Future
Another week closer to finding out where we will be going after this time in limbo between schools. I haven't had a fun time not knowing what to expect in our future and having half of our stuff packed away too. Chris went to Tacoma for an interview at the University of Washington for their PA program on Saturday in the middle of his drill in Boise. He flew out for a full day at the school and found out information and interviewed with several of the professors. We hope to hear back soon on their decision so we can start our planning soon and prepare ourselves for the future.
Claire
With hair that is getting longer every day, I can finally start making little piggy tales and might even soon have to trim her bangs. She loves to play outside in the crunchy leaves of fall and seems to be overwhelmed with how many leaves there are to play with usually. With the cold weather coming in, we have carried around her coat all the time since she moves to much to get any fat on her body. She is still our little girl and will probably always be that way because this is the same coat she got for Christmas last year! Still fits and is nice and warm for fall.
She came on a shopping trip to DI as I was looking for parts of our Halloween costumes and I was crazy enough to walk towards the toy isle. She reached out for the stuffed animal and we found this very fuzzy, bright pink bunny that she then wouldn't let go of the entire time we were there. Lucky it was a cheap thrift store toy and it made her happy so we spoiled her just a little for coming along for the ride. As you can tell, I still love dressing us up to match for Sunday's and members of our new ward took notice and of course I told them I do this on purpose. It is just too fun to match each other!
Work
In an attempt to save money when life starts picking back up with school for Chris, he has applied to work at the ER. He is very excited to extend his experience and knowledge in medicine before he starts PA school and we hope he starts soon. I'm still working early mornings for VIPKid and trying to up my classes to make a few extra bucks as well. I'm not looking forward to daylight savings because it will make me get up an hour earlier just to teach the same class times as before. China doesn't observe daylight savings and doesn't accommodate for us who have to deal with it either, I'm thinking about starting to work in the evenings instead. I have faith it will all work out though.
Reading
As I mentioned before, I want to make myself accountable in my reading of the Book of Mormon and I'm proud to say I am still on track reading 3 chapters a day. I will be entering 2 Nephi tomorrow and I am reminded of when I read the whole book in 40 days for a project when I was in Young Womens. We did a challenge as a group that was called "Closer to Christ" and I feel that now as I am learning about the overall story instead of reading separated chapter to chapter. I've been focused on finding when the Lord is mentioned and He is quite often involved in the life of Nephi and his family as they traveled in the wilderness.
