Life.....So unpredictable!!!

I am going to start with what is going on with CBK trucking. (Our trucking business).  We have 2 employees, Woody's father and his uncle.  They live with us, and haul rock. We have had a third truck sitting dormant for months, along with a crude trailer.  Just sitting. Making nothing. Well, we were supposed to have a contract with the company Woody works for, but they put the kabosh on new contracts for the time being.  So, we have been diligently looking for another place to lease on to.  It finally happened!! YAY!!  A guy Woody knows through his current job offered to lease us on...Just in time for our truck to start doing crazy things like shooting flames out of the stack...In the words of one of our friends, "I'm no mechanic, but that can't be good!" So, now we are borrowing a truck so that Woody can haul crude.  What does this mean?  It means giving up a sure income, health insurance, (for now), having my sweetheart home at a decent hour, and several other things. So, why are we doing it?? Because it is the answer to our long term goals.  Short term, it actually kinda stinks....But Woody is basically stuck in a dead end job..Going nowhere, and not happy!  We prayed, fasted, prayed some more, fasted even more, and know that for whatever reason, this is the way to accomplish what we feel we need to for our family!

Now onto the other stuff!  I am starting an in-home daycare.  I already have the kids, just gotta get my licensing done. (Kinda doing it backwards, huh?)  But, when I called Social Services to find out what I need to do today, the lady SERIOUSLY seemed ecstatic that I was looking into doing it.  That has to be a good sign, right??  I want to help get some stuff paid for, but am not willing (or able, due to a lack of childcare in my area) to send my kids off.  I will still homeschool, and have already ordered my newest books. (Blayke's kindergarten, and C's next level.)  Will it be hard? Oh, probably. But it will be worth it.  I am also ordering stuff in 1.5 weeks to get my personal training certification, which I have already mentioned! However, I have started training a friend, and have decided to also get a nutrition coach certification.  I have never been good at anything. Never had a passion for anything.  I feel like, other than being a Mom, this is my "thing"! I am thrilled to learn, grow and become certified!!!

The last thing is that recently, our ward split, and Woody got called to be the 1st Counselor in the Young Men's presidency.  I was blessed enough to get my same calling, and get to continue teaching the 5 year-old class. I LOVE IT!  I am sooo thrilled for my husband. I know that it will be interesting, with all the time we will be putting into everything.

I am thankful for all of the WONDERFUL people in my life who are supporting my husband and I in our goals. I am thankful for the opportunity to get on my knees, and empty my worries, give my thanks, and just talk to my Heavenly Father. I am thankful for all of the wonderful opportunities Watford City has given my family, the growth that has happened here!  I love my life. I love my Family. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior.  I am so blessed!
