Well hello... Yes, we are still here. It's been a crazy couple of months, to say the least. This season we have been extremely blessed, as I'm sure you have been. My hope is that you find the things in your life to be grateful for.
This year I am grateful for my family. I have a wonderful family. So blessed, so very, very blessed. I am also grateful for my health and for the health of my loved ones and that we are all here and safe, and weather we are together or apart, we are still connected.
We have been SO fortunate to take a job for a great company this month. After a long and courageous battle with the mortgage and real estate industry we have chosen to seek life elsewhere- well at least Ryan has. I will be taking over the business and continuing to hold my position as CEO and domestic goddess. Just this past week I put in my first offer on a short sale home in Eagle Mountain!
It is most likely the case that we will also be relocating to... (brace yourself) Vernal. Yes, it's true. The upside (which is where I am aiming to focus) is that I will be near family (this could also be... interesting) and I will most likely have the chance to build a new home in a carefully selected area (gated, private lane with no trespass posted). Alright, I'm kidding, about the gate.
In the meantime I have been VERY productive as I am playing the part of single mom while Ryan is getting situated and going through training. He is really excited and so am I. In the Oil Field, you are pretty limited to the position you might get. It's all pretty grueling work and in extreme conditions. Fortunately (there is that word again), Ryan landed a pretty prestigious position! The benefits are out-of-this-world and the pay should be great too.
We will be staying with my Mom. She has gracefully invited us to stay with her for as long as we need to. Amanda and the boys are there as well so I am really excited to get to spend some quality time with them and for all of the kids to be able to play together.
And for our precious baby girl, Ella, I don't think she really cares as long as she has her shoes, minki, and her baby.
She is such a chatty girl these days! I was trying to recall all of the things she can say and it's impossible! Jammies, candy, cookie, shoes, puppies, kitty cat, Jake, Cash, Gracie, meow meow, baby, mimi, outside, downstairs, poop, ca ca, beans, milk, juice, water, lights, Thad (Farrah's little boy), hat, purse, the list goes on and on. She also knows a few signs- please and thank you (which she also can say and exercises regularly- especially if we are talking about candy or cookies), milk, all done, more and of course cookie.
She clearly understands what I am asking her because she also says "no" and "ges" (Yes).
...Ryan always says "Happy Wife, Happy Life" I have to agree.
I hope this Blog entry finds you well and we wish you all a magical holiday season!
Love, Hugs and kisses,
Tiffany, Ryan and Ella Michelle XoXo
