Count your blessings!!!

After the last post so many wonderful things have been happening!! Let me just tell you the rest of the story up to this point.....

After we sold my car I got sad for a day thinking how hard it was going to be with only one car. I started shopping around. We went to one place that wanted to finance us for a million% with a million $ down and a million $ a month . No thanks then we called carmax and they had a decent van for way too much and a high finance rate. I kept talking to my Dad about it all trying to find the best deal. He reminded me of the last scripture that I talked about said just wait the right thing will come along. Well it did!! Tuesday I found a nice van a Honda Odyssey good price good everything. All we have ever wanted was the Odyssey . We went later that night and looked at it and drove it. The lady was awesome!! We talked and talked and laughed and just really hit it off from our first phone conversation. While we were there looking at the car we let her know we couldnt really afford what they were asking. She kept saying that she really liked us and wanted us to have the car. (she was attached to her car the way I was to mine) She ended us selling us this great van for super cheap!!! Wednesday me and my Dad went down and he helped me apply for the loan. Once again we didnt think it was going to happen....We thought we would have to barrow a bunch of money or something. About 2 hours later we heard back from the bank that we were approved!! Wooooo whoooooo!!!! Well long story short (too late) Me and Livy drove home in the new van that night!!! I LOVE it!!!!


So just to jump around and tell my story out of order and all mixed up.....

Saturday night we found out that we are expecting another
BABY!!!!! Just another reason I wanted to get a van right away before I started feeling super sick. So as some of you know we live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Not big enough for a family of 5 right?? To qualify for a 3 bedroom you must have 5 people living in your household. So first thing Monday morning I let our apts know that we are having another baby and to put our name on the list for a 3 bedroom. It normally is a really long wait, sometimes years because no one moves out. But nope not for us with the shower of blessings we have been getting lately, by Wednesday the manager of our apts let us know that there will be an apt. ready for us in about 30 days!!! Im just amazed by all the wonderful things Heavenly Father has been blessing us with in the past few weeks. I keep trying to figure out why he is doing all of this. With all the different reasons I come up with the one thing I truely believe is that He is doing all of this for us because He LOVES us so much!! And wants us to know it!

I am far from the kind of person I want to be, but even further from the person I was!! I am so happy to be right where I am today. Maybe He just wants me to know that He is proud of where we are heading as an eternal family!!!

I cant believe we are having another baby!! WOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOO
