We're Coming Home!!

Although I absolutely loath packing, and hate the fact that all my stuff is just EVERYWHERE, I am SO excited to be moving back to Logan. I never thought in a million years we would make our way back to Logan, just because it seems almost impossible to find a good job there. For the past few months we have been hoping, and praying that Steven could transfer, or find another job that would move us closer to our families. We have loved being in St. George, but is has been hard being so far away from friends, and family.

About a week ago, Stevens assistant branch manager decided she was going to do all she could to help Steven transfer up near the Wasatch Front area. After only a few phone calls, she heard that the new Chase bank in Logan, needed an extra person! YAY! We were so excited to hear the news. It feels so weird to think we are going back to Logan. I think we both feel like we have just been on a really long vacation, and just waiting to go home, and get back into the groove of things! I can't even tell you how much I miss MY stuff. I miss my furniture, our bed, Andrews rocking chair, and just being home. I am so happy that this job opportunity turned up for Steven, and feel like the Lord really had a hand in it. There were so many times when I felt so depressed, and homesick, and felt like our prayers were never being answered. As hard as this move has been for me, I have really learned patience. I've learned that some things don't work out for a reason, and instead of letting it affect you negatively, you just need to realize that the Lord has something even better for you in store, but you have to be patient, and trust that things are going to work out the way they should.

We found out about this move about a week ago, and we are going to be heading home the end of October, just in time to celebrate Halloween in chilly LOGAN! We can't wait!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Andrew!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday (oct 7th) to my sweet boy, Andrew! I can't believe that one year ago, I woke up to my water breaking, rushed to the hospital, was in labor for 14 hours, and finally had the baby I had longed for, for 9 long months. Andrew has been such a blessing in our lives, and we cannot imagine life without him.

Andrews favorite thing is Mickey Mouse! So his 1st birthday is going to be themed Mickey! More pictures to come soon...!












He had a blast with those balloons!!
