Big Changes!

So this post has been awhile in coming, but in my defense, the past couple of weeks have been super crazy.  October 31, Jeremy had an interview for a job in Tri-Cities.  November 1, he was offered the position.  However, the job started November 7.  So we had to decide what we were going to do; whether we would try and move out the weekend of the 5th or if we'd try and wait until the 12th.  To complicate things, I also got a job in Tri-Cities and had to do paperwork on the 7th and an orientation on the 10th.  That, combined with the manager stuff, would mean A LOT of travel back and forth for me.  So we decided to bite the bullet and try to get moved out the weekend of the 5th.  However, Jeremy had to be in Tri-Cities the 3rd-4th of November for his paperwork and a physical.  So the task of getting everything packed and ready to move fell mostly on my shoulders.

It was a crazy few days, but we managed.  Thankfully I was able to get a lot of boxes from stores that were putting out Christmas inventory and also got a few off Freecycle and from friends.  Then, with some help from our AWESOME friends, we were able to get everything moved out and cleaned up by Saturday night.  It was SUCH a relief to get done and realize that we didn't have to worry about getting back up to Cheney and get the place cleaned later.

We put most of our stuff in storage and are living with my parents for a few months.  It would have been even harder if we'd had to find a place to stay on top of everything else.  And it'll give us an opportunity to save up some money and spend time with family.  And they are, of course, enjoying being able to spend more time with Emmett.

We definitely miss our friends in Cheney, but we are deeply grateful that Jeremy was able to find a job and that we could be closer to family.
