Life's 180

About six years ago our lives took a 360* turn. Tom and I both started new careers, we moved into our first home and were pregnant with our second child all within a few months.
Well, it must be that time again, because now our lives are doing a 180* The reason it's only half the turn is because our careers are not changing (at least as far as we know). Although I am finishing up my sixth year of teaching preschool next week, which is always a time of mixed emotions.
Also, we are moving. We don't know where, but hopefully not too far. However, house hunting has not been easy. The reason we wanted to move in the first place was to get into a more permanent home while rates were still low. However, when trying to find your "dream house" on a budget, it's not easy. And with preschool, the house has to accommodate that too. However, the selling part has not been a problem. When we listed our house about a week ago, within 24hrs we had a full price offer! Our fist thought was we listed too low, but considering our house is going for more than any other house in our neighborhood in the past year, that can't be it. Plus it needs a new roof, which we took into consideration too. And so far everything is going great with the buyers too. We have till the middle of June to Move which is nice.
The second big event is that Tom and I are expecting baby #4 in mid-December! We've been wanting to have this baby for a while now and hope to complete our family, but as with all our kids things sometimes take longer than planned. Still, we are happy with the success we've had and know there are a lot not as fortunate as us in the baby department. Although the past two months have been the most stressful months of my life, I've been feeling better than I did with any of my other pregnancies, so that's been nice. I haven't thrown up once, which is nice considering that was a daily occurrence with my other three.
So life is good, exciting, and busy. But I am always in awe at how blessed we are and how mindful our Heavenly Father is of our needs. He knows what's best for us and we need to rely on Him with faith. Even if it's not want we originally thought was best. I know He will help our family in finding the right place to live, even if it's hard right now to see that.
