Life is Changing!!!

I am trying to update the blog and let everyone know what has been going on. A couple of weeks ago, I went back to work part-time to make a little extra money. I forgot just how exhausting it can be along with everything else. I will now be working 24hrs per work, but the past 2 weeks, I have been doing orientation and have been full-time and let me tell you - it sucked!!! Anyway, I know, stop whining, but it was hard after being at home for 3 years and now I have to do everything else along with the work again. Anyway, I'm getting used to it.

OUR GREAT NEWS is that Mark got a job in Boise!!! We found out on Friday and we are so excited. We have been praying about it and hoping that something would work out and what a blessing! The benefits are great - FREE medical, dental and vision for Mark and a very minimal cost for the rest of us - we could not have asked for anything better. I know this is probably coming as a shock to some of you as the past few months we have made the decision to move to Boise to be closer to family and Mark has been interviewing. We are trying to sell our house right now and Mark will start his job on February 17th and will live with my Mom until we all get moved up. The girls and I will probably not move up there for at least a month or so as we have to try and get some other things in place first. We are still in shock...pray for us as we are going to have a lot going on in the next few months. YEAH - what an answer to prayer for us.

Lisa, I'm thrilled for you. Not that we won't be terribly sad to see you go, but what a financial relief for you both. I hope it goes well. And I'm so glad you'll be close to family.

Congratulations! I know how hard it is to have to separate the family while you wait for the house to sell and all. Ron and Kyle (our 17 yr old) moved down to OK March 2008. The little guys and I didn't get down here until June...house had to sell and I had to repair all the damage done by our tenant in our rental house. God works it all out in His time though:) Sending happy thoughts your way! Jacci

Lisa - what great news for your family. That's great that Mark was able to get a job in this economy, and that you've been able to work as well (even though it sucks).

We better have lunch before you go!
