Here We Are!

The crazy fast summer is over. And, it has been crazy. We were supposed to move mid August but the week before we (when I say we I really mean Nathan) decided that we didn't want to rent anymore. So, we have been trying to get someone to give us a home loan. . . it may be a few more months before that pans out. If anyone has talked to me personally then you probably know I had to eat some words I may have said at the end of the school year. I won't reiterate them. I still have hope that we will get moved by Christmas.
In more exciting news, we found out that we are expecting another baby. I am only about 9 weeks now and haven't even gotten to the first doctors appointment. It seems like things are going pretty normal so far. Nate and I already have a bet about whether or not it will be a boy or a girl. It's a girl . . . I am telling you right now. Nate thinks I am crazy. We'll see who's crazy. :)

So, aside from those things, I have also started working full time with Utah Virtual Academy. Still special ed, just a bigger case load and I am still working from home, which I love. Aside from the distractions (housework, children, and the list goes on and on). Nate has been working with his new company, Accu-System, for about 8 or 9 weeks now. He mostly redesigns machines that are made to cut wood cabinets or a ton of other wood things. He likes it there. The people and the job. It's a pretty secure job since the engineering team only consists of himself and an electrical engineer. Our two jobs together are a much needed blessing and the only reason we can even think of buying a house right now.

Now, summer has been filled with a lot of fun. Recap.

Isn't this the cutest picture of my girls. Rachel has turned into an excellent big sister and it shows.
We had our Stalker family reunion at Jordanelle. It was a lot of fun as usual.

We went to Lagoon. We debated because we went on one of those terrible rain storm days. It poured rain until about 1:30 but we trudged on and the sun came out about 2pm and stayed out for the rest of the day. We had a fabulous time. I was so glad we still went. Half the reason was because a couple of years ago the same thing happened and we chickened out, only to have the sun come out about 12:30 and taunt us for the rest of the day. I was not going to let that happen again.

For a catch up blog, this is short. Coming soon are the first day of school, Ben's birthday and baptism, and then the girl's birthdays as well. I am sad to see summer go, but glad to have some structure again. I'll be back soon. :)
