Well I am excited to announce that Justin got accepted to the University of Utah. He will start school for his PHD in Exercise Science in the fall. We are hoping that he can get an Assistantship, like he did at CWU(that is where the school waives your tuition,then Justin will teach P.E classes or labs and he gets paid for it, such a huge blessing). It should take him about 2-3 years to get his degree , then we get to do the whole job search thing again:)
It has been a long wait, and it is such a relief to know what we are doing, instead of just "hanging out" waiting for something to happen. But I have come to the conclusion that this is the reason why none of the jobs have worked out, Justin is supposed to continue his schooling. Which I am thrilled about because his ultimate goal is to teach at a University, and this brings him one step closer to his goal.
It has been a very long road to get to this point, but I know that I have grown a lot from it and my testimony has increased. Whenever I felt that things were just too hard and I didn't have any hope left. The Lord would pour out his tender mercies on us, usually through the help of other people, a lesson at church or by some other means. I find it ironic that it is when you have been broken down and you feel at your weakest that you find your strength. Justin tells me that it is the same with your body. When you are working out and trying to build your muscles up, they have to be broken down first, then you have to keep working before they can grow and become stronger. But if you break down your muscles, but don't keep working on them to build them up they stay weak, and it is harder to strengthen them.
Anyways on to the next chapter of our lives, I can't wait!!!
(On another note, my blog will be going private in a couple of days, so leave me your email address so I can invite you :)

thinking of you!
That is exciting that things are falling into place. It can be frustrating in the waiting, having faith, believing everything will work out process, but definitely a time of growth.

Hey congrats on getting into school!! We are moving to TX in August for grad school as well!!! SO excited. You have a beautiful family. I can't believe that Sydney is 3. Sheesh!!!
Hey I tried freezing a cup of milk like you said your dad did and it's great! I think my husband would agree that it is a whole lot healthier than so much of the apple juice.
I am so happy for you guys.
