The student life...

When we made the choice to come down here to BYU we knew it wasn't going to be easy. Taylor is super busy with school and all that goes with it, not to mention the busyness of raising 4 kids. One thing he will say to me when he has to stay late or go back to school to write a test is to "think Hawaii". Well one day we were discussing our food budget and I said to him to just "think yogurt". Yup, that's how poor we are, yogurt has become our luxury. It's funny how your perspective can change through life experiences. We really don't mind not having the extra money, we have learned so much from it. We have learned to budget, we have been better able to discern our needs from our wants and most importantly we have been able to put our trust fully in the Lord and witness his great miracles. We definitely have those days where we wonder how we are going to make it, but we honestly can say that we are loving the whole student experience and the lessons we are learning along the way.
