New job
Life has just gotten a little easier. CHAD GOT A JOB!!! He is going to be working at a trouble youth facility in Enoch! Our bishop is the boss, and I think Chad will do VERY well there. The best part is he will be able to work with this job next semester for school! It is going to be very nice. We want to try to work it out so that he works weekends and swing shifts this summer, then I can continue to work and we can maybe save some money, not just pay our bills. :0 what a thought. ;)

Life and tender mercies
The Huntsman house has been good.
Braxton is doing great. We almost having the potting training thing down. He will not poop in the potty? I hear this is normal, but I it does not make it any easier. He is also really strugging with bounderies. He wants to big. He has some friends in the ward that show up at the house and ask him to play. I have not problems with this, in fact I love that he has friends, I am not OK with him just going where ever. I have to be outside with him, or I have to know he is being watched by another mom. Is this over protective?
Micheal Micheal is still so sweet. He has the kindest heart. I pray it is a quality that lasts for life. He is getting so smart, and can get into just about anything, no matter whats in his way. He is a mommies boy, with no protests from me, and would rather sit by mom or on mom than anyone else. He is always willing to give kisses and hugs, and loves to be helpful. I am worried how little man will adjust when number three comes but...we will just have to wait and see.
Chad is good. Still searching for a job. But let me tell you he is trying hard. I know he stresses not having a job, and I KNOW he would rather be working than home playing Mr. MOM. However the boys have had fun having him around more.
I am good. I am working more until Chad finds something for a job so I am at work 4 days a week. I know it is not much but it wears me out. My lower back is still giving me so real issues and have yet to find a solution? It's OK though. We are 23 weeks, getting fat, and trying not TO stress about that. The tender Mercies part of this blog is from me, and the idea is borrowed by my sweet cousin Mickey. I doubt I will be good enough to update every week like she does but this specific experience deserves sharing.
Because we are on only one income we are slightly strapped for money. I know I know, whats new right. Preaching to the choir, who is not strapped for money right now? Anyway, yesterday at work I had a slight melt down. I know hard to believe that I would do something like that but;) I have a certain amount of money I have to earn each shift and it was not going to happen yesterday. I spazzed. Called Chad crying and complaining and my great husband said what to often comes out of his mouth "Katy, did we pay our tithing?" "YES" "Are we living the way the Lord would ask?" "YES" "Then why are you stressing?" "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR". I know he is right and we have had proof more times than I could ever tell. But it always seem to be a lesson I am learning, to rely on the Lord and remember it is HIS WILL ans HIS TIMING, not mine.
I got a table and went out to serve them the best I could. My next table was a sweet older couple I had served before. After visiting for a moment my customer mentioned his High Council members faithfulness and inturn informed me they were LDS. We talked and the coversation went to their story, one that is common today. They had a lot and were doing well, then the economy hit and they lost almost everything. Including their business, their cars and almost their home. But this brother turned to me and said in almost the exact same wording, what I had heard from my AMAZING hubby not ten minutes earlier. Of course the tears started and I apologized to the couple telling them that my hormones for my pregnancy were crazy. But the spirit was undeniable.
The Lord is incredible. In the middle of an IHOP in Cedar City, He choose to show me a tender mercy. He has such patients. The same lesson as many times as it takes to learn it. Maybe this time will do the trick? I am grateful for faithful members of our church who will listen to the promptings of the spirit. I am grateful for our Savior and His plan, and for the tender ways he chooses to teach us!!! And most of all today I am grateful for my amazing hubby who never seems to get angry or frustrated with my growing testimony. He is truly an amazing man, and has a spirit and faith, that I can rely on and grow from. I love you Chad.
OK so this is long sorry. Love you all. KATY
