Anyway, yes, surprise! We are back in Utah- staying in Daybreak for 6 months then will find another more fitting spot for us. But right now this spot serves great because Mark's work (church building off of Bangerter) is within 10 min. We were also able to find a spacious 3 room apartment which was hard to find. Everything may have been last minute, but has fallen perfectly into place. This has been an answered prayer for Mark (and I). Everything he has desired in a job, has or is becoming manifest. We are truly humbled and truly grateful.
Arizona will be greatly missed, as is Illinois. We have had such amazing experiences in the short times we have been located in these places. Illinois with the people and how they opened their hearts and welcomed us into their homes. They were so kind hearted and willing to help out in any way. (Which was so very much appreciated since I had Kaysia out there) Those experiences helped us remember who we wanted to be as a family in the ward/ world. In Arizona we had the opportunity to give back and that we did, making closer friendships then would have been possible. Our Christmas was spent with a family who had also just moved out there away from their family members. Anyway, its just amazing at all the cherished memories we are able to create- we just have to remember to keep our eyes/ hearts open. Along with all these memories have come some intense learning and building faith experiences. For me personally, it definitely has not been easy and I continue to have my share of building up my faith and trust. Hence I am so grateful to have such a dedicated and patient husband who supports me personally no matter how I'm reacting :)
What of other news.... My baby girls are sick... and have been sick back and forth for the last 3 weeks but now both have it. So hopefully now that we're settled I can tackle it once and for all!!! My poor babies!!! Otherwise just tackling the unpacking and organizing stuff. And as it now just seems to be as with every major move- what comes hand in hand with it?!?! Well, yes, surprise again- Coming this Summer of 2011.... ;)
oh my goodness, I almost didn't catch the pregnant line at the very end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy! Congratulations, are you excited? Sick? Happy? Scared? Nervous?!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like I just missed you :( I was in Utah on the 15th and went to Sephra's bridal shower. When did you get in?
Oh my gosh, you've been holding out on me!! Do you know what you're having? Congrats, now we really! need to get together. I have to see your pregnant belly and then when you have the baby I can smell the top of their head!
ReplyDeleteWow you're brave! Congratulations!!! I'm glad you're back in Utah by family again. It'll be so fun for your girls to be by their cousins. If you need anything let me know! We live in South Jordan right next to you.
