After the dust settles...

Scott found a job!!! Yay! He will be working for Whitton Companies doing some office stuff - estimating/accounting... We are so excited because it will be full time to start off and then he will be able to work part-time in the fall and they are willing to work around his classes! Not only that, he will be able to get some experience in something related to accounting.

This big change comes with some mixed emotions: excitement, gratitude, and sadness. I will miss having my hubby around every day to help out with the kids and around the house and to talk to whenever I want. I have been rather spoiled but I knew it couldn't (and shouldn't) last.

I also feel a lot of gratitute to my Heavenly Father. We have been praying and praying for a job like this to come along ever since Scott quit his last job to go to school full time. (Almost a year ago). I often wondered why this particular prayer didn't seem to be answered. Looking back over the time I realized that I needed my husband home as much as possible - my pregnancy was so scarry at the begining and I couldn't lift Stephen at all - how could I have made it through without him there? Then, after Boston was born I still couldn't lift Stephen and with the c-section, I was out of commision for a while - Scott was able to be there to help me then too. And of course, the most recent surgery for my hernia. I feel so normal (for the first time in soooo long) and I can lift my babies and do whatever I want to do and it is GREAT! So after all of the dust settled this job landed in our laps. Heavenly Father knew the right timing, like He always does.

Wow! You have had tons of things going on with your family! Having a baby, your surgery, finding a job, taking care of your 2 little boys(who are totally adorable)...I'm glad to know everything is coming together. I definitely agree that the Lord's timing is always in our best interest, even if we don't quite see that at times. Thanks for sharing your blog with me!

I love it when we can see (in this life) the reason for the Lord's timing...I felt that way with Evan. He truly does know. You have had it rough, and I too am glad Scott's been able to be there!

Congrats on the new job!
