Hey- we've already moved at least 8 times this year, why not do it again? :) I know we just moved to Utah and were only there for 3 months, but sometimes things don't work out the way you expected, right? Well, to make a really long story short, Utah was not working out for us the way we had wanted it to. We were looking into other options because financially things were not that great. Well, turns out Brandon got a position teaching 7th grade at American Heritage Academy in Cottonwood, AZ. We had one day to decide what to do. Well, we decided to take the job. We only had a few days to pack up, find someone to take over our lease and move. Being very sick and pregnant didn't help, but I made it through. Well, this same week my grandma had a stroke and a heart attack. My brother Renny found her laying on the floor by her bed. She had been laying there for about 36 hours. Because she had been laying there for so long she had developed hypothermia. So obviously that put a dent in our packing time. No one expected her to make it. So a lot of family came in to town to say their goodbyes. She did pass away a few days ago. I really didn't want to miss her funeral, but I really feel thankful that I did live close to her for a few months. We were able to spend a lot of quality time with her the last few months of her life. The funeral was yesturday. All my family was in town staying at her house. My uncle Bob was shoveling the driveway on the day of her funeral and suddenly had a heart attack. The ambulance came he ended up having to go in for surgery. He is now in serious condition. Well, my dads family has had kind of a rough week. It is interesting how timing works. Anyway, we are doing good here. Brandon likes his job and really loves the school. We are currently looking for a place to live.....hopefully for longer than 3 months.....or else I think I will go insane. :) We really are loving the warmer weather though! At least I am!!! Three months of snow is plenty for me. I got my fill for the year. Well, this is all I have to say for now. Peace out

Bless your families hearts. You have been through a lot. I hope you find a place to stay for a long while!
I'm sorry girl, let me know if you need Janel and I to ship off a care package!
I'm glad things are going well, but we sure do miss you 'round these parts.
I too hope you don't have to be moving anytime soon. You need a break.
Audrey! You are back in AZ, YAY!! I am sad to hear about all that your family has gone through. Once things get settled for you guys and you get a chance call me. We have a lot to catch up on.:)
Audrey,
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the warm weather :-). I'm sorry to hear about your family. You guys have had it rough. Our prayers are with you! The new neighbors moved in this weekend. I haven't had a chance to meet them yet. We sure miss you guys. We think of you guys at least once a day when William or Maxson get out the orange "spaceship" Brandon pawned off on us! Talk to you later!

Wow! I can't believe you guys moved again.
Sheesh, I hope things calm down for you now and you can call this home for a while! Sorry to hear about your Grandma and uncle. I hope I get to see you this summer, but no worries with the big belly and all. Good luck with this new adventure!
Audrey-Congrats on baby number #2! That is so exciting. Do you know what you're having? It sounds like the past semester was tough. I'm sorry to hear about your grandma and that you haven't been feeling well. I didn't know you were back in AZ! I haven't checked any blogs in forever. Are you here to stay? Sorry we keep playing phone tag! Hopefully we can chat one of these days. Little Cele is looking so big! She's a cutie:) Hope to talk with you soon!
