its official

I posted a few weeks back about our upcoming move, but Aaron said I should probably wait to post until he told his work. Well yesterday he gave his notice.

It's official

We are moving to Rexburg

We've always kind of known that we wanted to head back to Idaho but I have to admit when we found out we were going to be moving back I had a lot of mixed emotions.  We really have loved our time here in Oregon and will miss so many things. We are looking forward though to Aaron not having a 2 1/2 hour commute each day, and being so close to grandparents and cousins. 

We've had a lot of people tell us, when they hear we are going to Rexburg say,
"Do you know how cold it gets there?"

Yes

Isn't it going to be wonderful though

Think of all the great stories I'll have to share about the Antarctic cold and snow we'll get!
Our move date is just before Thanksgiving.  This will be our 8th move in 8 years of marriage. Yikes!
I can't wait to buy a house and really settle down for once.

So exciting!! We are moving Thanksgiving week too, good luck packing and getting ready. It is kind of nice going through stuff and getting rid of things you really don't need.

I remember meeting you guys for the first time in Rexburg. This is awesome news. It's always hard to start over with a new move, but how exciting that you get to be by your mom. I LOVE Rexburg, it is an awesome town and a great place for your kids. Good Luck with the move, so excited for you!
