In September we went up north to visit Alan's brother Norman. We love going up north when we get a chance and we hadn't been to their lovely home in awhile so we spent the weekend with them.
While we were up there Norm took us up Provo Canyon to the waterfalls. It was so pretty and just starting to get chilly...well chilly for us. haha. I'd never done the hike or seen the waterfalls from anywhere closer than the car so it was really fun.
Our little family.
Norm with Madison and 4 of his 5 kids. Thanks Norm and Taunya for letting us crash with you guys for the weekend!
Also, in September, Alan and I had a huge blessing granted to us. We had been trying to figure out for over a year how we were going to get out of our condo and into something bigger to accommodate our growing family. It seemed like everything we tried just wasn't working and it was very frustrating. There was no way that we could sale it and with the new housing laws renting it out seemed impossible too. We'd kind of started to give up and just accept the fact that we would have to stay there for a few more years until the market corrected itself, when Alan talked to a friend of his who had recently moved away from St. George. They had kept their house down here and just planned on using it to come home once or twice a month. Well Alan's friend was venting to him about how they weren't going to come down as much as they thought and the maintenance on it was just too much. He joked with Alan about us renting from them. Well, long story short, we moved in two weeks later and are renting our condo out. It's a hugely long story and if anyone wants to hear it all I'd be happy to tell you, but all I need to remember from it is that our blessings are seriously always answered. It may not be the way we think it will be or when we want it to be, but the Lord has a plan for us and knows best. That is something I know is true and that has been shown to me more times than I can count in our marriage.
