wow...there's nothing else to say

So today my mom had a job interview at the seemingly perfect elementary school. It would be pretty close to the house they are trying to get, Jennifer would go to the middle school right next to the school and Stephanie and Andrew would be right down the street at Timpview. Miracle for the day...she got the job. They were so impressed with her. Also it looks like, if nothing catastrophic happens then they are definitely going to get the house. I am so amazed by all of this. It seems that God is truly creating the way. I am so grateful!!!

aching and baking

So I have had quite a bit of down time since I have been back to Provo. I am still job searching and trying to get over jet lag and stress of coming back and trying to figure out why I needed to be in Provo so badly. I guess I'll figure it out eventually...hopefully it doesn't take until my deathbed.
I printed off some pictures from Jordan and placed them on the walls in my room. I still can not get over how beautiful everything was. If I wasn't in some of those pictures I don't know if I could believe that I ever did something so amazing. It really changed my perspective and has really made me ache for traveling. I keep planning my next adventure in my mind. We'll see if that pans out someday, hopefully really soon.
Despite aching for my archaeology and digging I am doing pretty good with life here in Provo. I cooked this awesome dinner tonight and that was super great. I definitely did not eat this good in Um Sayhoun :) There are pros and cons no matter where you are. Good to remember, acknowledge and be grateful for the pros though.

I love the grass!!!

Well I am finally back home from Jordan. I was absolutely amazed how good it felt when we got back. I knew that I missed America but goodness gracious. I was also very happy to see grass again. Grass was definitely in short supply in my location in the good country of Jordan. Grass is nice, so are really green trees...yeah I like those as well. I'm still trying to get over jet lag. It's been pretty hard to say the least. I figured that I had been awake for about 52 hours. It was not the funnest of experiences and I finally ended up collapsing in sheer exhaustion at about 7pm last night. I was grateful to finally be asleep. It had been a long few days trying to get home but I am home now and all is super great!
