I hope somebody's laughing

Last Thursday and Friday threw me for a bit of a loop. At the end of Friday I felt like laughing thinking of Heavenly Father and how sometimes it seems he has a sense of humor. Within those two days I:

-found out I was pregnant with baby #3. This is very exciting news and something we have been hoping for for a while. However, the irony is that this one month we were consciously avoiding getting pregnant because I didn't want to be sick while in Switzerland and the timing would be the absolute worst for our once-in-a-lifetime trip. So that threw me for a loop, as well as the reality sinking in of having three children. It is going to be pretty crazy.

- signed all the papers and officially became an aerobics instructor who gets paid to exercise. That was also pretty exciting and overwhelming too. There is a lot to do before we leave on our trip with orientations, CPR certification, and getting ready for the group fitness certification exam.

- Had a little pity party as I went to a friend's beautiful new home with tons of room and room to grow, then saw another friend's hopeful houses to move into which were all just incredibly gorgeous with huge yards, then found out from another friend that her husband got a job with a great starting salary and benefits and they are starting out a new life in a great place with a super cheap housing market and no student loans. This was all within a few hours and I couldn't help but wondering when our opportunity was going to come to get out of our two bedroom townhome and in a better situation for our family.

- Then found out the next day that the odds of moving down to Phoenix are practically in the bag and that the attorney down there wants Ty to start working October 1st...just weeks away, and when we are in Switzerland. Ty is really excited about the opportunity and went to Phoenix today to meet with a bunch of attorneys and see his new office. It isn't official, but pretty close to it and will most likely be a quick move.

It was all a lot to handle and my emotions were all over the place, but I really think things happen for a reason and I am grateful for change and the way it helps me to grow. I think the Lord has some great things in store for us and I hope that trusting in him will help me not have a panic attack!
