We are now settled in a new home, in a new town in Texas, and working a new job. Mike got a new job where he will be working 40 hour weeks instead of 100 + hur weeks. It's in a town called Conroe which is 30-50 miles north of Houston. We are rentimg yet again (yuck) but if the job works out we are thinking about building (YAY!)
The past year has been full of uncertainty and changes but we have been greatly blessed. When Mike got the job with Halliburton we got insurance which was good because I was pregnant and once Mike was out of school who knew how long medicaid would last. Living in Fort Worth Mike had a normal working schedule although we were still going back and forth to Midland. If we hadn't have spent so much time in Midland, we wouldn't have gotten to know the ward we would live in and made friends. That ward took very good care of us and we loved that ward. I found a good doctor in Fort Worth that I liked and was willing to work with our time schedule and do my surgery befrore the end of the year. I have felt better than I have in a long time since my surgery so it was a really good thing to do. If Mike hadn't been looking for a new job in Midland when he did, we wouldn't have gotten his current job.Things are falling into place and we are being blessed. Now here in Conroe we have the opportunity to share the love and service that our Midland ward showed us with a family who is going to have a long and difficult pregnancy to deal with. I am really excited for the chance to help someone else.
And through all of the moves and changes, Daniel has been a very good sport and has handled it all very well. He even potty trained himself while we were living in a hotel. Every now and then he would tell me "I don't want to live in the apartment anymore. I want to live in the hotel." The locations would change depending on where we were currently at. He has also reacted very well to having Emily here. He loves her and very rarely shows any jealousy towards her.
I have been blessed with a wonderful family and so much more. I am so grateful for all the Lord has seen fit to give me even though I'm sure I don't deserve it.
