Daycare Update

I found the most PERFECT daycare for Robert. I ended up taking most of Friday off. I was having anxiety and the daycare places are just too expensive. I understand that A LOT of people get state assistance for daycare but come on $815 is a joke! Why work?

I went and checked out a few places and was feeling ok about them and so I went home and went thru the list of daycares I had and felt like I needed to call the Turner's. I called them and we set up an appointment for Monday (today). I went to my last appt I had on Friday and that one was going to be the one, but it still wasn't feeling just right. It was good, but out of the way so just because it was cheaper didn't mean I was going to save anything. I called JoAnna back and asked her if I could just come over that day (Friday). She said yes.

The whole way there, I was feeling like this is going to be the one. I walked in and I just knew that that was were Robert needed to be. It's perfect. It's a home daycare. Husband/Wife team. I met a very happy dad, that has two children there. I signed him up and he'll start going April 4th.

I had happy dreams about it all weekend.

Thank you Heavenly Father for directing me to JoAnna and Tom Turner.



Now we wait to hear about Bryce's new position at work. He turned down one position today that if this other one doesn't work out would have been a great 2nd choice BUT it didn't feel right. We're praying that the other one works out. It's where he wants to be and he will have the best chance of success there and he will be able to make it a career in that department

Counting My Blessings

I officially believe in miracles. In case anyone is wondering. About a week and a half ago, my grandma sent me an email that my cousin (well really my dad's cousin's son---he's my cousin somehow) was taking a turn for the worse. Zach had to come home from his mission early due too illnesss. He has a really bad back and that was bad and he was just SICK. Well, they had found an infection in his bone of some joint and they were treating it but it was getting any better. They took him to San Diego to a hospital there (they're from Vegas) and they were automatically sending him to UCLA. They said he had pnemonia and a blood infection. Well, come to find out he had a really BAD staff infection and they had him mom call his dad because they didn't know how long he'd make it. LOTS of prayers, blessings and HIGH antiboitics caused my cousin to not only clear the blood infection and the infection in the lungs, but the bone infection to where he didn't need surgery and he's been released with a picc line and a home health nurse but he's going to be alright. He's in a lot less pain and he's doing well. I love you all and I'm so grateful for my belief in God and the power he has!

So AMAZING!

Not a whole lot has gone on lately. We're still waiting to hear on the house. I am getting more and more anxious each day. We finally had our meeting with the company who is buying our firm on Monday. You know that you pray and pray about something and you have no idea why something happened this way. When I was looking and interviewing for jobs, I ended up with 3 job offers in one day. Two of them being really good opportunities. After taking this one, I still wasn't sure why I was supposed to take it. The other one had health insurance and tons of holidays off, a 401K, etc and this one was just a job. Well, not only have a learned sooooooo much that will help us when Bryce starts his business, but I am now going to be working in the accounting department and handling all our current clients payrolls (which I already do), but I'll be learning to prepare payroll reports and I'll continue to do data entry. I also will be taking on some of their payrolls. The best part of all of this is they haven't even really seen what I can do, they have only heard from my current boss and they're starting me at $1.50 MORE an hour, the employee's health insurance is paid for and they offer a 401K and instead of matching they just put money into it each year. Plus I can ride trax to save gas and they'll pay for the trax pass. The Lord blesses us in so many ways and 6 months ago I thought I was doing something crazy, but I know now that it was the right thing. I've also applied to the LDS Business College which is the builidng next to ours and I'm going to get my associates in Business and than hopefully go to the U and get my bachelors. So excited. We are truely blessed.
