January I was able to attend my company's Global Training Conference in Vegas. It was such an amazing experience as always. It was so good to be with so many inspirational people. Janson also starting school at the University of Utah.
February Janson was very fortunate to get a new job. He is now closer to home and I think he enjoys the atmosphere better at the new place. He is now working for an accounting firm. He is constantly learning new things there. We also have a new nephew. My sister had a little boy named Eli.
March was a busy month. Janson was busy with school work and boy scouts so I didn't see a whole lot. I will have to get used to tax season him being busy a lot with work.
April we did the biggest purchase of our life. We bought a house. We decided to look for a killer deal with the help of a Realtor. We were not in any hurry to get a home but came upon a killer deal that we had to go for right away before anyone else did. It was a foreclosed home and plan on being here for probably ten years. It is a great home and we are able to grow our family here. We also started to foster dogs. Our trainer works for salt lake county animal shelter and our boy Pablo has some dog issues so we decided when we brought him over we would have a dog here waiting for him. We fostered a sweet little pit bull puppy named Parmesan.
May Janson finished his first semester at the U. We also were able to get our foster dog Parmesan adopted. She went to such a cute family. I am so happy for her. It was hard to see her go but I know she went to a great family. We also went to Disneyland with my family. We had a ton of fun and Jenn's kids loved it. Annika who was about 2 and a half even road the Matterhorn.
June Janson started canyoneering and doing anything outdoors. We also got another sweet foster dog named Angel. She was a lab mix of some sort. She was so sweet and submissive the Pablo dominated her and she was so scared of him so we were going to have to take her back to the shelter but luckily a family called and wanted to come look and her and they wanted her. We were so happy she didn't have to go back to the shelter. At the end of the month Tanner, Jansons brother came home from his mission in Chile.
July we were able to go to Lake Powell with Janson boss and his friend Jordan. We were able to get Tanner to come along too. It was only my second time going to Lake Powell and my first time in a house boat. We had so much fun. I attempted to wake board but could not get up. On the other hand my amazing husband is pro. He was the best one there. He has so many hidden talents I don't know about. We also got our third foster dog. He is a pit bull - cattle dog mix. His name was Robin Hood, but we could not call him that so we named him Rafael, but for short Rafa. Him and Pablo get along so well. I keep debating on keeping him. I just cant decide. I want to still foster but I don't know if I can give him up.....
I will try to do better at my blogging, but that's the quick outline of the year so far.
