Blessed!


Garett and I have felt very blessed these past few months. The first of November Gar lost his job due to the economy-now i know what you are thinking....that is not a blessing, but it ended up kind of being one. It was hard and for awhile there I was working full time at the bank, working in a salon on Saturdays, and doing hair some nights during the week. Before gar had lost his job we thought we were 'tight' on money, and no we weren't rolling in the $$$$ but were fine although we didn't think so at the time. Well after he lost his job it helped us realize how much we really do have and just how we were kind of wasting our money before. The past few months we've made it work with what we have and it has taught us how to better save our money and get by with the necessities mostly. We were so watched over by our heavenly father and we really were just fine. We are so thankful for all that both Garett's family and my family has done to help us out during this time and getting our house insulated. Getting our house insulated has made a huge change in our home and will defiantly change our bill :) so thank you so much!!!! Garett now has found a new job called Thrive. We owe a lot of thanks to his best friend Brandon Blackwell that helped him find the job and get into it, thanks Brandon and Kylie!! :)

Oh we love you guys. We know how crazy life can get too. Throw a baby in the mix, it makes it really interesting. Oh but I wouldn't change those hard times for anything. Brandon and I grew together so much and found a lot of strength in one another. I am sure you and Gar feel the same way. WE LOVE you two. Glad things are working out better!
