“The home is the great laboratory of love. There the raw chemicals of selfishness and greed are melded in the crucible of cooperation to yield compassionate concern and love one for another. (See Mosiah 4:14–15; D&C 68:25–31.)” -Elder Russell M. Nelson

Not going down without a fight.
So major update. We have been trying to get the 10,000 dollars back we put down on the house last week. Legally we should be able to get it but Silver Ridge is avoiding us. So what are we doing? We are getting a lawyer and getting ready to fight. I am not a fighter by nature but when I see injustice of any kind it get my dander up as my mom says. So after we went to the title company and they told us what paperwork they needed we tried to give Silver Ridge the benefit of the doubt but after not getting any start answering or even any answers at all we decided it was time for the gloves to come off. We have all the paper work and have an appoint with a lawyer on Monday. I will tell you all I do not really like lawyers except for the honest ones, my brother Jonah wants to be one of those. But i know that there is a time and a place to fight and it is right now. I will not let all of the hard work that Eric has put into this be for nought just because some greedy builder is unwilling to admit when they are wrong and give us back our money. So keep us in your prayers that we will be able to stand strong in the face of this adversity.

Life is full of surprises
So this past few days have been chalk full of decision and actions. First last Friday we went up to Utah to spend the week-end with my family. It was wonderful. My parents and my brothers have been so helpful and supportive with everything. Eric was able to make some progress with getting on with Barrick (cross your finger this is what he really wants). I also have been able to get my job back at This is the Place Heritage Park for the summer, which means we also decided that at the end of April we are going back to Utah for at least the summer. The other big thing is we had our pre-natal ultrasound today. We are about five and half weeks pregnant, which is a lot of fun. Mostly because we say the heartbeat. Also it looks like our first baby will be sharing a birthday day month with my mom and a dear little friend of ours, (you know who you are). Finally I quit my job with the library and am spending all of my time with Eric picking and organizing for the move. We have four weeks but we want to make every minute count since we are moving back to Magna for the summer and putting most of our stuff in storage. We know this is the best way to go for the Lord confirmed it to us while we were in the temple last Friday with my dad.
So in the end while we still don't have all the answers we do have a game plan and are starting to get things in order. We are putting our trust in the Lord and are so grateful for all of the support we have had and know we will continue to have from our friends and family. Don't worry more baby updates will be coming as we get them. Keep smiling and know that no matter what challenges we face we are smiling while facing them too.
