Yesterday was a really quiet day. Dale and I spent a little time together until the kids got home from school then we played with them.
Dale and I have been trying to figure out what to do about him not working so much over time but needing the money to get out of debt so we have been preying about a move to Pa. There is a job working at the prison out there that pays twice what he makes now without overtime and the cost of living is half what it is here. I was afraid to make the move considering the fact that we have a whole network of people out here that we can count on plus this is the longest we have ever lived anywhere and on top of it all I really love this area and really didn't want to move anywhere else, but after giving it to the lord and telling him that what he thinks is best for us is what we will do, Dale and I both got the same answer which was to go. Dale says it's not like we will be gone forever and that we can come back in like 5 years when we have saved enough money to buy a house and stay out of debt. I said fine but that I was still upset about having to leave this place. I know that the lord only takes us to where he thinks we need to be and maybe there is something or someone up there that is in need of us. I'm not sure but I do know that the last time I didn't do as the lord asked bad things happened. I don't want another repeat of that. So I will go and do as he has asked and see where it takes us. We are not sure as to when we are going to move but Dale is thinking sometime before the end of the year. That seems a little soon for me but it is out of my hands now.
Anyway, today I cleaned the house from top to bottom then I got a visit from Danielle and Shelby. They had been in Nashville because Shelby has therapy on Tuesdays. Anyway they got done early and didn't have anything else to do so they came over to visit. Danielle and I talked while Elyssa and Shelby played. Oh ya I had to keep Elyssa home today because she wasn't feeling well yesterday and she had a slight fever this morning. Meanwhile Dale used Danielle's truck to take out all the trash that has been building up since she moved away. Then I gave Danielle a pedicure and filled her nails for her. They stayed until about 3:30 then had to leave to go and pick up Danielle's other daughter Jessica from her after school program. Then I made dinner and we read our scriptures and we put the kids to bed. Now I am blogging and Dale is getting ready for work.
Well I guess that is all for today. Blog at you later.
I started to cry when I read this post. I have grown very close to your family. You have been a blessing in my life. I hope that you know that. I hope that there is a great ward there in Pa that needs the help that you can give them. They are lucky to be gaining you. We will miss you but I will keep in contact with you and hope to be able to see you again when life is better for you. It is always best to follow what the Lord says even if it is hard for us to do.
