Finally Here!

It has been a very long road getting down here to Rexburg! I am so incredibly happy to be done teaching! After a very hectic last two weeks of school and packing up my rooms I can say I walked out those doors for the last time and didn't even shed a tear....I am sooo ready to move on in my life. Of course, I couldn't do that until I packed up my house and garage alone, with a two year old attached to my legs or trying to "help". The anxiety and stress nearly did me in. After 3 truck loads of stuff off to the dump, numerous items sold or given away on Craigslist, and intensive cleaning, I managed to get stuff reduced to fitting into a 26 foot long moving truck- 2/3 of which ended up in storage upon getting here. My father in law drove the moving truck down and since I didn't finish cleaning and turning over our home to dear friends who are renting from us while we are gone until 10:30 pm, I slept in a little and then Corbin and I drove down. We arrived around 6:30 pm Saturday night. Tekara stayed behind to hang out with Gailyn and Nick for the summer. We are going to have to go and get her in August so she can start school down here.

Now I get to unpack everything..... It's not anywhere near as painful as packing it all up- and I can take my time.

I am very much looking forward to being a stay-at-home mom. I am so excited for our new life down here and it is so good to be with Tim again. Now I can have some time to teach and play with Corbin, enjoy my hobby, and best part- sleep in past 6:30 am!! I can de-stress and get my physical, mental, social, and spiritual health back in order. No longer a slave to my job! In other words- I get a LIFE!! YEA!

It's about time


I want to post this from Carisa's point of view but she wants me to give my point of view. Sorry.
I left Spokane 10 weeks ago and started my last year of college at BYU- Idaho. I am a buiness major, emphising in operations management (Supply Chain).
School has been great. I have always had a hard time with school. I have failed more than my fair share of classes but now it's different. It makes me wonder what some of the high school teachers would say if they knew the grades I am getting now: 4 A's and 1 B. The differenes in BYU Idaho from the other 3 colleges I've gone to would have to be the Spirit. I'm still getting use to having a prayer before each class but I'm not sure if I will ever get use to having a prayer before track and golf practice. It's is really nice going to class knowing that everyone else shares your same belifes and ideals.
It's been hard being down here without my wife, Carisa, but she moved down yesterday and all is well. The only nice thing about being down here by my self was being able to join the BYU golf league and golf 3 times a week. Don't worry, she is sitting write her watching me type this to correct all my spelling errors.
I'll be done here next July at which time I will do my internship, then off to work I go. I am thinking of going into forcasting/production planning for the auto industry or home imporvment industry. Who knows.
I'm going to leave the rest of the more detailed stuff to the more detailed person, my wifeeeee.
Have fun.
