After 9 Months...

After 9 long months of Jason working in Pocatello and the rest of our family in Nampa- we have sold our house and moved back to Poky! When Jason took the new job back in the end of October, we thought it would MAYBE take 3 months to sell our house. When it took longer than that, I decided that everything would work out as long as we were settled somewhere before Hallee would start kindergarten in the fall. I guess timing is everything because we closed on our house on August 6th but we can't move into our rental house until the 20th and then school starts on the 24th. We will barely be settled by the first day of school- but I guess that's all I hoped for.

We are so excited to be together again but the situation is bitter sweet to us. We loved our house. We loved living close to Jason's family. We loved our ward. We loved the treasure valley (good shopping, better weather, lots of things to do). It was hard to leave. I will miss so much.

Our family has so much to be grateful for and so we are going to make the best of this move. A new school, new ward, new friends, and new experiences all in my old hometown.

I'm sad you are gone and won't be here to join in all the fun parades we have. That is amazing how it worked out for Hallee to start kindergarden. I'm glad your family is together again and that you were able to sell your house!

Good luck in good old Pocatello :-O

Love ya!

I for one, am glad that you are here, but understand that it has been a tough move for you and your family. I hope it gets easier with time.

Glad its Pocatello so we can visit you when we also visit Marc's family! And... I can't believe it has been 9 month since Jason got that job because it doesn't seem like that long (probably seemed longer to you though!)

The new neighbors are not as cute as you guys! I still look over there every morning to see if the kitchen light is on!

Hey Robyn! Congrats on selling your house. Maybe there is hope for us when we sell ours there..?
Now that you guys are a little closer we should plan some kind of get-together. Let us know if you guys ever get over this way :)
