Update

Hey there everybody,
So, Sorry it's been so incredibly long since I've posted anything. I guess Things have just been so unreal and busy that I don't have much time for stuff like this anymore. So, Matt and I have Moved to Globe Arizona. Matt is working as an English teacher at the HIghschool here. It's been a hard job for him and he would like to try teaching somewhere else, but we'll see if we get to move or not. I'm hoping that if we get a job offer somewhere else, it comes early in the summer becuase we are expecting baby #2 in September and I don't want to move when I'm too far along.
We are thrilled that we are going to have a new member in our family. We don't know if it is a boy or a girl yet. I think it's a boy, but Ethan INSISTS it's a girl. He even gets mad at me if I suggest it's a boy. He tells me every day that he's having a little sister. I guess we'll see who wins this one in about a week and a half.
We really love the Ward here in Globe. It's nice being needed. MAtt is serving as the Sunday School President an I'm teaching the sunbeam class in the primary. It's not easy teaching the kids that have just barely come out of Nursery. They're used to playing and running around and now suddenly, I want them to sit down and listen. I consider it an accomplishment if they can remember what the lesson was about at the end of class.
Ethan is growing up sooooooooo much. He knows how to count, he knows all of his upper and lower case letters and he is learning how to sound out words and how to write. His favorite letter to write is the letter H right now. We went out and coloored the sidwalk a few days ago and half of the driveway was covered in squiggly letter H's. It's pretty great. He can alos write the letter A, and T pretty well, so we just need to help him with the letters E and N and he'll be able to write his name! It's exciting, but sad to watch my baby boy growing up so fast.
So, I guess that's us in a nutshell right now. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can!
