Signed, Sealed, Delivered

If you hadn't noticed, I only blog once a month now. Also notice: this is an improvement from last year! As I've mentioned before, I'm super busy with going to BYU full-time and being a wife and mother, so I know you don't expect any more of me :o)

On to the news...

We're moving to Austin, Texas and we're thrilled!! Last month I blogged about Darren's interview in Austin with National Instruments. Well, he nailed the interview and less than a week after we left Austin they called Darren and told him to expect an offer in the mail. Just last week we mailed off the acceptance letter. We loved what we saw in Austin, Darren really loved the company, and the offer was better than expected, so it was pretty much a no-brainer to accept the offer. Darren's first day at NI will be August 15th, less than a week after I finish summer semester.

It's going to be a crazy busy four and a half months until we move to Texas, but we couldn't be more excited.

All the emotions

By
Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
