I haven't blogged in FOREVER.  Well time to play catch up on the Moser's.  In Aug we moved from our condo in Utah to renting a 3 bedroom condo in Pinetop, AZ.  We moved here because I got a job working at Rainbow Treatment Center as a Marriage and Family Therapist.  The move was hard and LONG.  What should of taken a total of 3 days took a total of 8 days.  We were 2 hours out of our new home when my car broke down.  I was able to get it to a safe place but then we had to take a 3 hour drive at 12 at night to Flagstaff, AZ to get it fixed.  We are adjusting to Pinetop and how SMALL it is here.  I don't really have any friends here yet.  Well one but she has much on her plate and I am not sure how much time she has on her plate to hang out much.   Marci is an amazing women.  She does so well taking care of my little man.  She is so helpful to me and I am blessed to have her in our lives.  Dallin LOVES going to her house and each day I pick him up he asks me to "talk longer" so he can play longer. 


I love my new job.  It is an adjustment working on the reservation but it is enjoyable.  The be way to explain it is that it is "another world" or a "3rd world country" even though it is only 30 mins from my house.  I enjoy the conversations that I am having with the women I work with.  I seem to be fitting in well but I am sure they do not trust me as much as I think they do or that I do not fit in as well as I think I do in my head. 

Dallin started kindergarten this year and Mrs. Kuntson is his teacher.  He loves to learn, read, learn, and do homework.  I keep wondering when this will get old and he will start to hate school, hate to learn, and hate to do homework.  He has been growing once more.  His shoes from this summer would not fit his feet when it got to cold to wear sandals.  So for about a week he went to school with socks and sandals. I was very embarrassed but at least I learned to next time buy shoes before moving for the new school year. 

As for my new job.  Things are going well. I really like it.  It keeps me busy for the most part.  There is a lot of room to grow. I am allowed to grow in my own way and areas that I want to.  That I get to go to the training that I feel will best help me.  That I am able to do therapy my way and not someone else's or by a model that is not true to me.  I have a job where the growth that I want to make is very able for me.  I enjoy working with the couples and soon the families on the tribe as well. I am lucky and blessed to have this job.  It is a challenge and hard but it is very worth it.  I will have to add some photos to this blog of our life here in Pinetop, AZ.
