logan didn't work out for us. as everyone knows, we have moved back to the great state of Idaho to the lovely town of Malta. There are numerous reasons why. the main one is money. our apartments that we were living at kind of ripped us off. lance's hours at his job kept getting cut, especially when school started. i couldn't find a job to save my life. and the school kept asking for an extra $2,000 every other week and eventually we ran out and couldn't pay anymore. so now we're living in The Raptor. The Raptor is a fifth wheel camper/toy hauler. my brother and his wife lived in it for a year in North Dakota and in Provo. now it's our turn. we have hyrum's crib in the garage and a heater blowing on him to keep him warm during these cold autumn nights. the mice are terrible. they like to be loud and noisy at night. we're getting cats to solve our problems with the vermin. it's good to be back home with creature and our families. creature is excited to have his lance home. he goes everywhere with him. and looooves to ride on the back of the flat bed truck.
lance right now is working at the mink farm and for his dad. i'm working at Bake Central on Mondays and Tuesdays. i was lucky to get that job. i got it because we were sitting next to valerie at a volleyball game and mom asked if they needed any help and she said yes so i volunteered. that next monday i started making sandwiches and pizzas. by the way....i'm sooooooooo freaking bad at rolling out pizza dough. i'm still doing the envelopes for Harris Brothers and i'm doing laundry for my mom and cleaning for her and cleaning for Lance's mom when she needs help. i started picking potatoes for the Steeds but when i can't find baby sitter for hyrum, i don't go. i don't want to have to pay someone to watch him when i would probably just be using all the money i make. it's really hard for me to leave hyrum. i spend the rest of the day after i get home to him just playing with him and loving on him. and he usually doesn't want to leave me either. if i put him down he has a spaz attack. when i work at bake's my mom watches him on the day she doesn't teach and he goes with lance the other day. Lance's boss's wife loves him and is always offering to watch him so that'll be handy. i really don't like leaving him. it's the hardest thing i have ever had to do. you know...besides the miscarriage...which still sucks so bad.
we haven't been able to make it to the temple since we left i really want to go sometime soon. i think having the temple right there and ready for us to go to helped us a lot with the miscarriage. we do go to church with our ward though and we love it. aside from giving talks the second week we were there. lance gave a really good talk about his role as a father. i gave a rant about how i grew up and my role as a mother. ugh it was so bad.
we have appointments with CSI to check out doing online general courses to get some credits out of the way. lance talked to the fish and game guy here in cassia county and he said that he would have a better chance of being hired if he had some law enforcement under his belt and to be a reserve deputy, to get a wildlife degree, and to volunteer with the fish and game. i think he's going to do a ride along with doug, the fish and game guy, sometime in the next couple weeks. he's excited to start getting his foot in the door. i'm excited to get our life in order. i feel like the last couple months have been disaster after disaster and it's not giving up any time soon. i guess we'll just have to stick together and keep doin what we're supposed to and we'll be ok eventually.
