Our Big Decision

As many of you already know the last six months have been extremely difficult for our family. After Scott lost his job in May we have gone through a series of ups and downs as we came up with plan after plan for our future lives. Because of our financial situation, we are now onto plan ZZZ - we are going to have to move out of our beautiful home into an apartment in November. While it has been a struggle, it has become clear that Heavenly Father must have something in mind for us to do and learn and the only way to accomplish it is to move! We are sad and a little excited at the same time. We are sad to leave the beautiful surroundings of our wonderful little home and sad to leave the awesome ward that we love so much. We will also really miss seeing our awesome neighbors as often. We are excited because we hope that when we are situated in our new place we will find that we can breathe a little easier and not have to stress about money so much. Who knows, maybe we can afford to go on a little trip to California or go to a movie every now and then. But the best part of all is that now we will be able to really focus in on getting Scott through school. To help myself cope with the move I took several pictures of our house the way that I would like to remember it and I want to share them.

One of my favorite rooms in the house is Stephen's bedroom. I love it because we worked so hard on it to get it ready before he was born. Scott spent hours painting the room and making the stripes on the walls perfect. All of the bedding and paint matches perfectly and we spent MANY hours refinishing the dresser. I am very proud of this room and I regret that we will not get to enjoy it any more. Luckily, the most important part - Stephen - will still sleep just as sweetly wherever we go and I wouldn't trade that for anything!

Stephen spent several minutes hidding in the closet earlier today while I took these pictures. He liked going behind the closed part and getting really quiet. It was pretty funny.

In case anyone is wondering where we are going to move to, we found some aparments only about two miles from our current home. They are called San Angelin and are located on Baseline and Sunnyvale Road between Higley and Recker. They were built in 2006 and are a great deal! Here is a picture of the pool and some of the buildings.
