We're moving!!

I am so excited!! I got a position as a part time nanny in Bountiful for an amazing family!! They are so cute and i fell in love with the kids the first time i met them! I only have to watch the kids for up to 16 hours a week and in return they are giving us FREE rent in their basement apartment! (which is a HUGE upgrade from the one we are living in now! It is so so so nice and BIG!).
It all started Friday when i got an email from care.com (a nanny business i signed up for about a year ago). They said that there was a family in bountiful that was looking for a part time nanny that could come and live in their basement for free in exchange for the services we offered them. I emailed her right away saying that i was interested. I then looked on ksl.com for apartments in Bountiful and there was another posting for the same family so i called! She loved me right off. She said she wanted a returned missionary and someone who spoke spanish since her mother speaks spanish and so does the cleaning ladies that come once a week. We set up a time the next day so that Mike and i could meet them.
It was for Saturday (the next day). They again loved us and they loved Mike. When Mike told them he served a mission in Japan they started talking about sushi for a little while. Everything was perfect and they told us that they want us! They had a couple of other interviews that night but she said she was just going to call and cancel since we were the ones.
Both Mike and i are really excited because this way we can start saving money for a house! It really is a great opportunity that i feel so blessed to have recieved.
We move the 28th of March (our anniversary) and i start looking after her kids in April.
Another great thing is that Mike and i will only be about 10 minutes from work versus the 35-40 minutes that we are driving now (to AND from work).
Anyway this is just a HUGE blessing! We were wondering what we were going to do when we both had to start our programs for school and we could only work part time, there was no way we could afford it unless we took out student loans (which we don't want to do). BUT now we know and this will work out GREAT for both us and this family!
