Finally...an answer.

Alright...sorry to have left my blog in such a "Debbie Downer" mood. Wow. SO much has been happening in our lives for the last week and a half. By the picture at the top...I guess that sums up what we are doing. We are moving.

Today we got the phone call. The one that we have been waiting for all week. We knew that whatever the decision was, it would change our lives. Josh's job down here has been getting more and more unstable as the months have gone on. We put his resume out and last weekend made an unexpected quick trip up to Salt Lake for interviews. We spent this week in limbo. Will we land a job? Will we have to get creative with jobs until we find one? Will we have a job here long enough to find another one? The questions went on and on.

I look at the timing of all of this and know we have been blessed. School is out next week. There is no need to put Maddie and Hayden into a new school mid year. They will start school in a new class with new kids but will have a summer to make friends and get comfortable before that starts. We also have been able to keep a job while looking for another one. In this economy, this in and of itself is a luxury. So many lose a job and have to scramble to find another one.

The jobs that Josh interviewed for were both extremely competitive. Both employers said they were shocked at the number of applicants, extremely qualified applicants, they had to choose from.

We are so sad to be leaving "home". We absolutely LOVE living down here. We have met incredible people and so many have become close friends. Friends we want to have for a lifetime. I remember bawling my eyes out as we moved from our first home and I know I will do it again this time. I wish we could just leave things the way they are but at the same time we are so lucky and blessed to have a new job opportunity and a new adventure for our family.

Thank you so much to all of you for your comments and phone calls. I know I had left it pretty open but with a public blog and the fact that we hadn't said anything to Josh's current employer I thought it was best to be careful.

Now I have to go scouring the city for boxes. Ahh the joys of moving....YUCK!
