-Jake's surgery: When we found out Jake had to have surgery we had no idea how we would pay for it. 3 months into our marriage we were supposed to pay for this surgery which could cost up to a few thousand dollars. Well he took care of it. The financial center at the hospital knocked off all but 50 dollars of our bill so all we had to pay was the deposit ($250) the $50 and the copays of his visits. What a blessing!
-SMART Grant: During our journey through school we received FAFSA which was a huge help but during our adventure to Logan money was a little more scarce but don't worry, He got it handled for us. Jake heard about this grant and someone told him to apply. Just because Jake was in a computer type major he got $2,000 a semester for 2 years. That is an extra $8,000!!! What a blessing!
-Oracle: Jake got the great internship 2 summers ago which gave us the excuse and expenses to live back in Utah county. He was making over 20 dollars an our as an intern. Which also helped his resume to get his job now.
-Countless Jobs: Jake decided to take a pay decrease last year to leave his dad's work to go to Emergency Essentials. Just a month ago he got his job at Ebix Exchange because of the work that he did at his old job. Also Jake's amazing job now that gives us AMAZING insurance, helping him work through school, and great people and pay. What more could you ask for!
-Being pregnant while student teaching: One of the only things they told us not to do while student teaching...yeah you guessed it. I am a rebel. A few months ago Jake and I decided it was time to start our family. Well who wants a student teacher who is throwing up all the time or not showing up due to sickness. Well I knew it was what we were supposed to do so we still decided to start our family. I never once threw up at school. I only threw up a total of 3 times while student teaching. I had the most amazing cooperating teacher and supervisor. I just prayed every morning that I would be okay.
-The many people who have helped us in other ways and you know who you are. How grateful we are to you for taking care of us! Love you all!
Just my testimony of Heavenly Father knowing exactly what we need and the many blessings that come from following what He wants of us and how he is also aware of our wants.

Oh man, that picture needs to be a little lower so we can see if you have a baby bump yet (ya right)haha. I guess I'm a rebel too, I was pregnant for my entire student teaching. I finished in December, and Alissa was born in January, I think it worked out pretty good :)
Oh Lynette you're so cute thinking you will have time on the side to do some thing after you have a baby. You guys are awesome, and I'm so sad I'm missing all your adventures.
You are so right, sis. The Lord watches over us and blesses us with exactly what we need when He thinks we need it. You guys have done so well and as a big sis, I have to tell you both how totally proud I am of you. Congratulations on taking on school, work, callings, marriage, and now this sweet baby. I love you both SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. And yes, do find something to do, even if it doesn't make you money. A mama needs a happy. Something that helps her fill her creativity cup. You'll figure it out, you always do!
