I'm so sorry to be so behind on our blog so here are the highlights of the last 6 months:
*Ryan Graduated with his masters in Business Administration from BYU
*We went on a graduation trip (no kids!) to Hawaii with a bunch of friends
*Ryan Landed a very coveted job with a huge healthcare network called Health Management Associates and is currently working as an Assistant CEO at the Statesboro Regional Hospital (he is absolutely loving it!)
*We moved to Statesboro, GA and Ryan's mom came out and helped me find a place. Seriously one of the best helpers on earth to have around, and tons of fun.
*I'm a group x instructor at a gym here and LOVING it. I just went in to get a membership and when they found out I was a trainer they asked if I would teach some classes. And since I would get a free membership and free childcare I figured why not! I am enjoying it a ton, it is so fun to get paid to workout!
*Talmage turned 4 and is getting a little easier. He has ADHD so is a definite handful but as long as he is learning something he is perfect. Has been doing summer camp and loving it.
Ok, quick update on what we have been doing in the south:
Ry's company paid to ship our cars out, fly us all out, pack and move our entire house (I didn't pack one box!), live in a Marriott in Savannah until we found a house, and is paying all of our food for 2 months. Needless to say I have felt quite spoiled. It is crazy to go to any restaurant and get whatever you want all day long and have it paid for! Works at the grocery store too. We have been eating at tons of fun places but when this is over I'm going to be cooking everyday cause I have been stocking up on food! We got a season's pass to a waterpark here and go several times a week (it's 5 minutes away!)
Luke is a complete doll and a super easy kid, he is happy all the time and is down for whatever.
I have made tons of friends here because the ward is so awesome. Everyone has been so welcoming. A bunch of the mom's in the ward organized our own summer camp so we meet at the church from 10-12 every tues/thurs and do crafts, sports, games, etc. Talmage and Luke love it. I am so greatful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where I can have friends and helpers wherever I go! There are 4 LDS families in our neighborhood, including 3 great babysitters and Talmage's new best bud. I absolutely LOVE the south and being in a small town. Before we got here I wasn't sure what I was going to do all day but it turns out that this town has everything you need! I love not having to drive on any freeways, deal with any traffic or construction, and how much calmer daily life is. People stop and talk to you everywhere- no one seems to be in a hurry. Ryan's favorite thing that he has had to do for his job so far is arrange (and compete) in a golf tournament for the hospital. He has been able to golf at least once a week with doctors so on father's day him and I went to the driving range to practice:)
Everyone has huge yards (we are on an acre!) and there are very few cars to worry about when the boys are playing. The only thing that I do not like here are the gnats! Someone told us about a good all-natural spray though that works wonders so that is always in my purse. Talmage does frequently say though that "georgia has lots of bugs". We are 45 minutes from Savannah, and hour from the beach, 2 hours from Hilton Head (going there tomorrow), 3 1/2 from Atlanta, and 5 hours from Disneyworld. We are excited to be able to go so many fun places. We definitely miss our family though and hope they can come visit soon.
I hope you all are doing fantastic and I will try to find more time to blog so six more months don't go by!
p.s. I typed really fast so sorry if there are a bunch of grammatical errors (trying to do this while Lukey is still sleeping!)
