I would feel really ungrateful if I didn't share our experience last month so here it goes. Brian and I talk a lot about our finances these days as I try to comprehend the inevitable debt that Medical School will bring. So far we have been extremely blessed--with me being able to graduate school so early has allowed me to work a full-time job out here which gives us just enough to live on (due to ridiculous rent prices).
Well last month Brian and I figured out the tithing we owed and Brian wrote the check out. It was only a few hours later when Brian received an email that said that he was being awarded a scholarship! I know that it was NOT a coincidence that we had just paid our tithing that morning. The Lord was blessing us for being faithful and obeying his commandments. I can't even begin to describe the gratitude that I feel. I am so much happier living on 90% of my income AND receiving the Lord's blessings. The church is true and I am so happy to be apart of it!
Here's a quick update.. We are very busy out here. I usually work 50 hours a week and Brian lives at the school. (Not really but kinda). Each week we have our No-Study-Sunday where we get to catch up and spend time together playing games, talking walks and playing Frisbee outside (weather permitting) and getting together with friends. I look forward to Sundays more than any other day of the week because I get to have Brian all to myself and not at the school.
Here are Brian and some of the boys from the ward
on their way to Priesthood. And below is me and my friend Brooke on a hayride. (She's pregnant and just found out she's having a girl.. WOOT!)
Here are two cute pictures of Hayden. She smiles all the time but trying to catch one on camera is super hard to do! In the bottom picture Hayden was smiling and then turned and planted a kiss right on my cheek just as I snapped the picture. Isn't it the cutest ever? I love this girl's kisses and her sweet phrases I get to hear every day, "I love you" "Bagel" "Hi" "Mama" and "Happy" (Happy was her first word.. isn't that so sweet?).
How could I ever be unhappy with my life when I have a girl like this to see every day?!
