Why we are in Texas

I guess I wasn't really clear on why we are here in Texas or how long we will be here.  Because of the economy most of our investments are tied-up in real estate which means our source of income has been considerably diminished.  Unfortunately the economy also made the need for a full time admissions person at George Wythe unnecessary, so we re-entered the job world.  

We were hoping to find something in the So. Utah area so we wouldn't have to move, but there wasn't anything readily available.  As we prayerfully considered our options we decided that we would look into traveling Physical Therapy jobs.  These are usually short term positions 3-6 months that fill a gap when companies have immediate/temporary needs (generally when someone is out on maternity or medical leave).  The pay is comparable to what we would receive for a full time job, however they pay for housing, utilities and some other living expenses.  This allows us to pay our mortgage and expenses in Enoch, yet still have enough to live on here.  

I think of it as an extended vacation, except of course Rusty has to work :) This way we can see all of the sights and experience the area without the pressure of fitting it all into a week, and without paying for our housing. Besides it gives us time to try and figure out what/where the Lord wants us to go. 

Anyway our first assignment is here in Texas for 13 weeks.  Rusty's last day here is July 2nd.  We don't have anything else scheduled as of now.  We will probably come home for at least a little while so Lauren can get her braces off and Dallin can get baptized, besides seeing everyone we miss and love! If the job market is still bleak then we will look into other traveling jobs.  It's been an interesting experience because Rusty could get a permanent position in a number of places.  He has had offers, but we haven't felt that it was the right thing or the right time yet.  So for the time being, we are just being.
