Wow, what a whirlwind of life changes! About a week after my last post, Carson received a phone call from his District Manager at Federated offering him a territory back in Boise (instead of Portland, as originally discussed). We thought long and hard (not really...I think it took us a whole 2 minutes to make up our minds) and decided that we would LOVE to be back in Boise. As much as we had been looking forward to being closer to family in Oregon, we realized how much Boise was "us" and how much we had truly missed it over the last 8 months. Once the decision was made, it was a crazy few weeks to say the least. We had to break the news to our parents (who were sad but very excited for us and supported our decision), I had to beg for my old job back in Boise (which worked out and I'm now happily back at St. Lukes Breast Care Services) and basically kick our renters out of our home. Actually, we didn't have to kick them out, they needed a bigger place anyways so they were happy to get out of theire lease early! So basically EVERYTHING worked out in our favor and I was back in our house and working in Boise within a month. Carson is still traveling back and forth between here in Minnesota every other week until August 18th, but we've definitely made it through the toughest part. We feel so fortunate and blessed that so many good things have come our way and we could not be more grateful for the love, support and HELP we've received from our family and friends.
