We are now fully employed.....

The picture above was taken with our new camera!! We recently purchased a new professional camera that is a canon rebel xlr. We are really in love with it and are learning everything we can to take the best pictures. We have even checked out a large stack of books from the library to enhance our picture taking abilities. These pictures makes my nikon cool pix pictures look bad now!!

Anyways the point of this post was to tell everyone Steve finally received a call this morning that he got the Tri-Med Ambulance job!!!!!!! He actually just got the job a couple of minutes ago, and I had to rename my post title! Yes....we are finally both employed and are very happy where we are. Today I am going up to my school to organize my cabinets and hang up some things in my classroom. I really like my classroom. It is very functional, a good size, (not too large like my last one), and has windows and tons of storage....plus a smartboard look alike a promethean board! Steve and I are very anxious to begin our new jobs and will have lots to learn. I am very overwhelmed at the moment with how different my new school is from my old school and the curriculum is very different. I will even be learning about salmon!! and tide pools!! and native americans of Washington!! The only native americans I learned were from Texas!! and the only thing I know about salmon is that it tastes yummy!! Wow I have a lot to learn this year. Steve is also jumping into a new career path and will soon have to do 24 hour rotations at work once he gets his reciprocity with his new certification. Then hopefully in the near future he will transition into firefighter!

Anyways, besides the excitement of our jobs, we are also going camping this week again! On Wednesday we will be going to colonial creek in the north cascades to camp until Sunday. Steve's sister Koriann and her boyfriend Alex will join the family on Friday to camp with us for the weekend. Maggie also has a friend with her so we will have a full camp site this time....with 3 dogs as well! We will be bringing along our new camera with us so be expecting some fabulous pictures....just pray it doesn't rain on us like it did for Barnapalooza this past weekend!

We hope you have a wonderful week and say prayers for us in our new jobs!!
