I was talking with a friend the other day who is in a predicament. She is extremely baby hungry and wants to be pregnant really bad, but is in a very intensive 4 year program of which she just finished her first year. She was asking about our situation and how we were able to pull off being able to go to school with a baby and Daniel still being able to work, and talking to her made me realize that I neglected the most important factor of my being in school.
Before Daniel and I got married he was looking for a job in Salt Lake for that summer. With almost no experience and limited knowledge in the computer science field he was able to get his "dream job". Without this job (flexible hours, benefits at 20 hours a week, good pay, and working with Daniel to help me through school) I would not be in school and I fully believe that Heavenly Father had a plan for us and it included me being able to follow my dreams, and that is why Daniel happened upon the job he did at the time he did.
I know that God is leading our lives, even though I almost never see it until I look back. He has been there 100% since we got married and before, and I know he will continue to be here with us as we keep chugging through.

Kim, I totally know what you mean about going to school and being a mom. It is such a bittersweet thing. I have learned to put my total 100% trust in the Lord! Once i did that (even though there were plenty of stressful moments about how we were going to make this happen with finding sitters and paying for everything) the Lord has made everything work out just how it should have. I guess when you are trying to be a faithful wife and mother, the Lord finds ways to bless our own lives even more by letting us do what we want to do. It's a wonderful life, that all I can say!!
