Ok....Here it goes.
The last couple years haven't gone as planned. Levi graduated from BYUH and we moved home hoping he would find a great job, we'd live with family for a couple months, buy a house, and settle down. HAHA. Yeah didn't happen. Job market sucked....wait still does for most. We still have no home, we lived with family for 2 years, 2 very GRATEFUL, repeat and underlined (I would actually underline it but I'm not that Html savvy) GRATEFUL years. It took Levi months before he had a job, keep in mind we had a newborn arrive a little over a month after we graduated. Levi did try and sell insurance from home and tried government bidding as well. Levi got a job in August as a salesman selling printers...that didn't last long it was torture. He HATED it, not the kind of job you would expect to have after completing a bachelors degree. So he then started working with a friend at Primary Care Northwest they noticed his talent and professionalism with business and he quickly became Assistant manager over the whole office. The largest private practice in Tacoma, mind you, yes I am bragging. In Februaryish Levi and Brad (B-in-law) were talking and Levi wanted to speak to someone he knew who sold Alarm systems. We've heard about it and have wanted to do it before. After speaking to this manager of Vivint Levi became very interested and made a trip out to Utah to check it out more. Oh yeah and Levi had already taken the LSAT and we were waiting to hear back from applied colleges. We decided we would sell alarms/home automation with Vivint for the summer and decided while we were out where Levi would go to school. Throughout all this in the back of our minds wondering if Levi would get into any Law schools. Turns out he only got wait listed for like 5 or so of the schools. Levi joked about not getting into any of them and that if that were the case his prayers would be answered. The Lord has had a unique way of answering prayers for our family and turns out this is the only thing that the Lord hasn't said Hey....this isn't going to work, or Nope not this try again. So for right now we are not going to law school. Perhaps in the future but who knows? This is what we are doing, selling with Vivint. Levi is really impressed with the company and where its going. Levi wants to manage next year and we found out that if he does we can live in AZ and so we are wanting to move there this fall and most likely will. I am excited for him but really excited to have my husband all year long. He will be working and recruiting for his team but he will be home and that is an answered prayer. He has wanted to work from home and call the shots.
My Dad always says "Life is what happens when your making plans," Seems like the motto around here. Whenever we are making plans it's never what ends up happening no matter how much planning is done.
Anyways.....life is going good, we've made some great friends, and were having lots of fun. As much as we love family we are really enjoying being away and secluded. We've been able to spend some quality time together and it has been so good for us. We are in Rapid City, South Dakota right now and it is breath taking out here. Can't wait to see Mount Rushmore! I'm throwing some pics in this and then we are all off to the mall with the girls!

Life definitely can be crazy and unexpected! Glad you guys are doing well, and glad to hear about a move to AZ. Enjoy your summer and your two adorable little ones!
Life never has a plan! I can conquer!
so i was thinking as i looked at your pictures how ironic it is that pictures used to look like that, back in the day, and we loved that they changed, became brighter and clearer, and now we like making them look like old photos. kinda like fashion too. TMI?lol
