Our secret is out

So for those of you who don't know the secret yet or the story behind it here it is. We are moving back into our home in UT. We have tried everything we could think of to move on from that home. But everything we tried failed. Well after one very frustrating day I finally told Ben "It all come down to that stinking house, maybe the Lord is trying to tell us something". So after some prayer and much thought we made the choice to move back into our home. Since we made this choice Ben has finally made some life choices of his own for him and our family. This is something I have been praying for for the last 6 months. We were planning on moving back before the girls started school in the fall and to take our time in finding a job. Ben started to have promptings that he needed to look more seriously for a job. Which we started to do. Well Ben talked to his brother/boss about all of this since he and his family have been such a great help to us these last six months and Ben wanted him to know first before the cat was fully out of the bag. His brother was very supportive of him but we really didn't expect anything less from him. Then yesterday night I got an email from our land management company that said that our renters gave their notice that they were moving out early. Way early, they only gave us a weeks notice. Now I was freaked and excited about this. I was excited because that would mean that we could really move back whenever we wanted now and I was freaked because we don't have a job yet and we still have a mortgage to pay. Due to our renters moving out we will be moving back the first part of May. Sooner if Ben is able to secure a job before then. Another way that the Lord has blessed us with all of this is we have been thinking of selling our van for a while and just this past Monday we were able to do that for a single mother in our Branch. Both Ben and I felt as though this was the Lord's way to start preparing our way back home. Then yesterday I got the email about our renters. So now we have set the date and are praying really hard that Ben will be able to find a job. We know times are tough for everyone and that finding a job at this time is really hard. We are sad to leave Iowa but really excited to go back home. That's our secret. I would like to ask for prayers for Ben to find a job and if you could also include our friend Danny Rico we would be so grateful.

Girl, you are the queen of moving. Do you ever get sick of it? What a trooper for staying positive.

We will pray for you to get a job. Is Danny out of work too?
