The Fields Family

                                                I love this quote! This is exactly how I feel. Have you ever tried soooo hard and wanted something so bad!? But every time you try it just gets harder!? Why is that?     Our family has had our fair share of struggles for sure, I have enough to share with all of you! I jokingly say that our family is cursed with bad luck...but I know every family has struggles and we are not unique in that way, we all have different struggles some bigger than others. I know we have struggles and afflictions to help us grow and learn and to help others when they are struggling so we know the best way to help them!      Derrick has been on the job hunt for quite some time, while being employed but not fully satisfied with the job he had before we moved.

Getting here was nothing short of a challenge...like pretty much everything our family tries to do, seems we always take the harder road, that's how you learn right!? At least that's how I like to think of it. The decision to move out here and start over was really hard we went back and forth with our decision, we had our worries and concerns for sure, but when you feel prompted by the spirit to do something even though it seems crazy and ridiculous you just do it! Things weren't exactly going the way we wanted them to in Joplin so we decided to take the leap of faith and move to Arizona my parents offered to let us stay with them while we settle in and figure life out...life is too short not To try new things and go new places. So we sold pretty much EVERYTHING fit the rest of our families belongings into a small trailer that we pulled behind our car, with no jobs in Arizona which was terrifying esp...
