Early this month Matthew had a week of vacation. We took advantage of it to visit the job offers Matthew had. We headed to Malta, MT first. We spent two days there, and stayed with the vet and his family. They are seriously amazing people. We sure do love them and are thankful for all they have done for us. While we were there the first night Chloe got sick, and was throwing up. The rest of the day she slept lots, and felt great the next day. We were also able to meet with a program that works with children with delays or disabilities in the county. After speaking with them we met at the elementary to meet the preschool teacher, principal and speech teacher. Everyone was so nice, and willing to work with Ian.
Next we headed to Billings, MT to stay the night with Matthew's brother Michael for the night. They are in Billings while Michael goes to PA school. It was so fun to catch up with them. That night Ian was up throwing up. Poor boy couldn't understand why the heck we had to hold a bowl in front of him to throw up in. He was such a trooper the whole night. Thanks Michael and Emily for letting us stay the night with you. It was a blast.
We got up early the next morning and headed to Buffalo, WY. While we were there we met with the Children Resource Center and the team there. Then we stopped by the vet clinic to say hi to Dr. Walters, then headed to out to a lady who works with children with Autism. Dr. Walters put us up in the Hampton that night, which was so nice. Matthew dropped the kids and I off at the hotel for a while, while he went with Dr. Walters for awhile. When he got back we headed to their house for dinner. That night I was a little worried about having both kids in the hotel and getting them to sleep. When we got back from dinner I put Chloe to sleep, then took Ian swimming for awhile. This wore him out, and he slept like a rock. the next morning Matthew went to the vet about the job offer, and went to the clinic to work with the other vet there. After that we headed over the mountain to my parents house.
We stay the night at my parents house for the night. Matthew headed to Powell that afternoon to talk with the vet there. My little brother watched the kids for us while we all went out to dinner for Valentines day. My grandma was even there for the event. The next morning we woke up, ate breakfast and headed to Matthew's parents. Everyone was there to hang out with us. That night all Matthew's grandparents, aunt Sherie and uncle Dave and all his brothers came for dinner. It was great to see everyone in such a quick trip.
I am so glad that we were able to go and visit each job, and all the resources for Ian in each town. We have finally decided that we are going to POWELL, WY for a job. We are super excited to be able to move back home. We even found out that we can get the Applied Behavior Analysis therapy there for Ian as well. It feel so good finally know, and we feel great about out decision. Can't wait to start out new chapter.
