New Adventures

Well, it seems that I had forgotten that I even had a blog to be quite frank. But my friends and family had not. I do miss the fun of posting pics and letting others know what is going on with our family.

Tonight Travis, Jess & the boys came over for dinner. I made pork chops. They didn't come out quite as I had liked, but it ended up that they were a hit anyway! Thanks, guys! Jess decided that a walk was in order since this Conference Sunday was a particularly sunny one. The weather was gorgeous today! So I snapped this pic of her and little Felix's face peeking out. Yes, I've been remiss as a grandma and have not properly announced the addition of Felix into the family. He was born January 21st and is so adorable. More pictures will be coming. My favorite name for him? Chunka Munka Man. He's such a chubby little thing! Also, I'll be putting some more pics on my Facebook too.

So tonight it's official...as per directions by the Spirit...Dan is actively seeking a transfer to a Home Depot in Idaho! I never thought I'd want to leave Washington but the Lord can change a heart. I still love Washington but feel so drawn to Idaho. The catalyst for this was Travis and Jess are moving there in about a month. It got us thinking, and praying, very hard. I even went so far as to pray for a stupor of thought so I wouldn't worry about it. Instead, got a giddy, warm, got to do it feeling and that everything would work out. Chandler was hesitant but is now game for anything, Trevor's all for it since his steady girl will be in Idaho too, Ransom wants the whole discussion to stop and us to forget about leaving. Dan and I feel calm, peaceful and that it's what we want to do. Hopefully we will be able to convince Ransom that this'll be a good move for the family and there are good things awaiting us there.

I'm still working at Michaels for now. Kind of hoping that I'll be able to transfer to one in Idaho too because you can't beat the discount!! Krista has been helping us so much lately as we are going through and doing some deep cleaning and dejunking the house whether we move or not. She says it's her secret plot to make us want to stay in this house and not move. Let's not think about how much I will miss our sisters here in WA. When I'm not dejunking and working I am scrapbooking, sewing and quilting. Oh, and did I mention crocheting?

Okay, Travis, here's a bonafide post, where's my banana Slurpee?

I was so happy to see this post, and so happy that you are indeed trying to go to Idaho!

I think it will be a great situation for you all. Fingers crossed for you that it all works out.

HELLO!!! People in Idaho who might be your neighbors should be the first to hear about things like this! Where are you planning on looking? Let me know! P.S. I think it is a good choice! P.P.S. my sister is a realtor, let me know if you want her to start looking for anything! Love, Jen
