Things Change Really Quick Sometimes!

So we're back in Rexburg....how did this happen? Calvin started his internship with Dunkin and Bush a couple of weeks ago and lets just say he was not all too happy when he got home every night. They are a great company but not at all what he thought or was looking for. I hated seeing him come home so exhausted and bored and just plain miserable because he just had to get up and do it again. Calvin is not a quitter and if he had to stick it out for the whole five months he would have. His mood wears on me too though and I said that if he were to find something else and we thought it was the right thing for us, that I would go anywhere with him and we would make it work out. Well on Friday August 3rd he sent an email and resume to Streamlined Homes here in Rexburg and on Monday got a job offer....CRAZY! We had to make a decision by six that night and if we said yes he would have to be on the job by Friday. So we took all day to think about it, wrote out the pros and cons of going and staying, shared our thoughts and worries and then...Prayed...a lot. We all know from the first line of this posting what our answer was. Calvin called up Streamlined Homes and accepted the job and the next day we packed up and were on the road. It was really hard to leave family and friends so quickly because we had literally just gotten there, but we know what we were to do and every mile closer to Rexburg felt better and better. It took us three days and two hotels to get here because me and traveling while pregnant and still so sick is not much fun! Our good friends Warren and Julie are out of town for the summer and so they were so kind as to offer us there place when we got here until we found housing. Such a great blessing. I was really sick the day we got here but the next day, which just happened to be yesterday, I went into my doctor and got more medicine for my nausea. I had been taking Phenergan but was out and that stuff knocked me out so the nurse recommended Zofran and thank goodness she did. I was in heaven! I have not had that much energy or acctually wanted to eat in who knows how long! During this wonder time of the day I actually found a great place for us to live too that is totally affordable and the perfect size for our needs for the next year or so. The power of prayer is amazing, I tell you! We prayed for so many things yesterday and many if not all of those things were answered within the next day. Our hearts were so full and I told Calvin I think Heavenly Father knew how much more I Couldn't take haha. So to celebrate a great day we went to Pizza Pie Cafe and our friend Scott works there and surprised us with a cookie monster! Such a nice guy! He was so surprised to see Calvin too and excited so that was his way of celebrating with us. So here we are, things are falling into place every day and now we just have to wait for the renovations to be done on our new place so we can move in. It feels so great to be back to what has been my home for so many years now and to have such great friends who are excited to have us back! Happy Saturday Everyone :)

  1. I am glad that the medicine is helping you feel better and that Calvin found an internship he enjoys. Can't wait to see baby pictures in February.
