I should probably blog more cause Gracie is a sponge and is growing faster than you can imagine. She recently turned 15 months and the doctor was still blown away at how fast she is developing. Gracie sat by herself at four months, crawled at five months, and started walking at nine months. She currently says aunt Mia's name, quacks like a duck, sings ashes ashes (ring around the Rosie's), points and yells "that that" for something she needs, and she can now climb up on just about anything so we are currently transitioning into a toddler bed for safety. She is still a tiny monkey and wears 6-12 or 9-12 month clothes. Which is great for me because things fit her for forever. She has this almost white blonde hair and this natural tan skin that everyone always comments on. She is the sweetest little girl we know and is always willing to give kisses. The first thing she does when she sees a baby or kid is she runs up to them hugs and gives a kiss. Most kids are scared by it but really it's adorable.
We also have lots of big things coming up in our family! My brother leaves on his mission to Thailand Wednesday! I lived in Thailand for about six months just before we got married so chase and I are planning to go back when he is ready to come home. We are beyond excited! We also are so excited because chase has accepted his formal offer to work at the largest accounting firm in utah! We thought the recruiting process would be more grueling but chase didn't even need an interview. They met him at three events and told him they wanted him immediately. His 4.0 and handsomeness I'm sure had a lot to do with it. ;) the firm is located in downtown salt lake and so we will be looking for a home in Davis county after graduation.
I must say we are busy as can be but our lives are moving in the direction we've always wanted. We feel so blessed to have received this job offer right where we want to live by grandparents and family. Stayed tuned for more surprises in the next few weeks!
