Some exciting changes coming our way!

Hello! I know it's been a while since I last posted here. Let's see what's happened since then? Calvin finally started his baseball team. They've had 2 weeks of practice so far. We found out that we may be losing our head coach because his son is much better than the rest of the boys and he should be playing at a higher level. We were a bit bummed out to hear about this, but it will all work out fine. Dwayne and the other assistant coach are prepared to take over if need be. We just hope Calvin will remember that when Dwayne is coaching him, he's his coach and not his dad. The season opens on March 29th. There will be a big ceremony and they will get their pictures done and such. When that happens I will post them here. I don't get to pay much attention at his practices because I'm so busy chasing Zach off the field. He wants to go out and play with his "Diddy" and brother very badly. I'm almost dreading when the season officially starts because I don't think I'll be able to actually watch much of the games.

You may be wondering by the title of this post..........what changes are coming our way? Well, we will be moving soon indefinitely. Our landlord can no longer afford our house so he's going to let it go. We're kind of sad about this but at the same time kind of relieved. We always felt like we were a bit trapped in this house because the owner is a friend of Dwayne's from work. We like the house (I LOVE the kitchen) but it's on a busy street and the backyard is big but just a bunch of dirt. So we will be glad to hopefully get a place with a yard.

But.......we're really keeping our fingers crossed and saying a little prayer that we'll be moving back to Arizona instead! A few weeks ago Dwayne applied for a GIS job at Maricopa County in Phoenix! He had a phone interview last week and it went very well. He recently received an email saying they will set up a face to face interview about the 2nd week of April. We are very excited about this to say the least! It couldn't have come at a better time with school being almost out and us having to be out of this house soon. There's even a few "Murphy's law" things that have fallen into place as well. So PLEASE everyone keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, send out positive vibes....whatever it is you do! We need it. We don't mind living in Las Vegas but it would be so great to be back in Arizona surrounded by close friends and family!

Well, that's about it for now. We're all doing fine. Calvin recently got his report card and it was all great. Zach is growing like a weed and is such a little comedian. Ada is hanging in there with her kidney disease. Archie is slowly adjusting to being around screaming jumping kids. Dwayne is enjoying coaching and spending more time with the boys. Me, I'm just the same.....cooking, barely cleaning and trying to muster enough energy to start purging this bulging house of junk before we move! I'll keep you posted on our impending move!
