Getting into a new routine...

Well, I've been orienting to my new job for a week now.  I'm going to be working as a field nurse for a home health agency in Murray, UT.  Everyone I have worked with so far has been really nice.  I think I am going to enjoy it.  Jake is busy in the school office getting ready for next week, and having teacher meetings, working on things like class schedules and budgets-- fun stuff like that.  The boys are (reluctantly) adjusting to a routine, going to be at a reasonable hour and getting up in the morning and leaving.  They are spending time at Kid's Place (at the school) while Jake and I are working.  The good thing about my job is I will not have to work weekends, except for occasionally taking call.
   
Gertie and Eddy have had no close encounters and so all is well in the animal kingdom.

School starts next Wed, the 22nd.  I don't have to work the 20 or 21st, so I'm hoping to come up with something fun to do with the kids.

I have a few new pics to share.  Last Saturday evening, we went to see the "balloon glow" in Sandy.  There were several hot air balloons stationed near city hall and they were lit up at dusk. I guess they had flown them early that morning, as well, but we weren't able to see that.  They had a live band playing some folk music as well.

Settling in...

Since most of our unpacking is done, here are a few pics of our place.  We are currently renting a townhouse, waiting for our house to sell in Ohio.

Welcome, Eddy

We have a new addition to our home today, a Beta fish named Eddy.  The boys and I picked him out and now we will wait and see how long it takes Gertie (our cat) to notice him and if she wants to make him into a snack!  We have him stationed atop the movie shelf in the living room for now.
