It's been awhile since I've blogged. Almost three years apparently... oh well, I've never been consistent with blogging, and I don't think anybody cares too much, so I'll just take a few minutes to share some of what's been going on in the Berndt household lately!
Over the last three years, well, a lot has obviously happened. Mya will be turning 6 next month and starting 1st grade in August. Max will be turning 3 next month and starting preschool in August. And Zane--well, he's been part of our family for over a year now! He was our blessed little surprise. The pregnancy was rough (especially being coupled with Alex being unemployed for 9 months), but things have all turned out well, and we're so thankful to have our little guy with us!
After Alex being out of work for those 9 months, he landed a wonderful job with Mrs. Field's Cookies. For the past year, he has been their Training Coordinator and has loved it! Near the end of last year, he and I decided that it was time for him to pursue an MBA. After months of studying for the entrance exam, I'm super excited to say that he's been accepted to ASU starting this fall! Not only is ASU's MBA program one of the best in the western US, but it is also in Arizona. We've lived in Utah for 9 out of our 10 years of marriage, and yet somehow, Arizona still feels like home. We're sad about many aspects of leaving Utah (okay, not many, but a few really big ones--like living with Grandma Nola, and all of our family that is nearby). But we are very excited for this upcoming adventure!! We're planning to move down to the valley sometime in July. As of right now, we have no job and no home. But I know that things will work out somehow!
Right before our big move, Alex and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary by going on a CRUISE to Alaska!! Obviously, we're way excited about that too!! I've never been on a cruise, and neither of us have been to Alaska. It will be an incredible trip!
We have so much to be grateful for, and so much to look forward to. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, as I anxiously look at houses for rent, try to pack everything we're not using, and get ready for our cruise :). Life is good!
