Hi There!

It's been quite some time since I've written on here and for that I'm sorry. I completely missed Christmas! I'll make it up some day I promise. For now, I'm here to vent a little.

As a lot of you know, Peter lost his job last week. It's ok, we saw it coming. His boss had it out for him and they took advantage of a minuscule mistake to fire him. Oh well. It's in the past. Right now we are focusing on spending some much needed time as a family. The kids and I are all LOVING having Peter home. It's nice to be able to make dinner while Peter entertains Jack so I don't have a toddler hanging on my leg the whole time! We've definitely missed him!

As far as how we're doing goes...we're ok. Peter had an interview a few days ago and right now we're just waiting to see if he got the job. We've been praying and fasting that everything will work out and we feel really good right now. As good as can be expected at least! I've gotten more and more into couponing which has helped us increase our food storage in the past few months. So we will still be eating. For how long I'm not sure, if the kids keep eating like they did last night our food storage will only last about a week!

All in all we feel like Heavenly Father is blessing us. We wanted Peter to be done with BVCU, and he is. Not quite on our terms but that's ok. Another blessing we've received is Ryan getting into another elementary school. It's in a better district with a better special education program and I think it's going to be a great move for him. Daniel is on the wait list, #4, so we'll just have to wait and see if he can get in too.

In all of this mess we can see how much we are loved. Not just by our Heavenly Father but by our ward, Family and Friends. There are so many people out there praying for us and thinking about us that I feel very positive that everything will work out. We are so grateful for all of the prayers and thoughts that are going out for us. I firmly believe that this is a blessing in disguise.
