Well, it's no secret...we moved to Idaho. Idaho Falls to be exact.
The first of the year there was an idea that we might move here but it wasn't until May when we got the final word that we would.
James bid on a practice here in IF to take over an Ameriprise Financial office...
and turns out the sellers liked James and gave him the practice.
We had a few months to find a place to live, find renters for our home, pack and move.
Needless to say it was CRAZY!
James was gone a lot with work already.
He also had races
scout camps
and a family camp out.
The week before we moved we experienced ...
3 stomach flus
1 ulcer
1 uti
1 smashed toe and 1 smashed finger.
James and I also had an extremely hard thing happen to us the day before we packed up our home and moved. I was and still am grateful for the ones who showed up and helped us finish packing and cleaning. Nobody knew what we were going through. The Lord had heard our prayers and carried us.
We were able to find a great little home here in IF.
The Lord defiantly has a plan and wanted us here, at this time, for a purpose.
We have seen the Lords hand in all we have done.
We've been in Idaho since July 5th and we are loving it!
Idaho is very slow paced and quiet.
We live in a great neighborhood and have a great ward.
We have been very blessed.
And now ... the moving pictures...

| This is the cause of the smashed finger and toe - and yes, I brought that shelve up the stairs and to the garage by myself :) |
Brothers (heart)
Since it was the 4th of July - we went to Mike and Melissa's home for a bbq and fireworks to celebrate. It was so nice being with family before me moved.
After eating deliciousness we went back to our place to watch the Thanksgiving Point Fireworks. Since our backyard is the field where they shoot of the fireworks we literally have a front row view. After the fireworks we were going to tay with James's brother that night since all our furniture was packed up but we were so tired I didn't think we could stay awake to drive the 10 minutes. So we decided to camp on the floor. Luckily Lincoln's mattress was one of the last things that was put in the trailer so we had that for me and Linc to sleep on. Winn slept in his swing. I went over to a neighbors (yes at 11 PM) and asked if she had some pillows and some blankets to borrow. hahah it was so ghetto but we slept so well!
That morning we said some last minute goodbyes and finished packing the trailer - yes we fit all our belongings in that trailer! Next thing I knew i was saying good bye to our first home - our home we brought the boys home to.
And yes, you'd be surprised - No tears! :)
James and Dad drove the truck and trailer and I followed behind with the boys and my bro.
Oh, Idaho
Home sweet Home
We were quick to unpack everything so we could start to live a noraml life again. I think we are finally starting to really get us to our new life here..and we are loving it!
