Blossoming in the Desert


Thanksgiving was a few days ago, but I'm feeling a little leftover gratitude so I thought I would share it.  The opportunities abound for me in the desert and are bringing me closer and closer to spending every day with math.  I know that sounds like a nightmare for some, but I can't imagine spending my time any other way.  

I have been agonizing over the thought of having to spend a little time in the service industry, but I'm really hoping that I can find the income that I need through the school districts.  This week I'm going to find out more about what I need to do to get a job substituting or something else in the schools.  I'm hoping that my days spent in hotels and restaurants are over.  It's been a long time waiting on people.

I know this picture is lame, but it seems like when I see the really good views of the valley, I am driving and can't take a picture.  So this is the view from our balcony.  Daniel has the day off Monday so hopefully we can do some more sightseeing and I'll post some more pictures!

This Desert Life

This is attempt 3 on this blog post so I'm going to write very little and hope that the pics load...been having a rough time with internet connection.  But this is our temporary home!  Already having a tough time with housekeeping trying to get in to clean every day and the lack of our own stuff.  It's hard to cook when I'm lacking my cooking tools and we run out of dishes so quickly and have to run the dishwasher way too often.  Hopefully we'll be in our new place soon!
