Catching Up

A lot has happened in the past few months. As with every year the holidays were a busy time. With both of our families so close we were able share the holidays with both sides. For Halloween we spent the evening hanging out with the Wallingers and Seenos.

Kelsey's entry in the office pumpkin decorating contest

Thanksgiving and Christmas we were able to split time with both families, and it was especially fun to play with the little kids that we don't get to see a lot.


Work has been going well for both of us. I have recently finished a long term substitute position in a 7th grade math class. It meant having to drive back and forth to Oakley each week, but it was nice to have consistent work for a few months. Now it's back to the day to day calls from the various school districts. Although, lately I have been getting calls pretty regularly. Kelsey is still working at Oak Hill Cemetery and continues to learn more aspects of the accounting office.

We both also find time for various hobbies. Kelsey is still making cards, she is especially excited about using the new Cricut she got for Christmas. She does find it hard to find spare time to do crafting now that she works full time. I have become interested in working on family history and have found a lot of cool stories and experiences. We have also added HAM radio to our list of hobbies. We went with Kelsey's dad and have passed the test to receive our licenses. We are still learning about it, but Bryce is excited to help us, so it should be fun.

Yeah, it is a totally mess free way of decorating pumpkins. Everyone in the department took a small pumpkin and made some sort of animal. They turned out way cute.
