We are so blessed!
We just found out that Travis got a new job that will be very nice!
So, to sum it all up....
We knew we were supposed to move to St. George, so we moved into a place that was a great deal (But with some complaints that we didn't find out about until after we moved in). Then two weeks later, found out that it's getting foreclosed and we have to move out. So we found a very nice place that's bigger and better for an awesome deal. It's a 3 bedroom town-home with a one car garage in our old ward, so we already have lots of friends, and plus, it's just an AWESOME ward. And we'll be living next door to a friend of mine. So there is big blessing number one-I'm so excited to move in!
So then, Travis moves down after graduation, and starts his new job at Midas. Not at all what he expected... The pay is worse than we thought it was going to be, not a good work environment, and plus Travis remembered why he prefers dealerships over independent shops. Just a lot of things that made Travis (and me) not happy with his new job. So... last Wednesday, the manager of the Stephen Wade Toyota repair shop called and wanted to know if Travis was still looking for job... yes! (Well... not still, but again looking for a job) So he interviewed with him, and yesterday we found out that he got the job!! With better pay than he was getting in Ogden and at Midas(Not hard to do on that one...) And better benefits(dealership usually always have better benefits) with health insurance for the whole family!! Needless to say that we are excited! So there is big blessing number two.
And here is another interesting twist to the story... Two weeks after Travis started working in St. George, we found out that Chrysler/Dodge is shutting down a bunch of franchises, and Hinckley Dodge in Ogden (Where Travis used to work)is one of them. We found out that they laid off 6 people from the service and parts department so they can keep the service deparment open... at least for a while... If we were still in Ogden, Travis for sure would've been one of those people who would've got laid off. So we are very blessed to have moved beforehand and not had any period of time with no job and income, phew! So there is big blessing number three!
And of course, we have many more blessings. But we know for sure that we are where we need to be, and where we are supposed to be. Things might not work out the way you expect, but if you are faithful, they always work out in the way that's best! We are so happy! WAHOO!!!!

That's amazing to think you were inspired to move to St. George and now you find out that if you stayed, Travis could have lost his job! I'm so happy that things are working out and that the Lord is blessing you. Even with all the unknowns Wade and I have, we still feel SO blessed, as well. Life is good.
That's wonderful for you guys. Put one step of faith into the dark and faith lights the way. It's awesome to me how Heavenly Father is in the very details of our lives. He truly loves us and watches over us. Reading your post makes me remember all the times in my life that have been very similar...frustrating, sometimes scary, and then miraculous. It is such a miracle the way things always turn out so much better than we would've ever planned on our own. He makes so much more of our lives as we put our hands into His and let Him lead us by the spirit. thanks for helping me remember those times. It makes me humbled and grateful. I'm sooo happy for you guys. congrats!!
I am glad that things are looking up for your sweet family. Isn't it wonderful how God works in mysterious ways. It was kind of the same way when Matt and I moved here. Hope that things keep going well for you and Travis.
Wow. You got to see the end of the path already. (this one anyway.) That's awesome.
The story makes me so happy. I'm sorry it's been rough getting to this point, but I'm so happy for you. The new place, the new job, and benefits, too! Hurray!
Wow that is so awesome for your family. It's true things always work out in the end when you put your faith in Heavenly Father.
I am glad that things are turning out for you guys. It is tough to get through the rocky spots hoping that there is something better in store.
I'm so glad things worked out for you guys. Obvious signs of how faithful you guys have been. Heavenly Father loves you, that's for sure. keep it up. And i'm glad we have more people and reasons to visit St. George!
I'm so glad things are working out for you guys. You deserve it. We miss you in Ogden but are glad things are working out so well for you. God definately has had a hand in guiding you.
