One thing that this summer has taught us is that Heavenly Father really does watch out for us. We spent many months trying to move forward only having a step or two in front of us illuminated. But, as we worked to figure out what Heavenly Father had planned for us and move forward with faith, everything seemed to work out just fine. Here are just a few of the blessings we have had this summer.
- we were able to sell our condo in a poor real estate market
- friends and family that have been so good to us and have taken care of us
- being able to find suitable places to live (twice)
- being released from our lease agreement in California after only 1 month.
- continued paychecks and insurance coverage (the wonders of working for a school district) while we "moved" for 2 months
- safe travel for all 6000+ miles of our travel this summer
- a good job that Joe is more excited about than the one in California

Yea! I am so excited things are working out for you.
Another biggy...you took the time in your busy summer to call an old friend, who appreciated it so so much!
Wow, and updated blog! :) Glad you are settled...for now! Congrats on the little boy to come!
This is fantastic news! Though I am sad I won't see you as often when we come visit Utah I am thrilled that Joe has a job he feels good about. It makes all the difference! Way to go you guys!
