Change...

...we have a love hate relationship; it both excites and terrifies me.

A few weeks ago I told Arnold that I felt like my life was in a rut. I felt like I needed some change...a shake up. It's the military brat that will forever live inside me. I get anxious and board easily. I long for change; even if it's a simple rearrangement of my furniture or a new paint color on the walls. Well this time I got a lot more than a trip to Sherman Williams. Yesterday, Arnold got a call from BYU Idaho and they offered him a new job as the Manager for the Creative Services Department. So it looks like instead of moving my couch to the other side of the living room, I'll be moving it all the way to Rexburg Idaho.

After a day of celebration and gratitude for many prayers answered...and I am incredibly grateful, excited and happy...I've now settled into stress mode. So much to do, so little time. Arnold will start his new job the middle of August. Luckily we can stay with my parents until we find a home. We can also leave all our stuff here until that time, and we are lucky that BYUI will arrange and pay for our move. I don't even have to pack all our stuff...huge sigh of relief!! But for some reason I'm still having to remind myself to breath...in...out...in...out...in...out!


Like I said...Love...Hate...Love...Hate!

Oh Mindi, I'm feeling the love/hate. I love that you have great things to look forward to and fabulous memories to be made with your family near. I hate that we will be missing you. I've learned so much from you and admire you more than you could possible know. So grateful for this time that we have had and only wish these last few weeks will go smoothly for you. I'd be more than glad to watch your girls so you can get things done at your house. LOVE YOU!!

We will miss you guys! That's exciting though to be working for BYUI. We've been trying to find a job for Grant at BYU. It was such a great place to work.
