waaaayyyy over due!

Hello all! I am finally sitting down to update our blog- it has been way too long since my last post!

A little update: if you do not know by now we have moved to Sioux City. We moved September 11th and still have lots of boxes full and in "packed" away in closets, at some point I will get to them :) We're so happy to be in Sioux City where there is more to do & we can see Jesse's family and our friends more. It is also an hour closer to my home- which is amazing! After living in our fourth house...yes FOURTH house!!! I can finally say that we feel like we are finally home! Our house has everything that we want and need- it's located on the North side of Sioux City on a dead end street- which means NO traffic! We are hidden away from all the noise and action and surrounded by trees- it's almost like country living until you go down the street!

Jesse continues to work in Sioux Center at the bank- he drives 45 minutes there and back every day. I don't know how he does it- but I am so thankful that he drives and that I don't have to! Work is still going good for him and he claims to enjoy the commute.

I finally am employed....yes you read that right! After seven long months of filling out applications-revising my resume and going on interviews I finally found a job that is perfect for me! I work for Iowa State Extension-Woodbury County. I have a duel job where during the School year I teach a program called "Pick a better Snack" to the Urban schools in Sioux City. This program teaches the importance’s of eating fruits and vegetables along with living a healthy active lifestyle. I teach at seven schools and have 50 classrooms that I visit twice a month for 30 minutes each time. My other duties include working with the Woodbury County 4-H Youth. I recruit area kids to become a part of 4-h, help existing members and leaders, and keep all the paper work up to date. I love that I can be a part of 4-h, since I was a member for 10 years and loved every minute of it!

That is all that I can think of for now- I promise to keep this up to date better!
