Here's our exciting news:
(a picture is worth a thousand words)


This is his early morning class


In case your wondering what in the world?
Devin is teaching seminary!!

. . . It's kind of a LONG STORY . . .
(here's the short version)

Devin has always talked about being a seminary teacher, even before we got married. He always thought at some point in life, he'd like to teach, but just wasn't sure when. So when life gave us a breath, he decided he'd just take the first class and see how it went. Now, it's hard to become a seminary teacher. Anyone can sign up for the first class, but from that point, they start making cuts until they end up hiring just a few people. So we thought it would take some time before we even knew if he would make all the cuts, but if it didn't work out, we figured it wasn't meant to be and could cross that off the bucketlist.

Well, Devin got done with the first class (Jan-April) and hadn't even taken the final yet and they said they wanted to have him teach a few classes over at Maple Mountain High School (right up the road from us) ON MONDAY!! So right now he teaches A Day: 7:55-9:20, B Day: 6:20-7:40, 7:55-9:20. It's perfect because he gets up early, teaches, then has the rest of the day to work. (FYI: I am skipping soo many details and the whole spiritual experience part of it all..) But bottom line: I think I might be married to a seminary teacher!! Somewhere in me, I always knew he'd be one, it was just a matter of timing!
I am so proud of him!!
We feel so blessed!
