Moving to Provo (Spanish Fork)

Well Ty had a job interview two weeks ago for a tech support job at Neovest in Provo. He was offered the job Friday and we decided to accept it! We are going to be moving there in a week and a half! Ty has to start October 12th, so we are going to have to pack things up and move quickly. We are going to be staying with Grandma and Grandpa Cook until we can take care of things with our house in Idaho Falls and find a different place to stay. Sadly I don't think Grandma and Grandpa want Angel, the cat, living in their house. So if anyone reading this is interested in a two year old black cat, spayed and declawed, just let me know. We are desparately looking for a good home for her. It makes me cry to think of giving her up, but we don't have much of a choice right now :(.
We are going to miss our family here in Idaho Falls, but we are hoping this will be a good move for us. Especially with the economy the way it is right now, we feel blessed to have found such a good job to support us.

WALKING!

Well she took her first steps on Sunday morning and believe it or not I MISSED it!!! I was a little upset that I am with her the most and I wasn't there when she took her first step! I was sick in bed and Ty came running in with Crystal saying "Watch her, Laura!" At first I thought he was telling me he was leaving her in the room with me and I had to watch her now so I said "No" and didn't bother rolling over to see. He said "You are going to want to see this!" I realized she must have done something new so I rolled over to see what the excitement was about. He leaned her up against the bed and took a few steps back and after a little concentration she walked to him! In just the past two days she has already gained amazing control when she walks, but she will only do it if someone is in front of her. We walk backwards as she walks toward us to keep her moving. Tonight I video taped her walking to Ty, so I could put it in here.

I can't believe she's growing up so fast!!! Just a few months ago we couldn't get her to crawl and now she's already walking!

Catching Up!

I know I know I'm terrible at keeping this updated. Its been like 5 months since the last time I posted anything and I've been getting a few threatening complaints ... hehe ... so I guess I'd better post some new info.
Ty is now working at Westmark as a teller. Its a pretty good job. It doesn't pay a whole lot but its enough and they offer really good benefits. He enjoys the people he works with and has some fun there so its not a half bad job. He still looks every day for something in his field and hopes this job may lead to something he really loves to do. He is taking the LSAT on Saturday, so we are just hanging in there and keeping all of our options open for the future.
Well Crystal turned 1 year old on Saturday! I know its hard to believe! It doesn't seem like its been that long but it has. She has 12 teeth now; four of them are molars!! That was a nightmare! It was much more work getting those molars in than the front teeth.
We had a party for her Saturday and it looked like Christmas she had so many presents to unwrap! She did very well tearing the paper but cousin Brennin thought she was too slow so he helped her open them. All the pictures are on Ty's camera so I'll have to wait to post pictures. I do have a video of Crystal eating her birthday cake. It's her SECOND piece!!!



Sunday the day after her birthday she took her first steps!!!! We don't have video of it yet because my card was full and I hadn't moved pictures to the computer yet. I'll post something as soon as I have it.
