*Just For You*

“This is my prayer for all of us—'Lord, increase our faith.' Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. . . . Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. . . . Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequence follow.” -Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

*New Changes*

As I have said in a few posts before we have some new changes happening. I think its time to make it BLOG official.

Change #1: Tim got a new job! Yes..again. He was working for his dad Larry and loving it. But then business just seemed to die and things started really s.l.o.w.i.n.g down. Gotta love the economy. Tim was getting jobs but they just weren’t paying. It was really super frustrating. So his dad told him he should probably start looking for something new. Well that was way back in August. Tim had been job searching for the past three months and we were starting to get super desperate. I seriously think he applied at about 50 different jobs. We were calling old employers to see if anyone had anything that he could do. But nothing was working out. FINALLY he got called to come in for an interview at the American Fork Sprint store doing retail sales. Of course he nailed the interview {I knew he would..just as long as someone could hear him talk they would hire him…yeah he’s that good} and got the job. It’s a salary + commission based job that will be perfect while he is going to school.

Change #2: We are selling our house. *CRY* I seriously was heartbroken when Tim and I came to the decision to sell. We love our house. I mean really LOVE it. There are so many things here that are just perfect for us. But it was either Tim never finishes school and I keep working, or we sell the house. So even though it was a hard choice it was for the best. I am excited to see where we will end up in the next few months. Of course because we bought our house right before the housing market really tanked, we have to do a short sale. Its craziness. We have two offers in right now. One is $90,000 less than we paid and the other is $85,000 less. SICKENING! But whatever. We are just waiting to see if the bank will approve an offer so we can get into something more affordable for starving college students with a kid.

{CHRISTMAS TIME!!! TJ is fascinated with the train. He is so good not to touch it. How did I end up with such an obedient child?!} 

Change #3: A NEW BABY. Don’t get your hopes up….not yet. haha. I just really want it to happen! I was told by one of my GYNs that it might be difficult for me to get pregnant due to some weirdness with my baby maker. But I got pregnant with TJ 4 months after Tim and I got married…so I know it can happen haha. We are just super excited for a new addition to the fam. Whenever that may be!

  2. I feel your pain with the house situation! We had to do a short sale on our house back in July, and it was the same thing. It sold for about 40,000 less that what we bought it for! It's gross!! Dang economy. Good luck with everything!
