To Explain What Happened.

So on Thrusday Ty and I were at Kmart shopping for Easter things, When I get a call on my phone from Nic. All he says to me is "umm can you come get me?" I say oh no... sure I will be right there. So we left our basket of goodies (which Ty didn't like at all) and headed to Nic's work. So as I get closer I see he has his steel toe shoes in hand, with all his books from his desk. Oh no.. My heart sunk. Yes kids he was layed off. They said its because they are slowing down here, and have not picked up anymore work. There were some other reasons too which made it easier to say goodbye. It really was a blessing, but we were still in shock. Such a strange feeling... knowing that you no longer work for a company not by your own personal doing. So needless to say Nic was really bummed out all day. SO NOW WHAT DO WE DO. Was the question on our mind, and still is. (don't worry Kat & Steve we will be here until the end of April because our contract on our place ends then so you will still have a place to stay.) So the night went on thinking racking our brains wondering what we will do now. Stay here in Kauai or go back to Utah. So even though this is kinda early to say but it adds to the story. Well we found out that there is going to be another Little Clark. Yep nothing better lose your job, and find out you are prego all in the same day. Wow huh. We are very excited about the little one but still havn't set a for sure decision on what we are going to do with the next step in our lives. So I guess that answer is soon to come. WE have no doubt in our minds that the Lord is looking over us, and will help direct us in the right path we should take. We are thankful for trials for they only make you stronger. And yes things do always work out. Ty sure has loved having daddy home.. While Nic studies the words of the leaders of the church Ty loves sitting right next to him. Oh we really are blessed no matter what happens in our lives. It always has a positive out coming. As long as we do our part. Love you all and thanks for all your prayers so far.

Whoa, I am so sorry about Nic's job. I know everything will work out. I guess everything happens for a reason and you will find out that reason soon enough. I am so excited about the baby. Ty will be such a good big brother. It seems like God always sends a blessing in disguise when a trial comes our way. I found out I was pregnant with Hally and we were at a really hard time in our lives. No job, etc. I thought, why a baby? why now? Looking back, I think that she was the only happy thing that happened that year. Hang in there. I love ya so much! My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Oh, goodness that is not fun to not know what the next step is.
You have a great attitude, though. I am so excited for Ty to be a big brother, and for you to have a baby in the house again. We miss you guys. I am going to second whoever said to come back to Vegas.

Wow - What life throws our way sometimes! Congratulations on the baby - I'm thinking girl. But that's all I know so that's easy to do. Troy and I were in the same spot job wise just 4 months ago. What a devistating day that was. But it's amazing the blessings that came from it. Of course it took us a little whilte to see that, in the moment nothing could be worse. But doors really were opened that had not been there before. You both have great faith and you'll be guided to the next step. Call me anytime if you need a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on - it's okay. Love you guys, Audrey Clark
