The Adventures of Emily Jean!

Bon Voyage Em! I (all of us) am so jealous....I hope you have a great time seeing the sights and learning so much. You have to document everywhere you go and tell us everything you ate. I mean EVERYTHING :) I love you!

Job Update....

Well, I know everyone is wanting to know whats going on with the job hunt-and really there's been nothing much going on. It's been harder to land an inteview than we expected, most likely because he has no previous experience. Anyways, he did get a phone interview with a VERY RURAL school district in northeast California! He felt very good after talking to the superindendant, and they were very encouraging in that they would want to set up an interview in CA. Here's a link to the district if you want to check it out- http://www.bigvalleyschool.org/
It's about 1 1/2 hrs from any sort of major shopping (gulp) and I'm sure there's a small branch (hopefully) somewhere! They are doing interviews at the school on Mon. May 5th, and if they want Troy to go, I think I'm going to go also so we can check it out together. Troy's mom said she could take the kids for a couple days, we'll keep Alex with us though. So it's all very exciting and scary at the same time. We're very aware that he may not get the job, and that's okay-we know we will be where the Lord want us to be. He is also looking at a job in Waitsburg, WA-which is another rural town 20 minutes south of Walla Walla (about 2 hours from Sunnyside). The superindendant invited him to take a tour of the school and community, so he is doing that on Monday, then they'll be doing interviews shortly after that, so we'll let you know what's going on!


Update-this morning (Fri) I got a call from Big Valley School District-they want to interview Troy! So I guess we're headed to CA on May 5th.....

Who are you?

Do You Belong in The Office?

My Result: Pam Beesly

Sweet as a well-stocked vending machine in the company break room, you're exactly the person people go to when they need a little pick-me-up from office politics and snooze-inducing meetings. Sure you can be a little shy, but that's exactly what makes you approachable in a sea of general nutcases. You show your true colors around the ones you really like.


Work may be a bit frustrating when you lie so low, but even a quiet type like you has the power to make it big. And you know, you don't have to play dirty to win — but it could be a little fun...

What are you?

my house

per Mom's request, here's a video tour of my
house...sorry it's a little shaky.

Alex gets his groove on

This is Alex's interpretation of the awesome dance move, 'The Caterpillar'. Although Michael Scott's sweet moves on the episode 'Booze Cruise' was pretty much amazing.

family visit!

Here are a few pictures from Dad, Em, and Trav's stop to
visit. It was great to see them...and Travis got his
Grapevine fix.

Blog security

My friend told me how to make our blog more secure without having to log in every time. I changed some of the settings, so our blog can't be randomly viewed by people unless they have the exact web address. So let's give that a try and if we find more weird comments from people we don't know we can go the password route. Carrie I'll have to check out that tracker thing you were talking about, it sounds interesting.
Stake conference tomorrow and Troy is singing with the choir so that leaves me with the munchkins. I went to the Dollar store and got a few things that will hopefully entertain them.
Wish me luck!
