I'M a SOCIAL WORKER

So today was the big day of my social work licensure exam test. It's a big deal and it cost a lot of money each time you have to take it. With a lot of praying and some studying... I PASSED. I'm now a licensed social worker for the state of Utah.

Pictures!!

So my belly is big enough to hold a bowl. I laughed when the bowl didn't fall. It's nice because I can have a free hand to read at the same time.










This is what I woke up to on Sunday morning...SNOW on October 12th

Blessings and more!

So as most of you know Benjamin and I have been searching for jobs, well while we were looking we decided to go to the temple more often (it's the least we could do). After an amazing temple session on Wednesday we were both offered jobs on Thursday. It is amazing how the Lord blesses you when you are doing what is right!!

The jobs- We are going to be home parents at West Ridge Academy in West Jordon. It's a social work type job. They give us a two bedroom apartment and we can eat at the cafeteria whenever we like, which I have a feeling it wouldn't be that often. We basically live in a dorm with 16 boys (ages anywhere from 9-18) and act like their parents when they are not in school or counseling. The hours are something like 2-10 pm on Mon-Fri and you have Saturday off and then on Sunday we need to be there when the boys go to sleep. It is a great job for me to get my foot into the door of the social work field. It will be really good for having a new baby and for when we decide to go back to school. It's a lot of responsibility but it will be good for us.

The second job- Benjamin interviewed at a Bike shop for a part-time job, we all know how Benjamin is with his bikes!!! Anyway if he does get it it will be perfect with this home parent job because the home parent job is considered full time for both Benjamin and I. Plus it will bring in a little extra money. Benjamin likes to keep good connections in the bike industry too.

More blessings- we went to the doctor, baby and mom are doing great. I'm always amazed at how my body is carrying a little human being. The only down side of this healthy baby is that Daxton's head is huge, it's already 2 weeks ahead, he got it from his mommy and grandpa! The doctor says I'm carrying very low and I just say okay because I know no difference. I'm getting excited that Daxton is coming and that we now have an apartment to move into so that I can nest away and get ready for him to come. It's time to start shopping ( I never thought that I would say that with excitement)!

Things are working out for us as I knew it would, but it can be hard waiting for them to turn out! The Lord will bless you if you do your part!!

32 weeks...

So I'm wearing the same shirt from the last picture, and I'm getting bigger. It's fun to see it grow and feel all the moving. Daxton is an active boy just like his daddy.

Benjamin and I are STILL looking for a job for our growing family. We have had some interviews but nothing has worked yet, but I know that it will!
