The past few months...

I just wanted to update everyone on what has been happening in our life the past month and a half.
First the baby is doing great. We went in for my check up on the first of June and the doctor said everything looks fine with her and I am right were i need to be. Also i did the diabetes test and luckily my blood sugar was low and dont have it! I am going on my 29th week already. I cant believe how fast it is going! She will be here before we know it!
About a month ago Mike lost his job. The economy just got to hard for the shop to survive and they had to shut down. Right now we are not sure whether is will be permanent or not. It is kind of a bittersweet thing because Mike has always loved working with hid Dad and being able to see him everyday, but at the same time he is looking forward to a new start and knows that anything is possible right now.For some reason Mike and I were not scared that the shop went down, we both were comforted that everything would be okay and work out they way it should. I feel so blessed at the way things have turned out for us.Luckily Mike has been able to focus his time on Efusjon and try to build up his business where he wants it to be and hopefully in a few months he will be doing so well with it that he will be able to just do this full time. For right now he has accepted a job as a salesman for Winder Dairy which he starts next week. He is excited to start and we are hoping it will be a great job for him.
The week after Mike lost his job, we went on a family vacation to St. George to give us a little break from reality. One night Mike`s mom called us about 3:30 in the morning to let us know that his little sister Jessica was going to lose her twin boys. They were to heavy for her cervix and it had ripped. Because she was only 20 weeks along there was nothing they could do to save the babies. Jessica had them at about 6:00 that morning and they lived for about 40 minutes. Jessica and Jason gave them names and a blessing. They named them Mathew and Parker. That news was devastating to me because she was only six weeks behind me and it was very hard to think that i could lose my baby too. Jessica and Jason have been so strong throughout this whole thing and I know it is because they know that they will be able to see them again and raise them. They truly are stronger then i think i could ever be. I cant imagine how people are able to deal with things like that without the gospel in their lives.
We also found out that my sweet cousin Britney was diagnosed with leukemia. The symptoms of it came on very fast and she had to be in the hospital for about 4 weeks. Luckily her body has responded positively to all of the treatment and she was able to leave the hospital early and go home. Britney is such a strong and positive person and i know that is the reason that she is going to beat this. She had to shave her head a couple weeks ago and to be honest i was a little nervous to see her, but i saw her for the first time since she had done it on saturday and she does not act like anything is bothering her. Even though she was exausted and not feeling well she still had a smile on her face and a hug and something sweet to say about everyone. I love my Britney and i know that she will make it through this! She has such a support behind her, great family and friends!
Well that is what has been going on in my life the past month and a half. Some good and some bad, but i feel like with everything that has happened I could not be happier. I am so thankful for where i am in my life and the people that i surround myself with. I am also very thankful for my husband, we are a team and i dont think i would be as positive about all these things that have happened without his love and support!
