our new life... in Utah!

the girls enjoying the snow!... there is a sled under there somwhere

 We made it!!!!  We live in Utah, although it has been over a month, it's still hard to believe.  Well, in some ways, it seems crazy, but then again there's the feeling that we are settling into life for the first time in a long while.  We love the life/adventure/mission the Lord is setting out before us here. 
Almost 2 months ago we drove to Utah with our life packed into a moving truck with no place to stay, no job and just the Lord's leading to hold onto.  
We were about 30 minutes from our destination (Salt Lake City) when the Lord provided a place for us to stay for the first few weeks.  An awesome couple lent us their basement until we found another place to stay.

In that first few weeks we got used to the snow, lived out of our backpacks, and waited for the Lord to provide.  

our new place!

Just like He always does (in His timing, not ours) the Lord provides.  I (cory) got a job at a local nursery called Cactus & Tropicals working with plants ;)  But we still needed a place to live. After searching and searching in vain for a house to rent, we thought our only option would have to be to rent an apartment (not fun for a family with six kids!).  But the Lord had something else for us!  Out of the blue, a house for rent popped up that we could qualify for!  Not only that, but it was walking distance from work!

So, as we are adjusting to life here, we are starting to connect with a few families from a few different churches and groups.  But most importantly, we are waiting on the Lord to guide us into His purpose for us here.  After everything that He has been doing on this journey so far... I think we can trust Him for that
