Jon is still working for Haliburton and is currently located in Pinedale, WY. He comes home every 4 weeks and stays for 2 weeks. So far he likes his job but does miss us. He is hoping to get a different position in the company where he will be home more often. Other than work Jon inherited "Blue" from his Mom. She had promised Jon that he could have "Blue", which is a Chevy Truck, when she passed or such. Well it came a time she couldn't use "Blue" anymore so gave it to Jon. He is sure in love with this truck. It has had some running issues but is good when it works. The next time Jon is home he is hoping to get it in full working condition that we wont have to worry about it breaking down for a while.
Natalie turned 3 this last January and you can definitely tell she is loving how independent she is. Makes me proud and sad at the same time. She is willing to help me out cleaning the house, doing laundry and making dinner. She loves going to daycare and to her grandparents. Give her a movie and her Grandpa and she will stay there all day. Both of them. :)
Myself. I am still working for Intermountain Medical Group in the billing department. About 6 months ago I was promoted to Team Lead and I am loving it! Let's just say I could be a lifer in this job. hahahaha! I have adjusted to being home with Natalie most of the time without Jon. Most of the time though I do miss him. Other than Natalie does take over his spot of the bed while he is gone so it is not as bad at night. :) I am still currently playing co-ed indoor soccer at Let's Play Soccer complexes. Working on making 2 quilts for my Mom and many other small projects around the house. My main focus this year is getting my flower beds, gardens and backyard all finished by the end of the summer. It has been a challenge but I will overcome it in the end.
We bought season tickets again to RSL. We love being able to go and watch a game as a date night. Something that Jon and I have always love doing together. We also purchased tickets to the World Cup Qualifier on June 18th, USA vs. Honduras. Both of us have become more and more involved in the world circuit of futbol/soccer that our DVR has more games than actual TV shows or movies.
Family:
This past year or so we have dealt with many changes in our extended family. Jon's Mom and Stepdad moved down to Moab for a job opportunity. My Brother got a new job with Wells Fargo and moved him and his family to Denver, CO. We have done all we can to go and visit them as much as possible. Natalie and I were able to go and spend a few days with my brother and his family in their new home over Easter weekend. It was Natalie's first time flying and she did great! It made better that she was in her car seat but it was awkward having to carry it around with me through security. The airport security was amazing with Natalie to get her through the metal detectors.
It has been a great year full of challenges, happy memories, good times, exciting news, friends and family. Maybe this coming year I will be better at updating the blog. :)
Loves,
Mo
