Have you heard?
The Bush's are moving (AGAIN???)
to California....
Fact or Fiction???
Sadly, I don't know...
Which, trust me, is VERY hard for me to say.
I am a planner, I like to know what I am doing in 5 minutes, tomorrow, next weeks, and next year. I live for websites like Cozi and Google Calendar and I drool over pretty notebooks that I can make lists in.
Just after Thanksgiving, Brady and I made some major changes in our lives. We moved to a new, smaller (read- cheaper) home. We changed schools, moved closer to my job and Brady left his job traveling to Denver to work for his sister. The decision- to put more emphasis on the family and our spirituality, and trust the Lord, that He will provide a way, if we have faith.
The last 5 months have been filled with miracles, testimony growth, incredible family time, and new opportunities. Incredible things have happened that when looked at individually just seem like every day events, but when seeing the whole picture, we can see the Lords hand in our lives.
It reminds me of the story of the people of Limhi, when they were slaves to the Lamanites. After all their trials and iniquity they finally decided to trust the Lord but he didn't answer their prayers for freedom over night. He gave them small blessings to test their faith. With each blessing, came more faith and more prayer, then a bigger blessing until they were freed from bondage.
It has felt that way for us, small blessing that lead to larger blessing, and one of these blessings and opportunities took Brady to California for a Digitial Cinema Training. While there he was asked about his experience as a trainer for Vantage, and was then asked to interview for the Digital Cinema Training Manager Position. This happened the last week of March. There have been 5 interviews, resumes and credentials emailed, and lots of waiting. And we are still waiting. We have been told (by VERY unofficial channels) that the intention is to offer Brady the position but there are some internal corporate issues to address first. This is a HUGE International Company with well over 3000 employees in offices around the world. So we are patient... Ok, not really but I am trying to be. Brady is patient. His patience and faith are amazing. Every time I complain about the wait or not being able to make plans, he says...
"It will happen, when and if the Lord wants it to, be patient"
So if/when we get the "official" offer, we will let every know. It will mean a move to the east side of Sacramento, California. Another new home, new neighborhood, new schools and new ward. In the mean time, I have faith, I try and have patience, and I hope that this is the great opportunity we see it as and that it is what the Lord has planned for us.





I hear ya Amanda! We've been through some very similar situations. And when you got the offer (thinking positively!) I have friends in the Sacramento area who are members of the church who can direct you to the safe areas, good schools, etc. Good luck with it all! Just let me know when and if you need info!! :~) Leslie
