Josh and I have been married for 14 years. We live a very simple life. We have struggled a ton in our marriage, and with money. But when it comes down to it we have fixed all of that on our own. We learned that the way to fix a marriage is to work on it, and not to give up.
Josh is my Best Friend, and has been for 17 years. We struggled through school for 10 years. We struggled with paying off debt becasue we were young parents and wanted to make it on our own. We never wanted to ask for help, if we couldn't do it on our own than it wasn't ment to happen.
That is what brings this post today. Lots of people know that I have wanted to move for a while. When Josh's parents said" hey we want to help you move", OH it sounded so darn good, and reachable. So we jumped. We have been looking at homes for a week. I think I have looked at every home between here and Farmington. The thing is, is that every home we have found except a few are beautiful homes, but I just haven't gotten the feeling that OH this is our home. That has been hard for me.
I got that feeling when we bought the home we are in.We love our simple little home. So after tons of prayers, and houses. I Finally got that feeling.
The feeling that Heidi you are a simple person. You have never wanted a huge house on the hill.
And you have never needed help getting things if they are ment to be. The fact is, is that we couldn't buy the house on the hill right now with out help. Help which means that it wouldn't ours.
Josh and I have a great relationship, we hardly ever fight, we tease, and maybe say a few words back and forth, but the other night Oh My Gosh we just got into the biggest fight. Thats when I started praying real hard. Is moving the right decision? So I started changing things in my prayers and I think I was being tested to see if I really understood. And I know that I got it!
We got into our home we are in on our own. We got our car on our own. Yeah we may pay a little more becasue we didn't get the best rates, but we did it on our own.
And one more thing that I came to realize, is that yes there a few people who have made my life hard, and made me wonder what type of person/parent I am, But there are so many more people who love me and my little family, who know the type of people we are, and don't make stupid judgments. I have lived my life in a way that there is no question of what type of person I am . I have a big heart, I am willfull, strict, it's my way or the highway, and don't mess with my kids, or my husband. I love to listen and try to help. I won't say that I never gossip, but I try my darndest not to. I always think about how I would feel if someone was gossiping about me.I believe that sums me up in a nut shell.
So my dear friends for now I am staying put.

You are one of the sweetest people we know for sure! We love ya! My advice is just to always be on the look out. It took us a year or more of shopping before we found our first house...because we waited we got a great deal that was affordable to us at the time...sometimes things don't always happen in the time frame we would like but if it's meant to happen, it will. Good Luck!!!
I think it's so exciting to see the growth that you've made in a few short weeks! You have taken HUGE steps and I hope that you can see the hand of the Lord in all of them. WOW - my dear - you are simply amazing! I'm glad you're staying put (for now!)
You have such a wonderful head on your shoulders.
Thanks for this!
