We made it!

My sweet family and I are in Ohio! The move went great! We couldn't have done it without the help of our family. We seriously have the best friends and family ever! I don't know what we would do without them and we are going to miss them like CRAZY!! They helped us clean and pack and drive across the country! So thanks again everyone that helped!! I just wanted to share one of our experiences that we had right after we arrived at our new home. It will shape the rest of our experiences while we are here. 
 It was a humbling reminder from our Heavenly Father that He is watching over us. Jake and I were out with the family getting some things done to get the girls and I in the military system. Jake had a binder that held ALL of our information; birth certificates, passports, drivers license, social security cards, military orders, and more.  After we finished putting us in the system, we drive home and realize that we don't know where the binder was! It had been left on the top of the car and had fallen off somewhere on our way home! We were both instantly terrified of the thought of someone with all of our information. Dread and panic set in and we were both near to tears. Our family knelt down and pleaded with our Heavenly Father that He would help us find the binder and that it would be protected from dishonest men. I stayed home with the girls and Jake went back out to retrace our steps. When he got to the entrance of the base, he saw our binder in the middle of the road. Just as he was pulling up to get it, someone else was pulling over to pick it up. Jake had found the binder! We were so blessed! Someone could have picked up the binder before he got there and we could have easily not found it. It was a reminder that we need to rely on the guidance of our Father in Heaven and to attribute our successes to Him. We would be nothing without Him. We are so grateful to be blessed with His guidance and His blessings! We can't wait to see what is in store for our little family!! Here's to a wonderful start in Ohio!

  1. So glad you all made it there safe. Such an awful feeling to loose such precious information but I bet you both let out a big sigh of relief when you found it. And as awful as it was it made you stronger :)
