We made it!

You can all sigh a huge sigh of relief yes we have a job and yes we have a house :) Things where a bit iffy for a while but we took a huge step into the dark and the Lord blessed us for doing what we KNEW He wanted us to do. (Now if we only knew why He wanted us to do it.)

We left Payson on Thursday July 31 and started the dreaded three day drive to Indiana. Luckily for us we discovered it was not bad at all the kids where champs! We had absolutely no breakdowns, melt downs, or tears we did have a very messy car however. Thanks a million to Mom and Dad who drove in the big truck so that we could all be together in the van. We will forever be in their debt.

Jeff and I loved seeing all the different states it amazed us that Nebraska took us one whole day and everywhere you looked there was either corn, or soy bean fields for miles some people would call this boring or ugly we however loved the drive and now say bring on the summer drives back to Utah.

We arrived safely at Chris and Julianna's house late Saturday night and stayed there until Tuesday morning making it possible for our apt. to be cleaned and painted. Thanks for opening your house to us guys we really appreciated it.

The next few days where a bit crazy. Jeff had an interview Monday morning but because all of our stuff was still in the truck he had to borrow Chris's suit (thank you yet again) and I spent most of the day changing our address and taking care of the kids.

Tuesday morning Jeff, Chris, Mom, Dad and some wonderful ward members moved us in. I missed the whole thing. I would love to tell the whole story but it would take to much writing so lets just say Julianna and I tried to be awesome and change it with out the men but it was raining and there was lightning (both of which are much more severe here) and Julianna is just way to strong for her own good. Chris to the rescue again came back and fixed it for me while Jeff stayed here to finish up.

Wed. was a long day of unpacking and we still had not heard anything about a job for Jeff until that evening when they called him back for an interview on Thurs. morning. Gratefully we said yes and he went to the interviews on Thus. Only to find they could not officially hire him until the following Tues. because the posting had to be up until then. Although they gave him all of the info. a new hire would receive and asked him to come to a meeting Monday. Once again we gratefully accepted and immediately said a prayer of thanks when he got home.

Like I said before we knew this was where we were supposed to be and it was a huge step in the dark but we felt the Saviors hand in it every step of the way. Thank you to all of you for your prayers and support we have even found since we moved here that people who did not even know us where praying for us and we can not even begin to tell you thank you enough for your love and support.
