Called Away

Alright. Now to tell you where we are moving.

When Adam and I went to the temple, in hopes for an answer, we honestly thought the decision would be left up to us. What a weighing thought. But, to our surprise we each, individually, received an answer.

We had planned on going to the 4 o'clock session. Well we were running behind. We got to the temple around 3:50 pm. A couple of older women stopped us in front of the doors to ask if I could take their picture. I politely agreed, and took their picture with their disposable camera. That felt weird. Anyway. We only had about 5 minutes to make it to the session. We split up with plans to meet in the chapel. Pay attention to the time line. That is important.

Adam made it just in time for the session and sat down just as everyone was told to leave. Adam didn't see me at all and asked some workers to look for me in the dressing room. No one found me. Adam waited in the chapel until about 4:10 pm. Now, when Adam left there were three people waiting for the next session, the organist, and a worker sitting at the pulpit. Adam, thinking he had just missed me and I was in the session with out him, then spoke to a worker and left to do Initiatories. Now it gets weird.

I didn't get in there until 4:05 pm. There wasn't a soul in there. No one was waiting for the next session, the organist wasn't playing music, and there was no worker at the pulpit. No one was in the chapel. I waited around the lobby until about 4:20pm. I then thought Adam had gone into the session without me and spoke to a worker and did Initiatories myself.

Adam received his answer while doing Initiatories. Awesome.  I won't go into detail, because that's Adam's personal experience.  After Adam was done he went up to the Celestial room to wait for me to be done with the session... But I never showed up. So he went and got dressed.

I did not receive my answer until after while waiting in the lobby for Adam. I was looking at a painting of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, when the smallest voice told me, "Go to Indiana". Not even a minute later, Adam came out of the dressing room. (:

That's right people! We're going to Indiana! Fort Wayne to be exact. When exactly, not quite sure yet.   Most likely the middle of May.  We are so excited to start this new adventure at a family.

I bare testimony that the Lord has a plan for us.  He sends us where we need to be at the right time in lives.  He answers our prayers when we are humbled and ready.  We feel that we are not only being sent out to Indiana for ourselves, but for others.  We can not wait to meet new people and find out what services we get to perform for them and the Lord.  If you have ever prayed for an answer as to where to live in your life and received an answer, you know what a comforting feeling it is to know where the Lord wants you.  It's a different feeling when you have prayed and received an answer with your spouse.  What a blessing.

There is probably so much more I could say on this topic, but my mind is turning to mush.

So... Take Luck!  (;

Easter

Because we moved (to St. George for the time being) the day before Easter, not much was planned. I had planned a dinner a couple weeks before hand so that was done. But other then church, that's all really. We did however get great pictures of Alister. He know seems to know what the camera is, so when he sees you pointing it at him he gives a smile. (: so darn cute! Adam actually took all the ones of Alister, so that's his work. (: We hope you had a wonderful Easter. Always remember The Lord and his sacrifice for us.

Ask and Thou Shalt Recieve

Life has been full of twists and turns lately. And there had been one big question on our minds. Where are we going to move.

Our lease ends March 31st and we knew we didn't want to stay in this house. Sure it has great curb appeal... Or it did. Anyway, lets jump back, oh... Four months.

Back in November while driving home from Kanab on a beautiful fall day, Adam asked a life changing question. He asked if he could apply for a new job. One that was... Far away. I responded with a yes. What harm could come of it. It would be fun to see if he could get an interview. Little did we know on that car ride home, just how life changing it would be.

Adam applied for the job, and on the application was told that serious candidates would be contacted within two weeks time of the application. Well those two weeks went by and nothing happened. Three more weeks went by with no changing news. Adam had finally excepted that he was not getting that interview. Well just two or three days later, he received an email. He got the interview. What a delightful surprise! Well the interview was until the beginning of February. We had to play the game. No problem.

The interview came and it could not have gone better. Adam was the tenth interviewee in two days and the only one that the interviewer had liked. So, needless to say, he got a second interview. He just had that recently and they are going t fly he and I out for the third and final interview. We fly out April 18th.

Now, since we found this out, we have wanted to know, where are we wanted by The Lord. We have had this question for weeks. Well, on March 16th, we received our answer in the temple.

Now, our experience in the temple is a whole story of its own. So we'll discuss that later. The important part right now is that we received the answer to go. Now, I'm sure you knew that with reading this blog post. If the answer was to stay I would not have written it. We are needed i this far away place. What an exciting adventure.

I'm sure you are sitting on the edge of your seat, bitting your nails just waiting to read where this far away place is exactly. Well I'll tell you. In our next blog post! HA!

St. Patrick's

Well, this year we didn't do a lot for St. Patrick's but that's okay.  We had Lucky Charms and green milk for breakfast so that's fun and easy.  We wanted to play outside but it was windy so that was a bust.  But here's a few pictures.

Eight Months

Not a ton to update on, so here's a few pictures to enjoy.  :)

Seven Months

Oh my goodness.  Seven months old.  And he's spent almost the whole time being sick.  He got a cold and got better after about a week.  Then a few days later got sick again, so now he has bronchitis.  Super lame.  He handles being sick well though.  He's a brave little boy.  He's been eating mush (solids) a little before he turned six months old.  He loves it.  :)  He's liked almost everything I've given him.

Valentines... Gross

So, Valentines is actually on of my least favorite holidays.  But, we had a little, simple date anyway.  :) We saw a movie, Rise of the Guardians.  And went to a Thai and Sushi restaurant called Benja's.  And we're lame and didn't get any pictures.  So, this really is kind of a lame post.  Yep.

But really, Valentines is lame and stupid.  It's just an excuse women use to make their man do something romantic.  Then the men get all stressed to make it all special.  Romance should just come naturally and you should want to do it.  If you're having to force romance upon someone, then you might want to rethink that relationship.

Now, here's some Valentine Baby pictures!  :)  Our handsome little boy.
