It sounds like Heavenly Father is really watching out for you and blessing you in your time of need. What an amazing wife and mommy you are! And on top of it all you recognized the promptings and followed through. I don't know that I would have done that. We love you guys and hope that the move goes well. :) Hugs!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03842799544411245022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899894682659638642.post-24905645768162625842009-04-05T01:07:00.000-06:002009-04-05T01:07:00.000-06:00I am blown away by everything, but obviously you w...I am blown away by everything, but obviously you were being led in the right direction for a reason. <BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for good guidance . . . and good family.<BR/><BR/>I hope everything goes well in UT.

Initially, I felt shock and concern. In the course of their conversation, though, I realized that you (meaning you and HH) were prepared for it and already had a plan. And, my concern diminished. You are definitely making lemonade out of lemons! We'll all experience adversity at one time or another; the important thing is how we deal with it. <BR/><BR/>I am super excited to have you four that much closer! Does HH want to look for jobs in the Bay? :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633492873119438993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899894682659638642.post-25710353876759803942009-03-23T12:37:00.000-06:002009-03-23T12:37:00.000-06:00Oh my gosh, I'm having an emotional seizure! it's...Oh my gosh, I'm having an emotional seizure! it's this strange mix of shock/"how could that happen?!"/"the insanity of it all" and excited/freaked out/totally stoked to be close to you feelings. <BR/><BR/>AHHHHHHH!!!!!

It helps so much when we can look and find those tender mercies.<BR/><BR/>I know the Lord has helped prepare our family for what we're going through right now. It's not what I would choose for myself, but He knows what we need and what we can handle. I've been so grateful for the wonderful blessings we have been given lately. The simple little things that I used to take for granted.<BR/><BR/>You're in our prayers.Markellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12229422894699300604noreply@blogger.com
