In the last month I've done a whole bunch of things I never thought I'd do or even thought I could do:
Flew across the country with a layover with two small children and an enormous pregnant belly all by myself.
Moved back into the mobile home park that John and I started out in 6 1/2 years ago.
Got the flu right on the day John and Jack pulled in with the u haul and spent most of the next 3 days in the bathroom throwing up.
Got to watch all four of my brothers unload our entire u haul in 30 minutes and then stay another hour to set up all our beds and unpack boxes.
It's been a real adventure and it's only going to get crazier the closer I come to having this baby but I'm grateful to be surrounded by family again and I'm grateful to be able to follow Gods plan for me even if I don't fully understand it.

So proud of you guys! That is the hardest thing ever, but feels good to follow your gut feeling.
Like I have told you before, you and John remind me SOOO much of my husband and I 6 years ago doing the same thing! Living out of boxes, in hotels, odd apartments, moving every 6 months chasing after the big promotion. After living in Maui for 9 months, we finally decided it was time to stop chasing the dream, and like you, go back home to utah and pray for a job. These are the best times of your life, when you just turn your life over and have the most faith you have ever had! And you know, He does come through. It will amaze you the blessings that will come your way. Just remember these times, they are the humblest, hardest most amazing times you can go through. But I promise, they will make you so much stronger and a better person.
So sorry I don't mean to go off telling you all this, you guys make me smile. I hope all goes well for you. Just happy to hear others follow their hearts too, even though it does seem crazy at the time. All will be well.
Thank you so much Brooke. It's good to hear that this happens to other people and that it all works out. Sometimes it feels like everything is so much easier for everyone else you know? It's hard to imagine how it's going to work out but I know it will.
You guys are awesome. I am selfishly loving you guys are here. I wish we could be at grandmas on Monday but we'll be making the trip down there Tuesday instead. Something I've had planned for a while. Can't really afford 2 days of gas trips down there or else we'd totally be there. Don't even know if you'll be there but if you will we'll miss you. Hopefully we'll see you next month!
