So much has happened lately.
We have begun the big job hunt. Jonathan finishes his fellowship this summer so it's time to interview and figure out where to settle.
I have been blessed to go to interviews with him in Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho. There is some potential in the Arizona west valley. And he has two more interviews in Nebraska coming up.
To be honest, it has been really frustrating.
All of the practices Jonathan and I have been to have had some good things about them, and also bad things. None of them feel right yet.
We will just keep praying and going forward until we feel it is right.
One of the blessings of interviewing in Utah is that we were able to go to the viewing of a dear friend's baby. One of my friends in the ward, and sister-in-law to my BFF, Whitney, lost her 15-month-old baby girl.
I have cried and cried, and I am even crying know as I type this. It was unexpected and is so sad.
This sweet family has been on my mind constantly. I am so thankful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I am so thankful that families are forever.
As for the girls...they have been spoiled by Grandma as we have been out of town the past few weekends. I feel like they need to detox from sugar and tv. But they had a blast, and I guess that's what grandmas are for.
Sami and Janie love school. Sami comes home with so much homework, it drives me crazy. But I am thankful they are in a good school and I try not to complain too much or Sami will start complaining.
Life is good.

So excited for your upcoming decisions! I hope that something feels absolutely right to you and that it feels like an easy decision! And it was so good to see you - such a good surprise!
I needed an "Olsen Family Update" today. Sweet pictures! You need a hug, a super hug and I wish I could give it to you! So close your eyes and just imagine it coming across the miles from Arizona. I am praying for Jonathan and his employment opportunities-leaning for AZ, of course. Praying for bolstering your strength and beautiful smile - you are Wonder Woman and the girls match your beautiful spirit! Love and kisses!
Good luck with your search! I know you will find the right thing for your sweet family. Love and miss you all!
