Ch-ch-ch changes!

They say that change is a good thing. I know that is true, and I usually welcome change, but there must be some kind of quota on how much change is tolerable.  Here are the changes in our world:

Our old House:
So way back in January we felt impressed to put our house on the market with no defined plan.  It turned out the Lord was helping prepare us for our new adventure (see below.)  One of my biggest concerns, however,  with the "wing and a prayer" plan, was that I was concerned we would have to move, right when the baby was to be born (see below, below.)

Our New Job:
Royal and I accepted a job working for a girls school in Erda (where?), which is north of Tooele.  We have become house parents for 10 teenage girls in a beautiful home, and helping them make it in this world.  It was a long, prayerful decision, but we ultimately felt guided to it, as it has been the answer to many of our other prayers.  We moved in on June 16th, and started work 2 days later.


Our New Girl:

After working for a whole week, our sweet baby girl, Millie, was born 2 1/2 weeks early.  She came home to a house of sick family members and disorganized boxes.  Gratefully, she is practically the best baby in the whole world (did I mention she is already sleeping 6+ hours each night?) and has made the transition so much easier.  And in case no one has told you yet. . .3 is hard!  As a mom, I feel needed in 3 different ways by 3 different kiddos.

It has taken me a while to balance the job/kids/baby/mixed up schedule, but there are parts that are getting easier.   I will check in with ya'll as the months go by, but just wanted to share what's been happening in our world.  And I am hoping we don't get any more big changes for a while.
