CRAIG GOT A BETTER JOB.... AT CITI

Thats right. I finally heard back from CITI. I accepted a job as a TAP (Talent Acceration Program) associate. Which is basically a 2 year manager in training program. We are so excited. I have been looking for an opportunity to join citi for quite some time and finally am able to. I will be starting on the 20th of july.
I wish to offer our sincerest grattitude to each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers and your support. I have no doubt that our Father in Heaven has heard our prayers and has decided that I have learned what I needed to. (or that I will never learn so I might as well work hahaha)
I also want to say to my loving wife how much she means to me. She has supported me like no-one else could. Through her faith and positive attitude I have been able to make it thru this dark part of my life. She never uttered a negative word about my loss of my last job and has been so supportive of me in all my endevors. She has worked so hard at her job to get extra hours and work as much as possible to help us meet our bills. I feel that if any good has come of this it is that I have grown to understand her love for me and my love for her.
I LOVE YA CYNTHIA!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Party when I get my first pay check........ everyones invited :)

Craig got a Job Whoo hoo

I am happy to post Craig has accepted a job as a psychosocial rehabilitation specialist. For now it is only part-time but I am so happy for him. He has really been starting to go crazy being at home all day and any time away will be great for him plus the extra money won't hurt. We are still waiting to hear from Citi for a full time job with them(this is the company I work for), but for the time being we are very grateful to our heavenly father for giving us this opportunity. We also want to thank all of you for your prayers and works of concern and encouragement. I guess now that he has a job I can start posting again so I will do my best.

So its Been a While.......

So we keep waiting to put up a new post until I (craig) get a job so we can post good news. But since the Lord see's that I am still in need of patience, I wanted to post a few things. Here are some pictures of when my family was here for graduation. So here are some from when we went to the bike park. We had a blast and I appreciate all the well wishing and congradulations. Working The teeter......

We don't have a single picture of ethan without a huge smile even though we kept making fun of his helmet (it wasn't actually his but its huge)

Even Danny had a huge smile on his face after a good save

Bob T working a sick turn.... props to my bro

Cynthia working a nice bank

I like to say this is dad surveying and pondering
the best way to attack the run but i dunno

Graduation

I am so proud of Craig. He graduated from Boise State University on saturday with his Bachelors in Psychology. We had a fun time with family and friends in town. Craig has worked so hard between working and school and it has now paid off. He isn't done yet though a few weeks ago he was accepted into the Masters Program at BSU for Instructional and Performance Technology.

THE BIKE PARK- the first visit.

Erik and Kathy's House

Kathy and Erik were nice enough to let us stay at their house both nights we were in Utah. We had a lot of fun visiting with them and some really good conversations about the gospel which I really appreciated.
Here are some pictures from our time with them. Just a little background. Violet Kathy's little girl is all girl. First thing she told me when she woke up was"Hi aunt Cynthia...oh wait I need my pink glass slippers" which is when she ran into her room and came out with pink ballet slippers on.

Kathy, Violet, and Myself

Trip to Utah

This last week Craig and I went to Utah for a few days. We really needed a break"considering the stressful situation in which we are living"(quote by Craig). Craig's best friend Dave Otis from high school got married in the Draper Temple and we were lucky it was during our spring break so we were able to attend. Before we went to their wedding we went to a session at the Salt Lake temple. It was wonderful. I have really started to appreciate the times I am able to attend the temple since I am normally so busy and am not able to go as much as I would like. It was raining when we got there but we took some good pictures.
When Daves sister Kim(green dress) went to Disneyland for a band competition she found these cute Mickey and Minnie hats for Dave and Amy. We absolutely loved them. Congratulations Dave and Amy we are really excited for you too.


The Conference Center. I love when the rain drops can be seen on the trees.
