until whenever Josh wakes up (about 8am), and then just pray that he would take a nap around 1-2pm until 4pm. Needless to say...I am exhausted and cannot wait for this internship to be OVER! Well, even though I am not sleeping much I truly know I am being blessed with energy, and patience! Also, I know that the Lord is blessing us with JOB OFFERS! I can't believe it! It is very exciting and very surreal. We have been waiting for this for 3 years and now it is here! So Dave started applying for jobs (even though he won't take his licensing test until April/May and won't graduate until May 6th), but we knew it was kind of a long shot to assume he would get a lot of feedback prior to April...boy we were wrong! So long story short, he has had two job interviews and three job offers. Yes, he has had job offers without interviews! Crazy! So we are seriously looking into two of the jobs. One is a home health/outpatient agency in St. George, and the other one is in Orem with a company Dave is very familiar with (he worked for them last summer for his internship and loved it) Anyway, at the end of March we are going down to Orem to check the place out and see what they are going to offer us, and then the first of April we are headed to St. George to do the same with the other company. We are so excited and a little nervous, but we cannot wait to no longer be "college students"! I hopefully we'll be able to stop working for a few months until I can find a job that I could work maybe part time or PRN (as needed). Anyway, so I WILL blog about this next month or so and keep more updated.
Well, that is about it! I have missed a lot of details but...I guess that is what happens when I blog every 6 months! :)
I do just want to say how grateful I am for my family. Dave and Josh are my world and love them so much! I know that when we move it will be hard to say goodbye to my family, and our wonderful ward family, but I look forward to this new adventure in our lives! Wish us luck! :)

Hey Sarah, we are totally planning on visiting you guys! We are hoping that Sunday night! Would you guys want to come to our hotel and let the kiddos play in the pool? (Weather permitting of course!) Just let us know when you guys are available and when Alberto isn't working! So excited to see you guys!

Souza Family said...

I think Sunday will work out great. You guys can come to our house and I can make dinner. When Alberto is back, I will tell him to get with Dave and set it up.
