News of all kinds!



First off, we have had another pretty chaotic week as Baylee has officially gotten 3 more teeth since my last posting 1 week ago. She has 4 total and is rather funny in the order 2 bottom middles and 2 top sides. Poor girl. I feel so bad for her but don't find it necessary to load the poor child up on tylenol quite yet. She probably hates me for that right now, but she'll understand. Shes actually been rather great considering.

We did get a chance to go for a walk one day this week and just went down from the house to the lake and played at the park a little. Baylee was not yet fond of the slide, in due time that will change. It was nice to get out and about despite the overcast weather. We went and hung out with Kelly and Caleb for playgroup on Valentine's Day for a while and decorated brownies for our boys. And mainly just enjoyed friends. Speaking of playgroup, I am, however, a little sad that I was just getting to know some wonderful new friends and will definitely miss getting out with the ladies and just relaxing and enjoying the company.

As most of you already know, but for those of you that don't, Cody's employer, Silver State Helicopters terminated all employees and shut down business on Feb 3 and filed Ch 7 bankruptcy the following day. We have been without a job and trying to figure out the best plan of action for us at this time. It's a hard deal with the size of the helicopter industry and the fact that the job market was overloaded with pilots(over 500 terminated) and few jobs to offer comparatively at this moment. The market will eventually work itself out but may take a while. Today we got official word, the one hopeful job prospect here didn't work out over in Lawrenceville, as the company was unable to regain the contract, therefore unable to hire Cody. We will be moving back to Utah. We are planning to leave Monday granted everything works on the tentative schedule. We are both thrilled for the fact that we will be close to Lilli for however long we can until Cody gets another job flying and in the meantime he will probably be delivering fuel again(details to follow as known) and possibly attending school to receive an additional endorsement for his pilot license.

We will be leaving some really great friends here, but the helicopter industry is small and the chances of us running into each other again, very high. So, once again, we are packing ... we made it a little over a year here. I really should stop counting but this is move # 18 for yours truly. woohoo. We will continue to keep everyone posted. And at the rate we are going by the time we get to Utah next weekend, Baylee will have all of her teeth. Haha.
