And we will be moving to....................

So my throat has been hurting a lot the past few days. Especially the left side. And I've had a fever off and on. I took a few hours off of work today to make sure I didn't have strep or some other nasty infection and found out...... nothing. At least they took the throat culture, but I don't have the results yet. I am going to assume I don't have strep because I can still swallow without feeling like I am swallowing razor blades and my uvula isn't touching the back of my tongue and I'm not lying on the bathroom floor in Hawaii trying to cool off from a raging fever. Not that I know any Nate's that have experienced that......
Speaking of Nate, here is a picture of a Unicorn:















I would like to refer you to specific verses in the Bible that talk about Unicorns:

• Numbers 23:22    “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.”

• Numbers 24:8     “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.”

• Job 39:9   “Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?”

• Job 39:10    “Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?”

• Psalms 29:6     “He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.”

• Psalms 92:10    “But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.”

• Deuteronomy 33:17    “His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

• Psalms 22:21    “Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.”

• Isaiah 34:7     “And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.”

Note that this is the King James version, many of the modern translations do not mention Unicorns. I totally ripped this off another website.

Oh yes, I almost forgot- the reason that you clicked on this blog link was to find out WHERE we were going- well, Utah people, rejoice (or run screaming, depending on how you feel about us)- we will be moving to Salt Lake City in August. Nate and I have both accepted positions with the Granite School District. I will be a Speech Pathologist with the Preschool program (not sure of my assignment yet, that may depend where we end up moving), and Nate will be teaching Spanish and English at Cyprus High in Magna. The Granite School District has really funny boundaries- it stretches all the way from the East side of the Valley over by Holladay and South Salt Lake, and goes approximately 40 blocks north to south, and about 20 miles east to Magna on the east side of the Valley. So we will be down at the end of June to find a place to live, and then pack up and move mid-August. It is a huge relief to know where we will be in a few months and Nate has a job! He is so excited. He was a little worried that he would be at a disadvantage because he had to interview over the phone, but I guess they really liked him. So, any of you people from the area, please give us any recommendations you have for.... anything. Neighborhoods that are awesome (remember that we both work in education so we are not rich.....) neighborhoods that are stabby and should be avoided or neighborhoods where people are insane and try to outdo each other, things to do, places to go out to eat, things that grow well in a garden there, realtors and mortgage companies (eventually), whatever. It's been a long time since we've been to Salt Lake, and I am sure it is a whole lot different than what I remember. We now know where we will be going on summer vacation every single year........ massively long trips back to Oregon...
This certainly isn't what we were expecting a few months ago, but we are excited to start a new adventure!
