A lot has happened since I last updated, but I'm just going to focus on the last little bit. We are coming to the close of Day 8 in Taylor, AZ with Jason's parents. We have had a lot of fun. Brooklyn turned 3 yesterday and we celebrated her birthday with presents, paddleboating on Owens pond, homemade individual pizzas, pink cake, and a pink drink (strawberry milk), at Brooklyn's request. I thought she had a great day until just before bedtime she said, "Yeah!! My birthday is over!! I didn't like my birthday." She then wanted to take down all the streamers. I wonder if I'll ever figure that girl out. Some other things we've done: we met up with my friend Stephanie at the park. I hadn't seen her in 10 years. Crazy that she lives here!! We had Trapper's lemon pie. We watched Grandpa kill some roosters. We laid out on the trampoline looking at the stars. We played a lot of hide and seek. We went to Heber to see Jimmie's girls in an orchestra concert. We buried a dutch oven. We ate at Eva's. We went to the Harvest Festival and looked at the llamas and homemade crafts. We played Apples to Apples and Mexican Train. We watched Prince of Persia. We caught some bugs.... and a whole bunch more that I'm neglecting, I'm sure. Tomorrow we are going to the Grand Canyon. But the most exciting thing of all... JASON GOT A JOB!!! We got the call on Thursday and I have been bouncing around happy ever since. Oh, and looking at houses online. LOL. He will be working as a manager in the Environmental Services Department at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital for a company called Aramark. It's a great company and we'll have a decent salary with benefits in the place where I grew up and all of my family still lives. So much more than I dared to hope for. I'm feeling so humbled and grateful. Anyway, that's the big news for now. Hopefully I'll pull myself away from the MLS listings long enough to update you on the rest. For now, take a gander at some of the pictures that Kathie has taken since we've been here.
Rollin on the river
Grandma and Grandpa Maner gave Brooklyn a picture of the L.A. temple for her room
The great Taylor Fire of 2010.
The doomed roosters. They are now in the freezer.
And the hens better watch out too if they don't start laying!!
Giddy up.
