How happy I am to read of your love and support of each other. You are all so great and thoughtful! Love you all. . .xoxox mamaMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07441726001780654479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078862217060130570.post-62862525941212538292007-05-08T20:16:00.000-06:002007-05-08T20:16:00.000-06:00Well....Brad informed me of this decision last wee...Well....Brad informed me of this decision last week at Mom and Dad's, and he and I had a good chat about the opportunities ahead. I know too well from first hand experience what it feels like to be kicked around financially-it seems like I have been slugging it out for years with different employers....so I can understand in a smal way what he feels..that being said...Brad is one of the most brilliant people I know, and he has a lot of things in the fire, and I know it will work out ok...plus.....he is a Bishop in the Lord's kingdom, and I know that the Lord takes care of his Bishops....if it makes you feel any better....I have never been able to afford a lot of luxuries for my children..we just tell them to pretend a lot! Anyway....it will be OK...is worth it to be happy at work, and hopeully all your ladies who stay at home appreciate the wars your husbands go through EVERY DAY to make sure you and the children live comfortably...please remember that and let you husbands know how much you appreciate them.....You would probably be surprised how often men are put into situations that challenge their moral and ethical standards. I face it every day, and still find the courage to wake up the next day and go to war again....all I have to do is look at my childrens faces everyday and I am reminded of why I do it.....<BR/><BR/>You can do it Brad.....I believe in you.<BR/><BR/>DougRockStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984110034190440083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078862217060130570.post-57423238887669137902007-05-05T13:31:00.000-06:002007-05-05T13:31:00.000-06:00Well, I didn't win the car.

Mayabe someone else needed the car more,huh. It was sure a fun thing to think about! <BR/><BR/>It is freezing here in Heber AND snowing! I guess we need the moisture so I'm grateful.<BR/><BR/>Landon and Abby are both going to "El Cheapo" dance tonight. It works like this...The first person who asks you out plans the date. The other person has to pay for the date...no more than $20.07. Sounds fun and affordable doesn't it!<BR/><BR/>In response to you, Dallas, we've only told Landon and Abby about the changes with Brad's occupation. They were very nervous and unsure for a while at first, but we reassured them that we'd find the money for college, etc. and that the Lord would help us if we did all that we could for ourselves and show forth sacrifice and faith. The younger kids are puzzled why we can't go for our traditional "hamburger" every Thursday before clogging. They are also surprised that there's only 2 bags of groceries to put away!!<BR/><BR/>Jeni, I am so glad you made it to Germany safe and sound.<BR/><BR/>Love you all!firekrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431001961586545190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078862217060130570.post-78324448646544141852007-05-05T11:36:00.000-06:002007-05-05T11:36:00.000-06:00Hooray!

I think we should all check the blog first thing after we sit at our computers. It is just so great. We are excited for Brad and Carolyn too. We agree with all the rest that it is a great big leap of faith and determination, and if anyone can do it Brad can. With Carolyn as his cheerleader, he can leap tall buildings. Extra prayers and requests for blessings from all of us, right?

Is this going to be a total "solo op" for the time being, or are there plans for immediate recruits? Honestly, nothing but loads of respect regarding this decision. I'm confident, though, in you, in him, and your abilities to overcome. What an interesting time and recalling. I wonder how it appears/feels to the kids. Any words there? Love you guys. And congrats on the automobile! I'm going to start entering more contests!!!
