Miracle!

I believe in miracles!

The last few weeks of our lives have been very crazy. We have experienced a lot of changes and a lot of blessings. We have been trying to sell our house in Texas for over a year and were not having any luck. We loved our house, but we weren't too keen on the neighborhood and living so far out of town, so we were trying to move. It was not happening.

Then David switched jobs in July and began traveling to Nashville each week. We were really hoping the house would sell and we could all move together to Tennessee and start a new adventure there.

Then the job turned out to be crazy and unstable and stressful. It just wasn't a good working environment or opportunity for David. After 3 months of trying to make it work we felt it was time to move on. We didn't know what we were going to do, but we weren't going to continue down the path we were on with David gone all the time and working at a job he didn't like. So...we decided David was going to find a new job. The very day that David finalized his resignation with his company a man came to our door to promote his business. He was from our neighborhood and was starting up a business and was soliciting business. We had a nice conversation at the front door where I told him we were not doing any home improvements because our house was on the market but I would tell my friends about his business. He told me he knew how that went because he had moved in January and was being forced to move again in a few days because the house he was renting had been sold and they had to move. It was your average friendly conversation and he left. Then the lightbulb went on!

I went to talk to Dave about the guy at the door and I said to David..."he mentioned that he had to be out of his house by Saturday and was waiting to hear back on a rental at the beginning of our subdivision. Maybe he would want to rent our house. It's a long shot, but all he can say is no".

Well, he didn't say no, he said yes! He came back over and spoke with David for a long time. They worked out an 18 month lease and we started packing. We packed our 4300 sq foot home in 3 days and had our realtor draw up a lease and do background checks and get everything in order in 3 days. By Saturday we had loaded up 2 26 foot trucks, flown my BIL out to drive a truck, and pulled out with the RV for our 2 day drive to Utah! We moved home!

I can't believe we're here. It's been such a crazy time and such a wonderful time all at the same time. Every time we turned around things fell into place. We know that we are supposed to be here right now and that his the right thing for us. We are living with my MIL in Draper in a wonderful basement apartment! We get to see cousins and brothers/sisters and grandparents everyday. The kids love it and are already adjusting in school. David is looking for a job and feels confident that the right thing will come along. It's been crazy, but such a miracle for us!
