Life has Thrown Us Yet Another Curve Ball!!!

As many of you know, we had moved half of our house to Boise in storage and Mark had begun working there and living with my Mom about a month ago and we had plans to probably move up there over Easter. WRONG...Unbelievably, Mark was laid off of his position on Monday this week and he has moved back home. It was an extreme shock to us all, but they decided they needed to do budget cuts and since he was the last one hired, he was the first to go. We had terminated our insurance benefits in anticipation of his new benefits kicking in and I had given my resignation at work, etc so LIFE HAS BEEN NUTS this week. I have to say though that God is watching out for us as both of our insurance companies reinstated our insurance benefits due to the circumstances (thank goodness as Mark was not eligible for COBRA since he had not been there long enough) and I was able to rescind my resignation without problems at my work. We have sold our home to an amazing family that lives in our neighborhood already and are so thankful for that and that they will love our home as much as we have. With the new change in plans, they have decided to let us rent from them for a few more months to let the girls finish school and then we will move June 1st. We would still love to go to Boise, but the state of Idaho does not have an insurance plan like Utah does so due to my circumstances, we will need to stay in Utah for now. Mark has his business in Logan still and we are planning to go and live in Logan in June after the girls are out of school and rent and expand his business there. SO, we feel it is a win, win for everyone. We will still be close to all our great friends and family here in Salt Lake and we will be 2 hours closer to all my family in Boise as well. Continue to pray for us with all of this, but we are taking it a day at a time and getting through it.
