Moving on to bigger and better things

The past few months we have been on the hunt... for a house! We really thought that it was a great time to buy with low prices, low interest rates, and $8,000 free tax credit. We worked with a realtor, who was really nice and helped find a bunch of houses for us. We were all set with our home loan even. We found some interesting ones which are major fixer-uppers (to say the least) and some that were really small with no yards, some really cute nice ones with huge yards... such a variety! Well, we  found the house we thought was for us. We felt good about it, it was nice, had a beautiful yard, but it was just a little small. We were not going to be able to stay there for long if we were planning on starting a family anytime soon. We went with our parents to look at the house again and get their opinions. This was SUCH a good idea because they gave us insights and things to think about. Well, after looking again and thinking about it and talking about it and lots of prayers we felt completely different. So, we finally decided to hold off. So we are not moving on to bigger and better things with a house... BUT we were called into the Bishops office.... We had only been in as the sunbeam teachers for 2 months! We were not ready to be done! But our bigger and better callings are working with the youth in our ward. I am now the 2nd counselor in the young womens and Tobin is the 1st counselor in the young mens. We are both excited and hope to be able to help the youth. Our sunbeams were fun, usually there were 5 kids, but the last week was only 4 boys! Here are the highlights of our last class together....


Some REALLY big muscles!


Thumbs up!!

Boys will be boys!



Carter, Kayden, Other Kaden, Jamal (blondest kid in the class with that name... how cool?!)
I love the untucked shirts and sloppy ties, typical 
3 & 4 year old boys!

These kids are a handful, but SO cute and SO fun! We will miss them in class for sure!
