In a Uhaul don't know when we'll be back again. This is what Jon and I started singing when he got the call Thurs. night. Thats right goodbye Utah, and hello good ol' Washington.
We have been so blessed for this opportunity to pop up in our lives. We've both felt like our lives have been on hold, in limbo, waiting & waiting for normal income and to have insurance. To be able to expand our family if we like. Jon has never had health insurance so we'll finally found out what ALL is wrong with him. Ha ha. Jon has been working for an electric company the last month and guess what....was laid off again. So the timing couldn't be more perfect. We've already started packing thanks to my sweet mother-in-law. I started working on my bathroom yesterday and can't wait to get started today.
This has been bitter sweet I know I'll miss my good friends that I've developed while living here
at Alpine Storage. They've really been there for my family through it all and even become like family to me. I'm so happy I'll have lots of reasons to come back to UT though, and I've got to little new babies to see come August and October. So excited to come back and visit already.
Jon has been such a good sport though everything we've dealt with. I know he carried a heavy burden when he wasn't able to provide all he could for the family. He's been a hard worker and picked up jobs where ever he could. I'm proud of him for that. I'm excited to see how he likes this new career and to see if it will fit his personality like I expect it to.
I've never liked Connell much and probably only because I went to Othello high school (rivals). I could never be more grateful for it now. I've never really loved Othello until now. I think I've finally grown up enough to appreciate my home town for what it is.
I'm estatic to have family close and to be able to create deeper friendships with my sisters. I'm excited to start running with having to worry about getting hit by cars or mugged by ex-cons (where I work). Maddie is going to go nuts with all the little cousins running around, a real dream come true. I'm expecting her to become Katie's new tag-along, because she seems to like Katie the most when were home visiting. Jon is so excited to live on "The Hill".
Well I'm off to a primary activity, then Bode's baptism, and then hopefully start packing.
How did I not know there was something this big out there? I remember making jokes about the "Corrections Center Ahead" sign in front of Connell High School on the sporting event bus.
Whooo hooo today is my last day of work and then I have to really kick the packing and cleaning into gear.
