Where we are now

We have had an interesting ride since Liam graduated in May.  Things definitely did not turn out how we had planned them too, but looking back we can see that Heavenly Father has blessed us with so many things.  We did not expect to be unemployed for seven months or to spend all of that time living in my parents basement, but we have come to believe that through that forced time of unemployment Liam was able to have enough time to study hard for the bar.  Which we feel is why he passed.  After many months of praying, fasting, and a few disappointments as far as jobs go Liam was finally offered a job in Sandy working for the state.  This happened about three weeks before Owen was born so we quickly started looking for somewhere to live.  We found a town home in Lehi very quickly, and everything seemed to fall into place for us so that we were moving things in about a week before Owen was born.  We couldn't physically move in until after Owen was born so Liam and my family used that time to unpack some things and try and get things as ready as possible for our family to move in.  We moved into our town home 1 week after my c-section.  Liam started his job the second week in January.  As all of this was happening I wondered why it all had to happen while I was either extremely pregnant or trying to recover from having a c-section and having a new born.  It ended up being a blessing to have Liam around for so long after having the baby.  He was able to care for Ella and to get our home ready for us to move in.  It has been exactly 1 month today since we have had Owen and I can truly see that Heavenly Father has blessed us in unforeseen ways and that his plan really was a blessing that I could not see at the time.  I am grateful for our family, especially my parents, for taking care of us during this time in our lives when we really needed help.
