Changes

The week before we went to Disneyland Nick was approached about a job in Davis School District.  He has looked at several school jobs since we left Logan and even applied for one in the early spring last year, but the last few months we have become more content here and quit looking for anything.  We were settled in our house...I even unpacked the storage room and bought curtains for two of the other rooms just a few day before heading to Disney.  We were settled in Nicks job as he was able to pick up more time with kids and was getting ready to start working in the pediatric clinic.  We were settled in our callings...me making big plans for RS activities and Nick LOVING his time serving in the teachers quorum.  Anyway while we were in line at our first day in Disneyland, they called and interviewed Nick.  When he got off the phone I didn't even ask him about it because I knew it wouldn't amount to anything.  Nick has at least one recurter a week calling and telling him about jobs, so I wasn't worried.  Two days later standing in a different line they called and offered him the job.  Still not considering it, I said I would let him know.  On the drive home Nick said, it wasn't a well paying job, in a place we had never considered but we should at least pray about it.  I was surprised when Nick said after praying about it that he felt strongly we should take the job.  He encouraged me to pray and get my own answer.  I was freaking out at this point.  I don't want to move.  I feel like for the first time since leaving Logan I AM SETTLED.  Does the Lord think this is funny?  I have a 3 month old baby...still going through post baby feelings and health...I can't move.  We went to stake conference and I was honestly thinking have a talk or something that will hit Nick and change his mind.  Instead two talks hit me.  One on Change and one on following the spirit.  But I was still unsure and I didn't feel like we could tell them yes without me feeling good about it.  Mom and dad came over Monday night and dad gave me a fathers blessing.  Nothing amazing changed but the next day I felt peace about it.  Meeting more opposition that week I began to question my answer but on Thursday, mom and I drove up with the girls to get a feel for the place and peace was there again.  So WE ARE MOVING AGAIN!  I'm tired even thinking about the stress and work of a move.  We have found a place though in Farmington to rent.  We will miss so much about Price.  My parents, my grandpa, our friends, our ward, our callings, our house, Mollys dance and preschool, Nicks job, the ease of things being so close to get to, family visiting so often, etc.   I feel like my faith is being tested because this financially doesn't make sense for our family and it isn't something we would have chose at this time, but we are going and praying the Lord will support us.  Nick will start November 14th.  Not sure the exact date of the move.

Wow, big deal! Good luck. Who knows how long it will take to see the reasons, but someday you will, since you're obviously being guided to move there. God bless!
