We had a fun, but, very active day yesterday as it was Preston's birthday. He asked every day last week if he was 5 yet, and I always had to remind him, not till Saturday. It's cute to see kids get so excited about their birthdays. (Why can't it stay that way for us adults?!) We invited his cousins to come with us to the Kangaroo Zoo. It's a big room filled with huge animal bouncy thingy's that are a ton of fun to go on! I especially like the very tall blow-up slides and amazingly enough, Sara did too. After, we picked up lunch and went to a park to eat and have hot wheels cupcakes (and a little more playtime for the kids so they get good and worn out for naps, which they did!) And for dinner we went to IHOP for pancakes which are his favorite. Despite a stomach ache in the afternoon, he had a pretty good day.
So, Richard and I have finally come to a decision about our life for the next year or so! Hurray! We are moving to a house in Pleasant Grove. It's still renting, but, we think this will be the last place we rent. The owners are great. They are moving to Louisiana for work and don't want to sell their house with the market being what it is right now. So, if we like the place and we can buy in a year, they may be willing to talk about price. I'm so excited about it! It has 3 bedrooms (unfinished basement), a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, a 2-car garage, 2 full bathrooms, and a big fenced in backyard with a grill and fire pit. The house is 6 years old and in a great location that seems safe and clean. My brother is the bishop of the ward which I have to say will be interesting. I won't have any problem staying on the straight and narrow! I'll have to get all my confessions to our current bishop before we move! :) It will be nice to live close to him and his family since he's my only sibling. We'll be moving to the new place in the middle of June, so I'm bound and determined to start now and sort through storage and get rid of accumulated junk! Good luck to me!
Richard is keeping his job at the church office building for now and he's going to finish his MBA and try to become a Japanese translator. We're hoping these will open more doors for us career-wise.
So, there you have it. Hopefully, none of this will change, but, knowing us and our luck, it probably will!

Have fun in your new place and tell Richard good luck finishing his MBA. We may be coming out this summer, so we'll let you know if and when. P.S. The kangaroo zoo rocks!!!
