A home of our own

In Febuary the blessings continued to come in we had saved enough to be able to move into a home of our own. We were tired of staying with people and so grateful to have a space of our own once agian. While i was in Yuma adam was busy looking for a place of our own that meet all of our needs. We looked and looked and looked and started to get discouraged. Then one day Adam called me up and said i was driving around i saw a sign for a condo to rent. So i called on it and am looking at it. It has everything that we need but the problem is there is somone else looking at it and i have to make a decision now. I told him i trusted him take it im sure it would be perfect for our family. So he paid the deposit and later that weekend he came to yuma to pick up the family. We signed the papers and were handed the keys to our new home. It was a very exciting time for our little family. It felt like after so much time we were finally starting to experience independance once agian. We moved into 225 N Pomeroy #12 Mesa Arizona and loved ebing together as a family agian. The most wonderful part of this home it was a block from the temple and we loved walking to the temple with the boys. We were in the Mesa North Stake Centenniall Ward. We learned to love the people and our callings. I was the Enrichment Leader and Adam worked in the Clerks office.

A Job!!

We have decided to go home back to Utah on wedsnesday. But to our surprize after nearly 6 months of unemployment and many many hours on my knees we finally were blessed with a job. Adams sister Sarah was in the same ward as someone who owned a steel company. Who just happened to need someone. So not only a job but a job in the construction industry where Adam wanted to be. So in the middle of January Adam took me back to Yuma to stay with my parents while he stayed with Margie and we saved enough money to get into a place of our own. Adam started work at Milling Machinery Inc. in Mesa Arizona.

I was so greatful that Adam was back to work even though it wasnt doing exactly what he wanted to do he was back to work and working in construction. It wasnt a great job but it paid the bills and we were greatful for that. Prayers had been answered!

Happy Birthday Noah!!!

Christmas At Margies

Since we still had no huge commitments we decided to head back to Maricopa and spend Christmas with Aunt Margie's family. We had lots of fun spending more time with cousins. And we felt so lucky to be able to spend Chirstmas in the Hummel home. This is the first Christmas the boys have spent with family other then our little family. It was fun to be able to see the excitment of christmas from 6 little kids 5 and under. It was also fun to be able to get to know Margie sweet little girls.

Vinyl Machine

I know it has been a very long time since I have posted anything. And I have a ton to post about. But I just wanted to let everyone know we just got our Vinyl Machine and I am so so so excited about it. I cant wait to get it up and start using it. In the meantime anyone that need vinyl letters let me know I would love to make them for you. I have lots of colors and lots of fonts and lots of ideas! And the possibility is endless with vinyl. When i\I start making things I will start posting pictures for you all to see. I cant wait! And for all you AZ people we are going to be down in the Phoenix area for the next couple weeks so let me know if you want to come get something, or maybe we can bring it to you etc. We are hoping to find work out here so that we can be closer to family. Keep your fingers crossed!

Going to see Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth

After Thanksgiving we loaded up the car to head to grandmas house in yuma. But not first without a bump in the road. When we went out to load up the car we found that our car had been broken into the night before someone had smashed in the drivers side window an stollen ur GPS. Thnksful that was all that was taken. But still no fun to have to deal with. We called all over chandler to see if we could find someone to fix the window for us before we left. No luck the earliest we could get it fixed would be the next day. So we cleaned up the glass and decided to go ahead and head to yuma to have the window fixed. A blessing in the long run it was cheaper to have fixed there and they could fix it that day.
It was so wonderful when we got to Yuma and i was able to get a hug from my Mother. A mothers hug can make just about anything feel better. Back in Utah before we came to Arizona for Thanksgiving Adams parents neighbor had apple trees they said we could pick if we wanted. So the boys and I went out and picked apples lots of apples. And we brought those home with us so that Mom and I could can them. So mom and I set out to make apple sauce, apple pie filling and apple butter......but we soon learned that these apples were so small...it would take forever to get them all canned and they didnt yield much product afterwards. So we made apple pie filling and then decided apple sauce would be so much easier so thats what we did. Thomas loved helping turn the handle on the squeezo to make the apple sauce. A couple very long days later we were done. And more then glad that we were.
It was fun to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth as well as Katie and Micheal. The boys had fun playing with Micheal and look forward to seeing him when we can.

Thanksgiving in Arizona

A couple of weeks after we got to Utah we decided it would be fun to head to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with Sarah and Lances family as well as Margies family. While we were in Arizona Adam spent lots of hours looking for employment. A very frusterating time and at this point im sure we both thought it was never going to come to a end. We knwwhe te time wasright h Lord wou helpus to fid employmentit jus wasnt alwys easy waitig for te right time. We got to Arizona and loved spending time in the warm arizona weather compared to the cold Richmond Utah winter. Thanksgiving was fun and the boys loved being able to be around so many cousins this trip. Margies our litte girl Natalie, Hailey, Hanna and Brooke. As well as Sarahs kids Sami, Grant, Kayla, and of course Hunter. While we were there we were able to help celebrate Hunters 5th birthday. What a fun time to be able to spend with family. Thanksgiving came and went and still no employment. We decided that since we were so close to Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworths we would make the trip down and stay with them a little bit as well as pick up a vinyl machine that we were going to buy to see if we could make some extra money with it. And we all know when a girl is having a hard time with life its so wonderful to be able to be around her mom.

Just as a side note on our trip to Arizona from Utah somewhere along the side of the road sat our smoker that we were taking to Arizona so that we could smoke the turkey for thanksgiving. Our smoker as well as a box of onions and potatoes for my mother. It seems many of our trips have some sort of memory to help keep them sorted for us. Like the Christmas we headed home from Florida right after Thomas was born.......and our luggage got ran over. At least years later we are able to laugh at it!
