So, to recap: May Andrew started his new job (while still finishing up his Paradise Valley job). And we went to Utah for our New Hire Orientation. We had a wonderful visit with family! June we found out our placement in East Valley in Mesa AZ, and we found a house closer to his new school, Desert Ridge High School. July we moved to our new house...that was fun and stressful and crazy and wonderful all at the same time. We are missing being closer to family but we absolutely love our new home. It is perfect. August Andrew started his new job. That was fun and stressful and crazy and wonderful all at the same time...wait...basically that describes the entire summer. Yay! The boys are growing and happy so we are too :)
