Here we go again!

Fifteen years ago this month, Joshua left for truck driving school. Shiny new Class A Driver's License in hand, he and I hopped into his new big truck on Christmas Day and headed out to criss cross the United States together. It was amazing...we were newly wed and got to be together 24-7 and earn an income. While traveling, one of our very favorite parts of the country came to be the Snake River Gorge in Idaho.

Five years ago this month, we decided to escape the downward tailspinning economy of California, and move our family to the state we had fallen in love with so many years before. Joshua got a job with a great company in Idaho and we settled into our new life. We got pregnant with Carter and expected we were snuggled in for the long term there. Of course, most of you know the somewhat comical and oftentimes exhausting story of us then bouncing from Arizona to Texas and finally Oklahoma over the past few years.

Well, here we go again!! Because the bulk of the area that Joshua now manages for his company is in the Pacific Northwest and Oklahoma is definitely "central," we are moving back to our beloved Idaho so that Joshua lives in the middle of his territory. We are very dissappointed to be leaving the amazing friendships we've made here in Oklahoma, along with our cozy home and wonderful church. But if we have to leave, we are very excited to be headed back to Idaho. We are 100% an outdoors family, and the weather there will let us do all of the activities we've missed so much over the last couple of years. Skiing and camping and hiking and boating and just riding bikes and playing at the park during the summer await us!

So...forgive me as blogging gets even more sporadic than it has been lately...another season of chaos is beginning! If all goes as tentatively planned, we'll be moving the weekend of December 10th. We have our house on the market (read: crazy amounts of time spent keeping it looking in "model home" shape), I'm starting to pack for the move, we have a quick trip out to Boise in 10 days for a house-hunting trip...oh yeah...AND the holidays are right around the corner haha!!
