That's Life

I think life is funny. We've been looking for housing in Provo for a while now, we are moving in April. Last week I found this apartment with a position to manage men's housing. They would pay for our rent and utilities and would even pay $15 an hour for any cleaning or maintenance work we did. Sounds great? We thought so. We went to the first interview and of course blew her out of the water, so we were accepted to the next round of interviews and to see the apartment itself. We were both really quite excited about this for the whole week, until Tuesday. I started to have my doubts and it so happened that I found what seemed to be the perfect condo located right next to campus. So from that point I was more for the condo and Jacob was for the managing position. Tuesday we went to Provo and first went to the condo. The people were incredibly nice and told us we'd have a good shot getting it because we are staying for 3 years. Unfortunately the apartment was VERY small. So we went to the next place thinking we'd for sure take that one now. Little did we know it was going to be smaller and noisier! So much that we couldn't even think of living in there, it was making me claustrophobic. So now we are back to square one, we have some we're going to look at, but are open to suggestions if anyone knows of any.

Then tonight we got in the car to go to Walmart when the car doesn't start. Jacob tried many things, none of which worked. He finally concluded that we needed a new battery; too bad that is our only car. Luckily we have good friends, who drove him to get a new one. Now our car is fixed and my heart is full. I feel so blessed to have a wonderful husband, who knows how to fix our car, or anything else that breaks. I know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and takes care of my life. I'm grateful to have the Holy Ghost in my life and the comfort that I feel when my life takes uncertain turns. Boy, life is crazy and great all at the same time! But I guess that's life.
Oh and I'm putting pictures of my two boys with their red hair. Jacob wanted to show that Steven gets some of his red hair from his daddy.
