November/December

Well here I go trying to catch up again! November and December flew away like crazy! November was spent spending time with Rhett's family in Tucson. We got to spend time with his sister, Katie, her husband David, and our adorable little nephew, Ethan. He's growing like a weed. It was a pleasant visit, although I got sick Thanksgiving night (after the dinner fortunately). There must have been some bug going around because a couple days later, after I was feeling better, Rhett got sick. That wasn't too fun.

Now here's the month view of December:

Birthday: I had my birthday on the 12th. I turned 27....'nough said!


Graduation: Rhett finished his student teaching and graduated from NAU! The weekend before Christmas we went to visit his family, and we had a graduation "ceremony" for him! To my surprise, I was "graduating" too! I didn't walk when I graduated from ASU, so I was surprised by getting a cap and gown and walking with Rhett. His brother Mike was the "guest speaker," his dad directed the ceremony, and Mikah, our sister-in-law handed us our "diplomas." The ceremony was attended by family and friends, and it was very appreciated. :)

Job: The day before Rhett officially graduated, he was hired on as a music teacher for a K-8 school with the Peoria School District. That week he was called in for a screening interview (on a Wednesday), interviewed by a principal the following day, and was offered the job that same afternoon. It was such a blessing and crazy how it all worked out! We just know that someone is watching out for us!

Christmas: The same weekend of "graduation" we spent time with Rhett's family. Mike and Mikah came down with their two little girls from Pennsylvania. It was a short visit, but very much enjoyed. We also found out that we will be and aunt and uncle again. Mikah is due in June! :) We were glad to see Leora and Audrey! Christmas day was spent with my family. Our good friends Mike and Amanda spent it with us, and it was a good day of opening presents, watching movies, and playing games.

New Years: My niece, Zoe, spent New Years Eve with us and New Years day was spent playing games and eating lots of junk food with Diana's (my sister) in-laws. It was fun!

Well that about wraps up the past couple months! We've been very blessed! I'll let ya know how January turns out! So far, it's been doing well!
