Changes

Oh how life changes.  After much prayer and pondering our lives are in for a change.  I have decided that although I love and will miss Camp Hippo, I am going to take a new job.  I will be working with adults again, mostly older adults, in a post acute rehab center in Idaho Falls.  It was a difficult decision to leave my wonderful coworkers and the kids that I have come to love so much.  However this change is something that we feel will be a good change for me and us as a couple. I will be working day shifts with rotating days off.

I am excited for the new adventure but at the same time I am very nervous.  I know that good things are coming for us though no matter what happens.

Other changes in our lives include the impending arrival of baby goats.  Daisy is due any time now, in fact she is overdue.  Cocoa isn't due until the end of the month but once the first set of babies come and we get back to milking the month is going to fly by and the babies will be here before we know it!  We bought a buck of our own this fall.  His name is Romeo.  He has gorgeous coloring and our Daisy is so pretty, we are hoping for beautiful babies from them!  I have no idea what to expect from Cocoas babies but am anxious to find out what they will look like as well.

We are planning on expanding our horizons in relation to our goats.  I have been doing lots of research on goat milk products like soap, lotion, body butter, lip balm, sugar scrub...the list is long and very exciting.  We are also working on getting our milk certified so that we can sell milk and food products made from the milk. Even though we aren't certified I am planning on trying new cheese for family use.  I'm really wanting to make Mozzarella which I think I will be ordering the necessary ingredients for that just as soon as we have enough milk.

Well, I will post more and I get settled into my job and I will definitely post baby pictures once they arrive.
