New Beginnings

We are FINALLY in our own place! For a while now I've been asking Joshua for us to move out and we had our differences and arguments and blah blah blah. But now, after a while, we are officially on our own :) We are currently living in TVA right next to BYUH. We absolutely LOVE IT! Gabriel just asks to go to "his house". If I accidentally refer to my moms house as home he quickly corrects me and says "gamma's house lala", it's SO CUTE! We have a 2 bedroom, 1 bath with a living room and kitchen. It's on the second floor so I have to do quite a bit of climbing. My only complaint is that the parking is too far. Other than that it's just great. It's furnished with 3 beds, 2 dressers, 2 small drawers, a couch, table with 4 chairs, a refrigerator, a phone and a desk. The phone and cable is paid for as well as the internet. And it's CHEAP! Cheap for hawaii that is.

But I cannot say that it has happened with no trials. It's been a little tough on us financially. And my faith will be GREATLY tried. I have quit both of my jobs at the request of my husband. He's actually been asking me for a few months now and I am on my last week of work. I am sad but also excited to just be home with my kids. It will take great faith in trying to make it financially. If Joshua has been impressed for me to stay home then I will honor the covenants that I have made in the temple and follow. I am so proud of him and so proud of us. I know that the Lord has had a hand in ALL things in our lives. He has allowed these trials for us to face so that we may grow stronger. I know some of them were our own faults and we have paid the price. I hope that in the future we will learn to head the promptings of the spirit and learn to pray in thanks for all things. I am grateful for this opportunity and grateful for the life I have been given. Wish us luck cuz we surely will need it! But with God on my side, who is there to make afraid!? Til next time, thanks for reading!
