gone so long...

I know, I know...its been waaayyy too long! Last post was our 2 month anniversary and now it's almost 1 year anniversary. I cannot believe it!! A lot has changed in the last 10 months.

I got a new job and then another new job and Joshua got 3 new promotions. In January I became a para professional for children with disabilities at Zanewood Elementary School in Brooklyn Park and I LOVE it there! I love my kids and I love the team I work with! It's hard not being at school everyday - even though it is the summer - I MISS my kids!! But sometimes God has other plans for us! Even though I love my job and my kids He has called me someplace new. On Monday I start a new job as a Behavior Therapist for children with autism. It is a good move for me. I will have more responsibilities and more hours which will be good. It is an hour away from where I live so it will be an adjustment for Joshua and me. I just pray that the Lord will surround us and keep us close and on God's track. I will let you know how the job is once I start.

Now for Joshua he is now a Derrick Hand on the oil fields. He was a floor hand, then tool pusher, then motor man and now a derrick hand. I am so proud of him and his dedication to his job. He is so good at what he does and it is evident because of what people say about him and because of how fast he is moving up the ranks! I hope to get some pictures of him more at work - the pictures he sends me is from his phone and they don't show much

This is a picture he sent me of where he stands. The pipes are to the left and right of him and that is the elevator in front of him (the elevator moves the pipes up and down to either drill or trip)

Here are a few pictures that sum up the last 10 months!
