We moved!!!

After a long and crazy 16 months I finally can report that we have "moved" to Arizona. Despite the fact that I have been here more than a year and Derek for 10 months, for the first time we have a place to call our own. We are renting a cute little house with plenty of space inside, including 4 bedrooms and a playroom. We are missing the yard we would like for the kids, but when you rent you can give a little. While we are overwhelmingly grateful to my mother for allowing not only her child, but an entire family of 6 to live with her so long, it is a relief to be on our own again. We are still unpacking odds an ends but we have already filled up so much of this space. I am not sure how we survived before. I know it is only through my Heavenly Father and I can not forget how much comfort we have recieved as we have waited for this trial to somehow be at an end. While life isn't perfect yet, it is amazing and I have so many things to be grateful for!
