Adjusting


It's taken some time to adjust to living with Traci's parents, we still haven't quite fully figured out where to put our things, but it is slowly coming together. We do enjoy being close to Traci's family, they are a blessing and are a great help to us.
We have been adjusting to living in Prescott Valley well. Being a smaller town we have navigated it rather easy, found entertainment like bowling, movies, and putt putt. Traci connected with old friends and we've been able to get together on occasion. We have been attending a new church named The Heights in the next town over, and enjoy the good energy there.
As some of you may know Pino's Blazer went down with a bad transmission about three or four months ago. After relocating here, we found help in our neighbor who is skilled in vehicle repair and Pino and him removed and replace the transm
ission. It still is getting broken in but it is very nice for Pino to have a vehicle to drive, especially with him being home with Penelope.
Our wonderful daughter Penelope is doing great! She has found her hands and is learning to connect what she feels to what she sees. She is "talking" a lot (making noises) and started to giggle as well. We are so proud of her, it's so little but so big at the same time. We haven't found a new pediatrician yet as we just got signed up for benefits on the 1st of March. When we do find one she is due for a check up in her fourth month, and we will have weight and length and give an update.
Traci is doing well in training with Chase Ban
k, they really set up their employees to succeed. She should be taking her "series 6" test next week. Once that is behind her she then will study for her "series 63" and together with her Life Insurance License she will then be ready to work with customers. A long process but again Chase wants their employees to be successful.
Even though we'd prefer Pino staying home with Penelope, it may not be what we can afford at this time, so he has stared to look for jobs. We have talked and believe Pino should find a "fun" part time job. He'd like to work at the local golf course, movie theater, sports arena/ice rink, something that he will enjoy and get fun perks. Working part time would help so he could take care of Penelope during the day and work in the evenings, that way he could provide and not take away from the family. Next week he has an interview with Trailmaster Suspension for a full time position. Pino used to sell their product with his last employer, and with a referral from his last supervisor and product knowledge he has a foot in the door. We still will have to weight that option after the interview, as full time could take away from our family and that is the most important thing right now. Either way he'll find a job and God will bless us.
