Do April snow showers bring May flowers?

So.... today I woke up to THIS!!!!




What in the world? A foot of snow in the middle of April isn't really too fun for me. This morning I drove past a few neighbors houses with broken trees because the snow was so heavy.... and to think that a few days ago they were all starting to get blossoms on them :(
Gladly it has mostly melted.



For those of you who don't know, Brett was diagnosed with depression a couple of months ago. It has been a hard thing for him and for us but he is taking the right steps to help him be happier. He started on a medication which at first didn't work but then after the doctor doubled the dosage, he is finally starting to notice small changes. I am proud of him for the effort that he gives in trying to better himself.

He has a couple of business things that he has been doing on the side but none that give us any extra income at the moment unfortunately... so after talking about it last night, we decided that he would try to get a part time job so that we can move next month into a small house and rent it. Last night I was feeling very overwhelmed and stressed and I said a prayer. The first prayer I have said in a while. And afterwards, i felt relieved and then I fell asleep.
So this morning he started his search. Within an hour he had a few places that he was going to go and check out. The first one he went to was a company in Pleasant Grove called Cultural Hall. They print LDS pictures and frame them to sell in stores and at road shows.
They gave him tour of the place and offered him the job... so he starts tomorrow. He will be working in thier warehouse- helping them print and frame and package. It is such a blessing right now. I feel really good. Most of you have probably seen the artwork at Costco. We actually bought a picture from them for Dale and Debbie for Christmas last year. They are beautiful!




Other then that, there is nothing else going on in our lives. We are enjoying being back in church and I am enjoying not being too busy at work. Last week was our big shipping week so this week has simmered down quite a bit.

That's awesome that he found a job so quickly! Glad things are looking up slowly but surely! So are you guys not buying the townhome anymore? We are still looking and house hunting sucks!
