It's raining blessings!

I am always amazed at how well we're taken care of sometimes. Heavenly Father really loves us so much, I don't know why we ever panic!

As you may know, I've been have difficulty adjusting to our new home. Over the weekend I was becoming really stressed. I was just finding myself unable to calm down, Josh was trying to help, but I just couldn't relax. I was praying so hard for patience and understanding, and just begging him to help me be able to cope with our living situation better. I had reached a breaking point and didn't know what else to do. Sunday morning we were on our way to a friend's homecoming, when Leslie called us. She told us that there is a family in our ward has been trying to sell their house for about a year. They want to move to Washington (that's where they're from) and they've finally decided that they just need to go NOW. They're not going to be able to wait any longer for this house to sell. So they're looking for someone to watch it, so that it's not vacant. So she gave them our number and they called us later that evening. Basically, we need to maintain the lawn (mow it), keep the house clean for whenever there's a showing, and live there. We don't have to pay anything except utilities. Since we're not renting, there's no terms as far as how long we'll be there. It could sell in a month or 6 months. Who knows? Josh and I will have a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3k sq foot home, on a half acre lot with a 2 car garage (yay!), and we only pay utilities. It's about 6 houses down from Randy and Leslie, so we'll still see them, any time we/they want. We're not going to unpack all of our stuff, just the things that can be easily repacked or things we need. Since a home usually has a little bit of time between offer and actually closing, we'll have plenty of time to move back in with Randy and Leslie, or maybe even find our own place, when the time comes. The family that's moving is going to leave a few things behind, so we don't have to worry about keeping certain things furnished (since we sold our couches and stuff). They're also leaving the kitchen appliances. It'll be great.

Like I said earlier, Heavenly Father never seizes to amaze me with his blessings. We've really had some prayers answered and we're really fortunate to be so blessed. I am so grateful that we've had the opportunity to find help when in need. I don't know what I'd do if it weren't for the love and support of our families and friends. We're given so many challenges in this life, but we're never given anything more than what we can handle. We're always being watched over, so a helping hand can be given when we ask.

That being said, once we get moved in, maybe we'll have a BBQ! We'll have lots of room, and we've been wanting to host a "get together" for sometime now!
