We're Moving!


Yep, the rumors (if you've heard them) are true. We are indeed moving. We will be gone by the end of the month. It's a very bitter sweet feeling. We have absolutely loved our home, our neighbors, our ward, and are very sad to go, but at the same time it feels really good to be moving forward in life. As many of you know, we have had some major financial struggles for the past three and half years or so, including two business attempts, that through our best efforts have not worked out. But, we are happy to say that we are now...finally...on the uphill. We feel extremely grateful for all that we have learned through our trials, and are excited to continue to show the Lord that we will indeed apply what we have learned into our daily lives.

When we found out we would be moving soon, I was in a bit of a panic trying to find a place that we could call home. We truly feel that Heavenly Father directed our path because "coincidentally" enough, we have a friend that will be moving out of state for a few years and needs someone she can trust to take care of her cute home while she's gone, so we are getting a good deal on a 5 bedroom 3 bathroom home with a gigantic fenced-in backyard that I know Cody will LOVE. The "coincidence" part (which isn't a coincidence at all) comes because she is moving almost exactly when we need to move. We feel so incredibly blessed. We are so grateful for the guidance and direction, along with the peace and comfort we have received through everything.

To all my neighbors...we will miss you all very much. Thank you so much for the friendship you have shown us while we have lived here. I look forward to being able to continue to see the ladies of the neighborhood at play group. :)

I'll post some pictures of our new place once we get settled. :)

Wow! I'm sorry to hear you are having to move- I hate packing and all that comes with it. But that is wonderful that you have a place to go. Where are you headed to? We still need to get together soon and catch up!

Cody is going to love that yard. I hope you enjoy yard work too :) We'll miss you.

Moving is the thing to do lately! This is a great neighborhood that we are going to miss too. But so glad that you have been guided and blessed to find such a great place to live. Jealous of the back yard! Let us know if we can help out in any way! You are such great people and are going to be missed by everyone.

I'm sorry to hear that you are moving. I'm so out of the loop but there is no one to blame but me. Try to keep in touch...even if it's through blogging.
I've added you to my blogs to stalk. hope you don't mind.
