square one.

there's big news in the Chateu de Giddens. Only time will tell if it's good news or bad news but presently, it's extremely stressful news.

Taylor unfortunately got laid off from his job here in Savannah yesterday. It wasn't his dream job by any means but it definitely paid the bills (and we sho got a lot of those). AND so it opens the doors of opportunity for him to find something more fulfilling but it closes the door of [mild] financial stability. Fortunately, we will have a normal income until the end of September, but we've been here before (job hunting for months and months) and it's not any fun.

It's a little exciting, knowing that a big change is coming and not knowing where we are going to end up but it's also SCARY! I felt so blessed when we ended up in Savannah because it's so cute and close to family. But maybe we won't get so lucky this time. Heaven forbid we end up somewhere in the midwest OR WORSE, somewhere where it snows! (Utah is the only place I would tolerate that, and that's only because it's a state that holds so many people I love.)

Ideally, we would stay in Georgia. (Atlanta/Savannah/Valdosta) But if I have learned anything in this crazy ride of married life it would be that the ideal isn't always what you get, but it's fine because all of this crappy stuff helps us grow. 

Anyway, if anyone knows of any material science jobs for Taylor, send them our way.

Also, pray for us...

an official announcement.

I am excited to officially announce that Taylor and I are becoming parents for a SECOND time.

and when I say parents I mean dog parents. We are getting another dog! and, perfectly enough, another Havanese! I will have two little white fluffballs running around my house. I CAN GET THEM MATCHING OUTFITS.

We've been talking about it for a long time and I think this might be a little crazy (CRAZY FUN!). But Lux is so lonely and my great aunt has to get rid of her dog because she's only allowed to have 2 at a time where she lives. Which is really sad for her but really awesome for me. I'm not totally sure when she will be here yet but probably sometime in the next month.

Her name is Cricket and this is the only picture I have of her and it's 4 years old. But she is just so sweet and I am just elated. I love doggies.
