The Move


Most know by now that we recently moved back to Shelley, my hometown.  Michael was hired for a job in Idaho Falls on a wednesday and started the following monday (Aug. 11).  It was a little crazy moving so fast-- we spent a couple of days packing and saying goodbye and we were out of there.  We are excited for the new job, and to be closer to family, but also sad to leave our sweet little ward in Sandy.  When I told Andrew we were moving, he started crying, "But I'm going to miss Reese!" (Reese and his family are some of the good friends we spent a lot of time with in Sandy).  

We are now staying with my parents in Woodville until we get our house either sold or rented out completely, so we don't have to pay double rent or house payments.  It's a little crazy and crowded here, but it's kind of fun too.  The hardest thing is getting into a routine and out of vacation mode-- staying up too late and eating a lot of junk food.  

Michael loves his job at IE Productions, and I'm excited to start soon as a personal trainer at the Idaho Falls YMCA.  It looks like we just might settle here in eastern Idaho, which is surprising, but I guess you have to move away to appreciate it.  It's a pretty good place to be, despite the constant wind and the smell of dairy (and when I say dairy, I mean manure, not milk products).
