ONE YEAR AND COUNTING!

Today is our one year mark. Can you believe that one year ago today we were driving in our loaded car on our way to the "unknown" of Arizona?
I remember somewhere between SLC and Phoenix,

looking back at my two children,

and my bulging tummy and thinking, "I HOPE I KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING!!! I AM TAKING MY PRECIOUS FAMILY AWAY FROM EVERYTHING THEY HAVE EVER KNOW, I AM TAKING MYSELF AWAY FROM MY COMFORTS! WHAT AM I DOING?!"

Looking back at our year here in Arizona I can honestly say that it has been the best decision Jake and I have EVER made since being married. We feel super blessed to have this experience. We feel like we were carefully guided to exactly where we are right now. Our move was not perfectly orchestrated by us (it was pretty crazy and extremely stressful!) but it was PERFECTLY orchestrated by the LORD. He put us where we would grow the most, I could tell you story after story of why and how, and who the LORD has put in our path and for what reasons. It has truly been such a blessing and such a testimony builder on having pure Faith that the LORD knows each and everyone of us and he finely orchestrates a beautiful symphony of our life if we can have the Faith. I know we are meant to be here, there have been so many miracles, tender mercies and experiences that we needed to learn, and be apart of.
This has been the most busiest year and in some ways the most challenging year, but it's also been the BEST year of our life. We have really enjoyed the adventure and hope there are many more adventures to come. This is truly the happiest we have ever been.
