We Got an ANSWER!!

Mark was told yesterday that he got the job at the City of Mesa. We are soooo excited! He's not sure when he will officially start in this new position but he does have the JOB. He has worked so hard and is really excited that he got his "dream" job.

Tessa's Blessing

On Sunday, Mark blessed Tessa at church. It was a very special experience. Mark was very nervous but he did a wonderful job. Lost of family and friends were able to attend. We had 9 members of our family stand with Mark as he blessed Tessa. They barely fit on the stand but they made it work. She was a very tried girl when we got home. She didn't sleep through Sacrament meeting like she usually does because everyone wanted to hold her.

Two Months and Growing

Well, it has been two months since Tessa was born. Where does the time go!! She is growing so fast. Tessa is starting to smile more and she makes the cutest sounds. She makes us laugh everyday.

Mark and I are doing well. I have about 3 weeks before I go back to work. I have mixed feeling about going back. I want to see my students but I worry about leaving her. Luckily, Tessa will either be with my mom, my aunt, or a friend from church. Mark is waiting (as patiently as possible) to interview with the City of Mesa (hopefully Tuesday). We pray ever night that he gets the jobs.

We are just going day to day and enjoying most every minute. We are looking forward to Sunday because Mark will bless Tessa. We have invited family and close friends. It will be a special day! You only get to bless your first baby once and we can't wait.

Well, to everyone we love you and hope that you are doing okay. Talk to you soon!
