Movin' Up ~ Movin' Out

Never a dull moment around here. Life constantly changes and that is a good thing. Last week we found out that Mom and Dad had an unexpected Buy/Sell on their home. It wasn't even listed but a realtor friend knew they were thinking about it and drove some clients by the house. They loved it and so we were on a mad dash to find a new place to live. I had been thinking that we would probably move to Townsend, MT but was really unsure as to what I would do for a living there. The day that I received the news, my Aunt Colleen called to visit with us and after telling her what had transpired ~ she had some great suggestions about coming down to Logan, UT. Realizing that my time was short and that my work schedule would be a little crazy the last two weeks of this month, I jumped in the car and went in search of a "new life". I was able to talk to several people about my business and then we found a great little home in Mendon. It was truly an answer to prayers! It's amazing what mountains can be moved when the Lord is behind them.
Cy has had a little bit of a set back this last month medically and when we took him to the doctor we realized that it's still going to be a while before he is going to be able to be out in the public much. He's a trooper though and seems to take it all in stride. He's wonderful about taking his medicine and is very good about his diet.
Knowing what was ahead of me when I left to go down to Utah has been a little nerve racking. I will have to continue homeschooling for a while so that means I have to work from home still. I am hoping to continue to do virtual business solutions and break into the Art world in Cache Valley. I also visited with LDS Employment Services and they were a great help as is/was Aunt Colleen.
We were so relieved to find a home that is affordable and would work for Cy. Heavenly Father and our support from the other side of the veil were working overtime on that little project. It looked pretty bleak and I had to leave on Thursday to come back to Montana before anything was settled. On Friday, I received a call from the landlord that he was going to let us have the house even though there were some applications in before ours. My references really had to talk and I'm grateful to them.
With the good news comes the reality news ~ now we have to pack! Yikes, what to do with everything?? I guess a garage sale is the first order of business.

Grateful for my Support LINE!

Our lives are so full of support from family and friends and I just wanted to take a moment and say thanks! We all just put in a full week and I couldn't have pulled it off without the help of so many. Thanks Cy for being the great little man that you are and for doing so well while I was gone. I'm glad you were here to keep Grandma company. Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping Cy and for all the phone calls! I appreciate your support even though we didn't get the "perfect" place. Borrowing the car was a nice bonus and made the trip very comfortable. Aunt Colleen ~THANKS THANKS for all the trips to Logan, the mental fence you provided and for the laughs. You're amazing. I forgot to ask if you liked Mama Mia?!? Uncle Dick - you are the best care giver! You're the rock that holds us all together. Thanks for all you do and for the great cookie to eat on the way home! Hope you get some sleep. I love you all!
