The Real Hannah Montana

I am in NC right now and so far, so good. It's nice and warm, not as green as MN, people at Walmart were friendly (where else do you go to check out the town's vibe?), everyone talks funny -I feel like I have to talk with a southern drawl. I'm waiting at my hotel for the realator to call and show me around. Interviews tomorrown a.m. and I checked out the hospital - it's nice - not Mayo Clinic - but nice. So, anyway, here's some catching up with pics:

Spence graduated...with honors (much to his surprise when they announced it). CHS: the best 5 years of his life:)

Nate in wranglers and suspenders - scary I know, but we happened to visit in prime lambing season and so Nate spent alot of time out helping with the sheep. And when in Rome...

Moving to the Tarheel State

Well, it's official!...actually, not quite, but close enough. Nate received the unofficial job offer at Monroe Early College High School in Monroe, NC, as a 9-12 Social Studies Teacher. The only thing left to do before they can offer him the contract is to have the school board approve him (which apparently they always do). That will happen Monday. I'm so excited for Nate to begin his education career. And we're so excited to be moving to beautiful NC - now all we have to do is sell this house. Ugh....not even a single offer yet.

Checking e-mail wears a girl out!

"I wish I had _____" mode

Sometimes, I look around and feel like everyone's life is more glamorous than mine. I start to think "oh if only I had ____ or could do _____." I hate the way thinking like that makes me feel. It yields an ungrateful attitude and puts me in a bad mood. I could be a very materialistic person if I let myself and I think Satan really tries to prey on this weakness to make me unhappy. My mom sent me this book for Mother's Day. It's by Gordon B. Hinckley and it is so beautiful and uplifting. It's my kind of book - one that you can read and focus one page a day. So, whenever I start to go into my "I wish I had _____" mode, I will pick up this book and read a few pages and center myself around things in life that actually matter and make me truly happy. Thank you so much Mom!

Happy B-day Britt!

Hannah and Grandpa Steve

Guess the headband slipped down on our way to church....Hannah didn't even cry, poor little thing.
