Constant Changes

So, there has been quite a bit of change in our lives lately. Casey was laid off at Deloitte very unexpectedly and suddenly the first week of September. It was pretty scary for us. With a mortgage and a little boy, we were pretty much paralyzed for a while. But, we have come through it just fine. I was able to work at a few dental offices temporarily while Casey was on the job hunt.

Right before his severance was up, Casey started working for Scentsy, yes the scented wickless candle company! Their corporate headquarters are here in the Boise area and Casey is a staff accountant there. We are really grateful that he has a job. However, he does want to get back into public accounting. He worked really hard last year, while he was working for Deloitte, and he became a CPA in August. So, we are still in the planning phases of what is going to happen in the next 2-3 years. Casey will be taking the GMAT this December (please keep this in your prayers) and if his score is good enough then he will be applying to grad school to start next fall. Our first choice of schools is BYU Provo. They have a Masters in Accounting program, and as members of the church, he could get a great education (even ranked better than Harvard) for a great price.

We'll keep you posted. Thanks to all our friends and family that have been praying for us and supporting us. We have been truly blessed during this crazy time and we really appreciate everything. We love you all so much!

I'm a blogger now!!

Hi Everyone! There is always so much going on with us, and I feel like I don't get to tell everyone enough through facebook. So, since most of our loved ones are so far away, I thought I'd start a blog so we can stay better connected! I hope you love it, and I hope I'm good enough to keep up on it! Love you all!
