Wow! A lot has happened since my last post. Let's see......? I think I'll start with the Arizona factor. We finally heard from Maricopa County and they have decided to not fill the position. This probably has a lot to do with the economy and salary restraints. It really doesn't matter to us. I didn't post this last time because I didn't know about it; but when they were interviewing Dwayne they said that they "googled his name and nothing came up". I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd be glad of that fact. Well, these folks weren't, they were disappointed that he hadn't written any papers or belonged to any committees. So, I'm actually glad he didn't get the job. Who wants to work with a bunch of pretentious snobs like that? My moving back home isn't as important as Dwayne having a job he loves and that loves him back. He has that now and it's a great thing.The price on our house was dropped significantly. In one wk end we had 5 calls and 3 people show up. Thankfully one of those people were investors, and get this........ they loved us! They put an offer on our house and if it goes through, they want us to stay! YIPPEE!!! As of June we no longer pay rent! The longer it takes for the paper work to go through the better! The more money we save!!!! Needless to say, we are very happy with this out come. We hear that there is a slim chance the bank will sit on the deal for months until it falls through, but that's OK with us as long as we can save money to move!
In case some of you weren't aware..... Dwayne turned the big 4-0 at the end of April. As you can see from the following video he wasn't too thrilled about it. We didn't have a big fan fare about it (yet) but we're glad to have our OLD MAN!
We went to Zion National Park this last wk end. It was so beautiful! It's only a 2.5 hour drive from our house. We're hoping to make many more trips up there. It was so amazing, when we crossed into Utah it was suddenly green and beautiful! How come those Mormons had to take one of the prettiest states?! =)
You may also notice from the top of this post that we finally got Calvin's baseball pictures in! Doesn't he look so handsome? He's really beginning to improve a lot. Tonight he even got an out while playing 2nd base! He also recently received the game ball for getting a good hit that brought in 2 runs! I just wish I had the camera for that one. One of the coaches said he's never seen a kid so excited and happy to get the game ball.
Well, that's about it for now. I will keep you all posted on our living situation. Keep your fingers crossed that we won't have to move any time soon! We hope you're all doing great! Much love!
