FINALLY

I have been without our computer and internet for almost three months, and boy has a lot happened!! We moved to Utah the end of June, even though Aaron did not have a job. His license to work in Washington expired the end of June, and we would have had to pay $300 to renew it, so we prayed and decided that we needed to move, even though Aaron did not have a job.

We had been looking for a Job in Utah since February, Aaron had 7 phone interviews, but nothing panned out. We moved into my brother and sister-in-laws basement the end of June. Aaron continued to have interviews, but nothing. It was really hard getting our hopes up, thinking that this was going to be the job, and then nothing. We had money in savings that we were hoping to use to get moved into our new apartment, but we ended up using almost all of it on bills, since Aaron did not have a job.

We had to be out of Brandon's basement by Aug. 14th, cause Amanda's sister was coming to visit for two weeks. On Aug. 6th, we found out that Aaron had been offered a job, with Wasatch Mental Health. After 11 interviews, and a lot of fasting and praying we were blessed. I am so grateful for Aaron's persistence. It was really hard on him constantly being told no, but he kept his faith. We went apartment shopping, that next week, and found an apartment in Orem. We used our last penny to move into the apartment. We have been truly blessed. These past couple of months have been really trying, but the Lord had truly blessed. AND after 1.5 years, WE ARE FINALLY LIVING IN OUR OWN APARTMENT. The elders quorum helped us move in, and it turns out we are in a Branch. In the middle of Utah. Last Friday Aaron and I were asked to talk, that coming Sunday. I am guessing we will have a lot of opportunities to speak, since there are about 45 people in the Branch. Even though it is small we LOVE our Branch.

Is Potty Trained

I tried to potty train Jack at Aaron's parents house, and at Brandon and Amanda's house, but he refused, and what a pain it was. We moved into our apartment, and that day he wanted to go Potty like a big boy. He has not had an accident in 4 days, and last night he did not wear a diaper to bed, and was dry when he woke up.

Big Smiles

During "Nap Time" Jack throws all of his toys into West's Crib.

We went to the zoo and Jack carried the map, he sat down a couple of times in the middle of walk-way to show us where we were supposed to go.

Ill post more pictures later.
