First post

I've decided to start an account on this site since 3 other people I know have one. It seems to be a great way for family and friends to stay current with what's going on in our family.
Right now Matthew is in between jobs. He has had a phone interview with both Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and a hospital in Salt Lake city. JH is flying him up for an interview next Tuesday. Utah has stated that they would like to fly him over and has sent his information to HR. He also has a phone interview in Greenville SC this week and one with a hospital in Racine WI. So our options are very open. It looks like his best opportunity will be with Johns Hopkins. They want to teach him IR and Neurology. That will seriously expand his knowledge in his field and increase the job opportunities later. I have already been looking into housing in the area, and although I will not be able to have the land I have here, we will be able to have a nice house.
All 3 of thkids are in school now. Jayden is in half day 4k. He absolutely loves it. He does not stop talking about his day once he gets home from school. Our dinners are filled with stories of what went on all day at school. They are all so glad to be back in school. I am quite happy to have them in school! i get to have a couple of hours to myself! I've spent them going to the YMCA and am now able to clean house without them being underfoot! I really hope that Jayden can continue to stay in preschool once we move. He really needs the social aspect of it. He gets so bored at home when Aleyna and Brittin are at school.
All 3 are in 4-h now with their dogs. We get to help out at a livestock show this weekend. That will be interesting. I will probably keep Jayden home with Matt because it will be concession work and the like. He'll get bored.
This weekend we plan to work on the house, painting trim, cleaning, weeding, doing everything we can to get it picture ready for Monday. House will go on the market beginning of next week. It is a very stressful time, yet it is also exciting moving to a new place. I've always enjoyed the aspect of moving every few years when Matt was in the Army. You get to spend a good deal of time seeing new places.
