Good news!

"So what's the good news?"..... that is what you will often over hear when I call Brandon during the day. It has been an ongoing attempt and desire for us to look for the good that is all around us instead of focusing on our problems all the time. Its easier said than done but it has really helped us cope with the ups and downs of life. So... what IS the good news...well...

1) Brandon has a new job! He has been there a little over a month now and is very happy. He works for FBS which is a property management company. Brandon was hired as a Property Supervisor. He oversees the management of over 160 proprieties and will be getting about 100 more in January. He does everything from renewing leases and contracts, to showing properties, doing move in/ out inspections, meetings with owners about what improvements they need to make to their homes to get the rent they desire, making sure maintenance issues are resolved after being requested and more. He also has a few commercial properties as well. He was given an administrative assistant which is a huge help and quite a perk. I have to admit it is very nice to be on salary again with quarterly commissions. Its been probably over 3 years since he has had a salary position and believe me its a breath of fresh air. Most importantly I am so glad that he enjoys his work! Since he has a Utah real estate license he will have to retest here in California. He has 90 days to get it done and I am confident he will pass the exam.

2) Tammy is pregnant with baby #4. She is due July 15th. We are all very excited for her and her family. We hope she has a healthy pregnancy, a speedy delivery, and a sweet perfect bundle of joy very soon!

3) Sean's show- the Regular Show- was picked up for another season which includes 40 more episodes. So he will be at Cartoon Network for some time and he is thrilled.

4) David passed the Bar exam and will be sworn in as a lawyer tomorrow. He has worked extremely hard despite Carla's cancer and we are so very proud of him.

There has been a lot of good lately but I thought I would just highlight all the recent BIG news. We feel very fortunate and grateful for all the blessings we have been receiving. I don't think I can thank Heavenly Father enough especially for Brandon's job we really needed it!
