Catch up

We have many updates to tell everyone about. First, Tyler has been busy working at Fastenal this summer saving money for college. He had good news come from the bigwigs that their audit they had went well. He was very relieved and happy since he counted 90% of the inventory. He will also be transferring to the Ames Fastenal in the fall when he attends ISU where he will work a few hours a week for some spending money. This weekend he went to a concert in Des Moines and hung out with some ISU basketball players. He said it was one of the best days in his life. 

Our next bit of big news is Steve got a new job and will start July 28th. He will be the program manager at Franklin Energy in Urbandale. The company designs, develops and manages energy efficiency programs for businesses and homes across the nation. He will only have a 7 mile commute which he is most looking forward to. 

Then our biggest news of all is Steve and I bought a house in Polk City! We close on August 15th. Although we won't be moving in until the beginning of September. We are going to be doing a lot of renovations for the first couple of weeks so we will be living with the Smith's. We are very grateful to them to let us bombard the guest room for an extended stay. 

The middle of August we will be moving Tyler to college. Then when all the dust settles I had decided I will take a break from nursing and nanny for Everlee and possibly our distant relatives the Millers. Hollie and I had actually decided it quite some time ago but now it will be a reality. I feel like the luckiest wife, mom, sister and aunt alive!  

The summer has gone by so fast and these next few months will surely be a whirlwind also.
