HUGE NEWS.... WE'RE MOVING TO CHARLESTON, SC.

We have a pretty big announcement to make! We are moving to Charleston, SC. We put our home on the market back in January in hopes of purchasing a new home in either Rigby or Rexburg... well, plan's have changed a little since then. Jesse was offered a job with the same surgeon that I work for back in January, but we thought about it and decided that we wanted to stay close to family. Well, this same offer has kept representing itself, so we thought that maybe this is something that we should really consider. We have been weighing our options now for quite some time and really are trying to make the best decision for our family. We have prayed about it and talked about it, then talked about it some more and we have finally decided that we are going to do it. It is kind of a leap of faith, but it is a wonderful opportunity for us. These types of offers don't come along often, especially in this economy. We both feel really good about our decision and are anxious for this adventure.

There is one HUGE downside to this move. Both sides of our family are here in Idaho. We are going to miss them terribly. We have also developed some lifelong friendships here. This is such an emotional thing and that makes this move really hard. We will be back to visit twice a year, which knowing that makes it a little easier to move. We are so grateful for our family and friends here and for all of the support they have given us for this decision.

Within a week after making this decision, things started falling into place. Our house sold, we sold our 4-wheelers and we found a new home to lease in Charleston. Things are working out for us. We should close on our home here the end of May and be leaving for Charleston the first week in June. We are so excited!!!!!

I have included a few pictures of our beautiful new home in Charleston. We are really excited to live on the water and I can't get over how beautiful the landscaping is. We have palm trees for crying out loud! The house also comes with that adorable little paddle boat that is tied to our personal little dock. The water comes from a big fresh water lake. You can travel the canal to the mouth of the 52 acre lake. I smell many paddle boat trips in our future. Someone pinch me!
