In March Brett and I took a well needed R&R to St. George. We wanted to bask in the sunlight but got rained instead. However, the green grass and beautiful flowers made up for it. We did a session at the Temple there and were excited to get a chance to see some areas of the temple that most people can't. My mom and sister in law watched our kids as we spent time relaxing and enjoying each others company.

Once home we got back into the swing of things with soccer, soccer and more soccer. Parker just finished her indoor season and has started her spring session of competitive league games. Alexa made her school soccer team and has been having 3 games a week. CRAZY!! Tayler is going to try tumbling this next month, and Sam and Logan will start their well needed swim lessons in April as well. So busy time ahead.

We are preparing for the big event in July. The kids are so excited to have another baby sister. SURPRISE! We have been picking up a few things here and there and they are loving every minute of it. My favorite thing is when they want to feel the baby kick. Logan puts his ear and my belly and says, "She's crying mommy." Even with all the aches and pains that come along with having a baby in your thirties, it is worth it.

I just took my real estate agent test and pass my state exam but have to study some more to retake the general exam. Although it's a bummer I feel that the additional classes I have to take will be well worth it.

Brett got a job with Challenger Schools. After looking and interviewing for over a year, he finally received this opportunity. It seems to be the right job at the right time. He has expressed how much he likes it and the people he is working with. It seems that all the hard work has paid off.

I think my sister in Law Karen summed it up the best: "Often the deep valleys of our present will be understood only by looking back on them from the mountains of our future experience. Often we can’t see the Lord’s hand in our lives until long after trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are essential building blocks that form the foundation of our character and pave the way to future opportunity, understanding, and happiness. "
--President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Priesthood Session April 2010

I know that Brett receiving this job is because of the many prayers offered in our behave. We have felt the love that has come from both our families and all our friends. You know we can not see the big picture and it can get very frustrating especially when you are trying your hardest to do what is right. I can see now why it has taken this long and why we have had to struggle. We have learned many great and important experiences that have changed our lives. There are many, many blessing that have come from being jobless. They have been so abundant that I can't help but think that our Heavenly Father does loves us and wants the best for us.

OK so I'm rambling on. I haven't taken many pictures but will try to do better and post some in the future.
