OFFER MADE

Well, I found out this morning that our application was approved for purchasing the Richmond Home from Utah Housing Corp. So, we made an offer and our now waiting to hear back. What an exciting day. We looked at the house yesterday and love it. So, now the waiting begins and so does the fun!!

New Job

Matt got a new job. He starts work at Convergys on March 1st. He has to work as a customer service representative for 6 months and then he can move up in the company. Which is what he would like to do, move into some form of management. It's crazy how he got the job. Matt told me last Tuesday, that the day before, while he was in the shower a voice told him to call Convergys to apply for a job. They weren't even advertising, he thought, I don't want to work there, I want a real job. So, he tried to ignore it, but it kept bugging him all day and finally that night he got on line and applied. They called him the next morning, asked him a few questions and asked when he was graduating. Told him to come in that Friday for a second interview. He went in and they offered him a job and told him about the waiting period for moving up. He starts, March 1st. We are excited. He will have insurance starting the first day and school reimbursement after 3 months. They offer there own bachelor's in a business program. He wants to get that also and then go for his master's. Which they will help pay. So, in the mean time we have been looking out for homes to purchase in the future. One night, I was looking at some friends home that were up for sale, just looking at pictures and then I saw another home that was up for sale at a very reasonable price, so we went and met with our Mortgage Lender yesterday, got preapproved, and are going to look at the house on Thursday. It's a 2009, 5 bdrms. 2 bath, 2760 sq ft., no one has lived in it. We will see how it goes. Matt keeps saying the Lord works in mysterious ways, and this is probably the right time for everything to happen. We both are at peace about the whole situation, but whatever happens the Lord is in control and knows what is best for our family.

Pictures of Dad's Birthday

Here are some pictures from Dad's birthday. We took him to Texas Road House for a steak dinner. We had them give him a big Yehaw!!! We have a video also. They had him sit on a saddle while they were singing. Colton loved when they did the line dance with all the staff.

Wheel Bearing?

This is what Colton looked like when we got Grammy and Grandad! I got a phone call from mom this morning asking if I can come and get them. I asked what happened? She said that their vechicle almost caught on fire. I guess the wheel bearing broke. The front driver's tire was at about a 45 deg. angle when I got there. Someone had flagged them over to stop, when Dad got out there was smoke coming from the tire well and some flames. The guy and Dad grabbed snow and stopped it from catching on fire. I could smell it as I was driving down 10th west. I'm so glad that they were okay and safe. We are truly blessed that the Lord was watching over them. They had just came through Sardine Canyon, which could have been horrible if the tire had fallen off. Thanks Heavenly Father for watching over them and keeping them protected.

Cow Nap

As I was posting some updates. I heard Colton saying, "Cow nap, Cow nap". I looked over and he had this bouncy cow he got for Christmas that hasn't been blown up yet and had tipped the box over that has our new computer chair in it and was laying on top of it with his cow, taking a nap. It was cute. The picture isn't the greatest, but it was pretty funny!! He is constantly doing funny things. He keeps us laughing and on our toes.

"I Love You"

Colton's favorite thing to say lately is "I love you". It's so precious and so cute. Last night, he ran and got his blanket and said, "Blanket, I love you, I love you Blanket". I thought it was really cute.
