April Showers???

These past few days have been rain, rain, rain. I guess I can't complain, since April is the month for rain. I just hope that this means that spring is almost here, and there will be no turning back to winter. The sun has been so wonderful, that I think I will cry if the snow decides to come back for a visit.
I love the smell of rain in the morning....mmm

YAY!!

So, for those of you who know, Daniel has been applying to get into Optometry School for this coming fall. He interviewed in Memphis back in January, which was our number one place. We held off on applying at other places, hoping that he would get accepted, and not have to spend extra money on more applications and interviewing.

So, as time goes by, and we don't hear anything back, Daniel starts sending in other applications to other schools. At the beginning of April, he was invited for an interview in Philadelphia. This past week he flew down there. He had his interview which he said went really well, and then some students took him for a tour around campus. While on the tour, he received a call from Memphis. He was accepted.

We are so excited. It took them 4 months to make that decision, but now we are planning for the big move. Memphis here we come!! We will be moving mid August to the land of BBQ and blue-jazz. It's just so nice to know that we have a plan, and we are moving forward in the right direction.

YAY!!

Infertility Etiquette

This post might seem a little weird, but I found another blog of someone, who like me, is also struggling with infertility.

One of the hardest things to deal with when going through infertility problems, are the stupid things people say. I know that many people are just trying to help, be nice, or aren't exactly sure what to say. I have shed many a tears over things people, friends and family have said while trying to help. It's just such a sensitive topic....

So, while looking at this other blog, I found a link that spoke all about Infertility Etiquette. It's really good. If you don't want to read it all, just read the bold headings, but if you know anyone who is in the infertile situation, this is a must read!!

Number one rule: Don't tell me to relax!!

Guess Who??

Which Side Do You Stand??

Callings

So, about a month ago, I was called as an Activity Day Leader. I had no idea what that was at first, but it's basically like Mutual, but it's for senior primary girls. So I plan activities to do with the girls every week. After a looked online and getting some great activity ideas, I got really excited. I think this might be kinda fun. I'm over the 10 and 11 year old girls.

This past week, I was just called as the Young Women Girls Camp Director. WHAT??? So I am going to be a busy women this summer. I have only been to one girls camp ever, since they never had girls camp in South Africa, so if you wanna know, I have no idea what I am doing. I'm just glad that I am not planning it alone.

So now I have 2 callings that are totally out of my league. But, the Lord works in mysterious ways. I'm curious to see what He has in store for me=)

Visit from Nephews

No...... we haven't fallen off the face of the earth.

I know it's been a really long time, but I started a new job, and so haven't had as much time to write as usual. Not a whole lot has happened though, so it's okay. This passed week, we were lucky to have my brother-in-law, wife and four boys visit with us. It was so much fun. We hadn't seen them in over a year, so it was really nice. There was also a new addition that we hadn't met yet, so it was really nice. Here are some pics we took over the week.
