Lots of Changes!

Oh my goodness, it has been a while! I finally have a moment to write a quick blog. Since my last post, we have been to Wisconsin for a visit, quit the full-time apartment manager job (I am now a part-time assistant manager) and bought a house of our own in Rexburg! Gabe has also started Kindergarten and Caleb has started 2-day-a-week preschool. Lots of changes in the Rhodes family! Josh is still a policeman, but everyone else in our family is making some big daily schedule changes. The biggest and most benefical one though, is that I feel like I will finally have more time to spend with my kids. As a manager, ever though I worked out of the home, I felt like I NEVER LEFT WORK! It was getting to be pretty overwhelming. Now I feel so happy to be able to do my four hours, then get in my car and drive home and spend the afternoon and evening with my kids, without any interuptions over AC's not working, or the volume on the movie theater not working, or a room mate complaint over dirty dishes! It has been SO NICE and it's only been a week since we moved out! We also feel so lucky to have found a brand new house that we love, just across the street from Gabe's school, that we bought from the owners/builders of our apartment complex for a really good price. Josh just thinks the one thing missing is a new dog...
that is one change that I am not sure I am ready for yet.
