conference weekend did not disappoint, once agian!
brianna, briar, jessica and greg came and stayed with us.
we went up to park city and rode the alpine slide.
we watched conference (duh)
squished in the back seat.
tyler, enjoying our new couches!
yep, new couches, and we flipped the entire room around.
i dont know why we didnt do this before..
this next photo needs some explaining...
so, as some may know, i do not have any maternity insurance...health insurance has been a huge stressor for us the past year..trying to get it, affordably, and trying to be creative with the baby and all.. anyways, its been alot of work, but we've managed to pay on a few different supplemental insurance plans for the last year or so. its been a huge stretch for us, financially. and knowing that we are going to foot the entire bill for the doctors visits and all the labor and delivery bill is daunting..with the hopes that we jumped through all the right hoops for our supplemental plans pay out. its been stressful. but, we've just had faith, that if we did all that we could, (pay tithing even when its so hard!) that things would work out....
on friday, while driving to the temple to take some family photos, my dad called me and told me some amazing news: that i was officially on his insurance as of Nov. 1st. NOVEMBER FIRST. did you know i'm due NOVEMBER 22?! maternity insurance in my last weeks of pregnancy...it is unbelievable. it is a miracle. literally.
i had to pull over, i was crying and just thanking my dad, and of course just praying like crazy, thanking my Heavenly Father. there are few times in my life when i have felt more watched out for, more taken care of. i felt just, the strongest...presence of my Savior in that moment, like he was wrapping me in a hug, telling me that everything was going to be fine, in fact, better then fine. that He loves me.
it is overwhelming to know that we have a $500 deductible. five hundred dollars...not 8k dollars coming out of our savings. and...that we are going to put into our savings money at the end of all of this....
it makes me think that we need to really pray about what we;re supposed to do with that money, (food storage being at the top of my list),... i know this isnt happening for no reason!
i also know that this isnt fate, or karma or luck, or anything of the sort. it is a miracle!
and then i ended up at the temple! it was perfect.
on a lighter note...how about an awesome belly pic?! haha
watching conference on sunday after everyone had left. it was peaceful, just the three of us.
(maybe a little too peaceful for tyler in his new giant chair...zzzzzz)
anyways, tyler has more pictures of all the fun we had on saturday, and a really super cute movie of lyn coming down the alpine slide! i;ll post them another day :)

Isn't it the best when you just have those moments of realization that the Lord has a plan for you and that He is watching out for you?? We've had a few of those lately and it just makes me feel so safe and at peace about whatever happens. :) P.S. you look AWESOME for being 8 months pregnant!!!
