Blessings

It took a neighbor to help me realize how blessed our family has been this past month.

First off...after 4 years of filling out numerous applications and being told he is the right man and then not getting the job, we have found full time employment.  It's with a completely different district, which is going to be a good thing. Dad will be teaching 6 possibly 7 theatre type of classes with a planning period.  This means he actually can eat lunch at a desk instead of eating while driving.  He has been doing this for 4 years now.  We don't technically have to move...but, it's still a possibility at least to a different house.

Our second blessing...Bryant will be able to return to the mission field.  His MRI came back normal saying that nothing new has torn and the surgery is healing.  He just has to get some muscles to back off and other muscles to take over.  Basically his muscles need to learn to play nice.  He is going to therapy still for about 4 weeks and then hopefully we get the release from the doctor, a plane ticket and back serving.  YAH~

3rd blessing...Charlie has been safe while in Europe (I'm writing this hoping his last day he is safe) He has had an amazing opportunity and wonderful experiences that I hope someday he writes down (hint,hint!)

4th blessing...Jacob has had an interview and 2 more to go for a part time job that he will be able to handle with school. He has had an amazing summer so far with the opportunity of attending EFY.

5th blessing...we took a family vacation and no one went to the ER or hospital...barely. We had the opportunity of attending the temple 3x for family either going through for the first time or getting married.  It was awesome!

6th blessing...Josh isn't in the hospital and is finally sleeping more then 30 minutes at night.  We have been able to sleep for at least 3 hours at a time which is amazing.

I know our family has been blessed more then I've written and my heart is full of gratitude for having the cloud lifted.
