So, here we are just waiting for our lives to start again. Just Waiting. Homeless. (Till we can move to Georgia) Sorta Jobless (because we don't start till July 6th) Kinda Poor (living off savings) AND we are at my parents house. This is the very longest I have been home since I left when I was 17-about a minute after I graduated. My mom visits us wherever we are and that's nice but its a whole different story being here with my whole family- during the summer-for two weeks. I know a whole ton of people who go back home to where they grew up for the entire summer and some of my friends live on the very same street as their parents.
We are not that family. We love each other. BUT........We are ALL VERY different. One of my sweet sisters is a witch. Seriously. A real life casting spells witch. My 19 brother is as innocent as a newborn deer. My 16 year old sister is a almost-professional anime cartoonist of which she devotes her entire life to. So, where do I fit in? Lets not forget my Feature Family Film loving parents. Soft voices are spoken here and the word crap is only used when something is life threatening. Again you ask-where is my place?
I am (as my brother lovingly found appropriate) Cruel la Devil. You know-the crazy black and white fur loving wealthy maniac in 101 Dalmatians. Yep, that's me. We all have our roles. I come into their tranquil (or as I put it-death silence) place of peace and want to get on Hotmail. What? You say! Nope not here, Dad comes downstairs to the basement of ice and puts in his password to temporally suspends 'Net Nanny' so I may get on my email and face book account. Too bad Dad isn't here till six o'clock everyday huh? I am lucky though because I even know what that is.
My family and I do great together watching a G rated movie. Such as now-they are upstairs on a Saturday night watching 'Beverly Hill Chihuahua' as my folks remind us that if we ever have that much money and treat our dogs like that they will disown us. I would disown myself first. We do great at church, when my children look like pictures in a magazine and Jaxon and I look the part of a doting newly married couple. Sorry Utah, As soon as we get in the car off comes the pantyhose (yes I am wearing them in June-I'm at my MOTHERS) and the tie and we rush home to stuff as much food in our bellies as possible and talk about the lady at church wearing an eye patch. We are going to hell. But, Jax and I will be be there as a family!
I hope this 'trip' goes well, we are only three days in after all. I hope I can shut my mouth when my brother goes to Blockbuster and comes home with 'The Work and the Glory' for us to have together time. I hope I can shut my mouth when my mom coddles the crap out of my children (coddling is different than spoiling and spoiling is totally fine for Grandmas) I hope I can shut my mouth when my dad starts talking about how Obama is going to destroy my children's future. I hope I can open my mouth when I can only give righteous topics with encouragement and peace.
This will be a very quiet two weeks for me indeed. I love my family and they love me. We will see what I post in two weeks!!!

SO...
HIYALL!
After an extremely busy last few weeks and one fabulous trip to Southern Company- Jaxon and I have decided to accept a teaching position for Southern Nuclear. There is a Nuclear energy plant located about an hour south of Augusta Georgia-where we will live. Currently there are two reactors at Plant Vogtle; brilliantly named~1 and 2 starting August first they will break ground on~again original titles~ 3 and 4. Well...they wont be producing power till 2016 but while they are being built that's a whole lot of Senior Reactor Operators that need to license and get ready to man the plant. That's where my lovey comes in-He will be one of the 12 teachers to get the plant going. I was very impressed by this company and everyone we met so naturally I wanted to buy a house.
YEA FOR ME! WE DID JUST THAT! WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!
I am very very excited!!! I'm pretty happy that after living in the Seattle market and seeing houses like this go for $600,000 and knowing that we didn't pay anywhere close to that, makes me giddy!!!! Its four bedroom, three full bath, two car deep garage, a quarter acre back yard, and BRAND SPANKING NEW!! We will close on the 17th of July and then we will start to finally get settled once and for all. LOOK OUT GEORGIA HERE COME THE NELSONS!!!I'm not showing pictures till I get the newest ones tomorrow so stay tuned...

bit of a update...
A bit of an update is correct being as we have no real news...yet! On Sunday both Jaxon and myself are flying down to Augusta Georgia to meet for a week with Southern Company and house hunt. We got an amazing offer and this is the job I really am hoping Jaxon likes once he is actually on-site.
It's funny that thirty days ago when he was job hunting I didn't like anything he was applying for or any WHERE those jobs were (hello-Colestrip Montana-no way) I was ticked off one night and said 'Fine I'll find you the job I want you to have' and I did. I picked this off of the Nuke Worker website and checked out the company and area and told Jaxon to send in his resume. He looked at me sorta funny and said 'Babe, I applied for that job a week ago!' A week after that some guy called and asked Jaxon for a minute or two of his time; little did Jaxon know that he was on a 6 way phone interview with the board of directors for Southern Company. He got an offer two days later. Without meeting Jaxon. Without a final interview. Nothing. They just said from the first minute they spoke to him they knew he was a perfect fit for the job. SO, off we go to stay in a five star hotel for a week of wine-and dining with the big wigs. I am excited to go even though we haven't made a final decision. Part of me feels like we have been getting a great feeling about Georgia from the beginning so that Heavenly Father has already made the decision. but...
Jaxon has another offer for Topaz Power in Corpus Christi Texas and he traveled down there last week and really liked the plant. I know we will be fine either place but I really like the south.
WOULDN'T MISS.ALLIE MAKE A FABULOUS SOUTHERN BELLE???
We are staying with Jaxon's family in Vancouver for a while then to my family in Utah and then we will make the trek to either Texas or Georgia by the last week of June. The start date of Southern Company's program that Jaxon would be a part of is July 5th, so that means we better haul it!! Good thing I already put a deposit on an apartment in Augusta huh? See I am ready to go. As soon as we get back next Saturday I will let you know which offer we accepted and then you will hear all about the different houses I want to buy!!! till then....
