Moved Out

So the past month has been extremely hard for us. We have had one set back after another it seems, but we are moving forward! With much thought and much saddness we decided we needed to rent our house out. Let me just say that renting out your "home" is very hard to do. We had some very interesting and scary people call and look at our house! I was being picky though, not just anyone was going to be aloud in our home. With much prayer and fasting we found a wonderful family to move in for awhile. Unforunatley for them their home caught on fire and is going to completely be gutted. They are a cute little LDS family and have a 4 yr. old son and one on the way. Our Bishopric hooked us up and it was meant to be! We had people who wanted the house and were ready to sign the lease and then all the sudden they would back out. Heavenly Father sure answers our prayers in interesting ways sometimes! We are so sad for them, but feel so fortunate that we could rent our home to them! They will be there anywhere from 3-6 months and then we will probably rent it out again. So that means we are back with my parnets for awhile. We feel so blessed that we were able to move back in with them! I will admit, it is not easy though! I have had many break downs and I really miss our space and freedom! Poor Landon is a little confused and his tantrums have kicked into high gear for us! NOT FUN!!! He misses home and knows something is going on, but it's what we have to do to survive and make it through these rough times!
Chris has been substitute teaching and driving for Service Rock lately. We are grateful he has had something to do! It's not all his favorite and we wish it was more money, but it helps! He is training at night right now to drive bottom dumps( Bigger tucks w/ 2 trailers) so he is gone from 6pm- 4am! Though! We miss him so much, but we are so thankful for all his hard work! He is going to be applying for the Sherriffs department in April and we are hoping he can get in and go to Academy in July! And we are still going to see if we can appeal the CHP, just waiting on those darn papers!
As for me, I have 3 weeks or less left of pregnancy and then our sweet little Avenlie will be here!!! I am feeling good, just tired and very up and down emotionally! But my wonderful hubby and I were able to sneak way yesterday for a yummy lunch date and some adult time! I needed it BAD!!! He spoiled me and bought me a beautiful watch I was wanting! I made and gave him a few of his favorite treats and lots of love all day long! He is the best thing in the world and my abesolute best friend! I couldn't have ended up with a better man!!! LOVE you honey!!!

I really respect you guys for your decision, I know that that has to be so hard. Kip and I were considering the same for a while when we thought that we had to move away for his Paramedic School and I just cried thinking about it, but seriously it is such a smart thing to do to stay on top of life. Hang in there through the hard times, they will not last forever I promise.
