For those of you who don't really know what has been going on the past few months - here are the main points.
- Jason graduated in December
- He applied to medical school but did not get in
- He has decided to not reapply
- He has been looking for a job since December (huge family trial)
- He got a job and started last Monday (huge family blessing)
- I had my graduation exit interview on Thursday and as soon as I finish my independent study math class I am graduated!
- I am still working from home (HUGE family blessing)
- I was released from my RS calling (second counselor in the RS presidency)
- Brock loved having BOTH his parents home ALL day for 4 months
- Brock is having a hard time adjusting to just mom being at home and not getting whatever he needs/wants whenever he needs/wants it.
- Brock turned 1 last week
- We have been incredibly blessed by the Lord these last few months - and strongly feel like we are doing what we should be doing (despite it wasn't what we THOUGHT we should be doing)
- We are here in Provo for a few more months (arg), hopefully until we save enough for a down payment on a house (maybe August?!?)
I know many of these points deserve much more detail/feelings/pictures, many of them I will do posts on later. I just wanted to get all that info out there.

Hi Jamie and Jason,
I'm just working late tonight and it's gotten kind of slow and I saw the link to your blog. I'm so glad that things are going well for you both. You are wonderful examples and deserve the best! I hope we see you guys before you move from Provo. We're moving back to Provo this month!
Stay in touch,
Kevin (and Emily) Bailey
WOW! I am soooo happy for you guys - SO MANY BLESSINGS! :):) I'm so glad you posted all of this stuff, because this morning I woke up (this is really random) and I thought "I should call Jamie and just see how she's doing." And you must've read my mind, because then you posted all of these wonderful updates! :) I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH! (and Brock, too, of course :) Which reminds me....HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO BROCK! Ok, I need you to know that I work in the temple Tuesday afternoons-and-evenings, and I went straight from work to the temple that day, but while I was in the temple, I called Matt to ask him to call you to wish Brock a happy birthday....but he got SO stressed/busy at work that he didn't have a sec to call....so, we're sorry we didn't call :(:( But! we WERE thinking of Brock that WHOLE day (and the whole week prior, so we wouldn't forget to call him on his birthday! :P) wow, this is a long comment! well, we love and miss you guys! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN on ALLL your many blessings!
Sorry about medical school. so hard. Just to let you know I will not allow my children to go to medical school --tough road in life. good luck with the new job and maybe buying a house. Fun things in your future.
Congrats on Jason finding a new job! What kind of job do you have that you get to do from home? :-)
