Happy March!



Holy cow - I lost another month!!

Well, our plans have started to solidify this past couple of weeks. It's funny how one decision can change the path of your whole life. I guess that's how we've been living this past few months. I didn't get the job in Moab, but I'm doing okay with that. About two weeks ago, I started feeling like I wouldn't get the position. Apparently around that same time one of the spa's former employees contacted them and asked if they had any open positions. Of course it made more sense for them to take someone they had already trained, so after hearing this I'm not surprised by the way things turned out. I'm really not upset about it. I have the slight feeling of letdown, but I think it's mostly because we were getting anxious to have some change in our lives coming so soon.

So what does this mean for us? We are going back to the plan we had before we looked into the Moab job. We hope to be moving up to Washington (Olympia or Seattle areas) by late spring or early summer. We're still going to be staying with my parents until then and saving our money. We're not going to make it to the Spaulding family reunion in July, but it looks like we'll make it to the Fawcett family beach trip in August.

We are so grateful for your thoughts and prayers; we know they are helping us get where we need to be. Thanks again for everything!

YAY! I'm bummed for you not getting the job, but mostly I'm happy that you will be closer soon! We miss hanging out with you guys! The traditional Fawcett family beach trip is off this year, but we'll do a family trip with mom. Jeremy and I want to go to Yellowstone this summer and Mom wants to come with. If we can convince you guys and John to come too then we can make it our own Fawcett-Higginson-Gunn-Kidd family trip :)
