We are blessed!

God is mysterious, and I truly believe that. But sometimes his ways are clear and paths are easy. Brad and I have been bouncing different ideas back and forth about what we should do about when to have kids, if we should move, how to space out our schooling, grad school, and me applying to be a hall advisor.

All of these things are constantly on my mind on a daily basis. So, once our land lady told us she was moving out I thought, "Oh no! Now what are we going to do? Will we still be able to rent from her, are we going to move out during finals...." She is moving out the 18th of April.

A few weeks ago the professor that I TA for, Sister Morgan, mentioned that Marrianne Kjar (an older widow in our ward) will be renting out her basement after the first of May. Yet, another option to consider.

So, I finally called her up. Her sweet voiced answered. I told her who I was and then she said, "Oh I heard all about you from Lisa, and what good renters you are! Yes, the apartment is still available to rent, and I would love to have you rent it." SCORE! I said, "Do you mind if I ask how much the rent is per month?" "It's $490 including all utilities and internet. And I pay you to mow my lawn." Double score considering we pay $650 a month now.

We're going to go look at it this week. I'm sure it will be great because her house is really beautiful on the outside. Brad and I are always being looked after by a loving Heavenly Father who sometimes works directly or indirectly to help his children through this life.
