Life works out after all!

Well, I'm late on the news, but Jonny finally got a job!!! He heard back last week from an interview with Canyon Stone in Salt Lake. The want him to start on the 20th, so he did a small temp job that he absolutely hated. It was basically assembly line work, but he did it because we needed it. I'm so proud of him. So the job is for a sales/estimator position, which is a mix of what he was doing here and in Virginia. The company does exterior stone and stucco for commercial and residential properties. He's been doing flooring for the past 3 years, so it'll be a little different, but I'm sure he'll pick up on it quickly and do amazing!

But, since the job's base pay isn't high enough, we don't qualify for our townhome. :( But we found this great townhouse in Pleasant Grove that's similar to the townhouse in Lehi. 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 2 car garage. It's almost perfect for us! It doesn't have a backyard or a basement for all of our crap, but that's ok. It does have a common grass area in the back, so that'll work. We'll be just fine! So we signed the papers last night and we'll be in on Saturday!! Woo hoo!! I will try my best to get pictures up ASAP (along with another belly pic that I know is long overdue).

Lily is growing SO much! I take her in tomorrow for a checkup, which she hasn't has since she was 9 months! But last week, Jonny and I wrote out a list of words that she can say. Not ones that she copies, like "Lily, say microwave" or something, but ones that she actually knows and comes up with on her own. Any guesses as to how many words she can say???

I'll leave you in suspense and post the list when I update after her appointment. It may or may not be tomorrow... :)

The inevitable...

Well, the inevitable finally happened: we lost our house. I was just waiting for it to happen, so I've come to terms with it. It really really REALLY sucks, but maybe something better will come along for us. As for Jonny...well, I think he's in denial. He doesn't like to admit or talk about things like this, so I think he's just trying to forget about it. Poor guy.

It's going to be extremely sad to see this house go, especially after the months we spent watching it being built. I'm not sure we'll get into another house by the end of the year...or by the time the baby's born, but someday I suppose. I'm still waiting for my long lost rich uncle to die and leave me as his sole heir! Ha, I wish!!

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. We really do appreciate them! And we know that Heavenly Father has *something* in store for us...even if it's not what we thought it was!

So anyway, sorry for such a downer post! I'll try and work on a happier one this weekend!
