Back to Reality

My name is Allee and I used to be a blogger.  Since LIFE has taken over and sent us on a roller coaster, my life has seemed in shambles without the option to get off. I am finally learning to just throw my hands up in the air and scream.  Yaaahhhoooooooooo, I AM ENJOYING MY RIDE!!!!

 

The last few months have been a whirlwind of trials and tender mercies.  Beginning when Brandon lost his job (We hate Wells Fargo.  Not the people so much, although we don't like some of them either, but the company and their ethics.) in August which made us decide to move in with my parents.  It started out as a temporary thing, we were sure Brandon had a job in the valley that would start within weeks.  It is obvious, as many people have spotted Brandon working (or rather visiting) in Ed's and me spending a few hours at Shevells, that phone call never came.  Brandon has turned in so many applications that you would think he would have gotten atleast a decent job offer, but no such luck. That's when the winds of change hastened an email from BYU Provo accepting Brandon for the Winter Semester starting in January 2013.  I had already made up my mind that I was NOT moving that far away and he would just have to tell them no.  On the other hand, Brandon had already made up his mind that he wanted nothing more than to be a BYU Cougar. 

 

I am so thankful for the tender mercies that have brought us to this point.  My mom and dad who have provided us a place to live (and too many things to bottle), the turds at Wells Fargo for making us go out of our comfort zone, the Reidheads for storing all out stuff while we waited for the nonexistant "phone call", those who have provided jobs for us, and the unwelcome email from BYU that has turned into our hopeful and exciting future.
