We're Moving!?!?

I can't believe we are moving! We have been praying for God to provide a way for us to be togther as a family, for Jason to be home with us. Well, my prayer was for the perfect job to open in Payette. Close to our friends and family and house. God had other ideas. HIS plan is to move us to McCall. Jason applied for a postition on the demand crew up there and got it. I am beyond thankful to be able to have him come home every.single.night! It's been a long 6 years of being separated the majority of the time. It's become even harder as the kids have grown. They need their Daddy! And Mommy needs Daddy - both because I love the guy and for support in the parent department! I have had soso much support over the years though. My parents have stepped in time and again to fill the gap, encourage, help, give me and break ect. I would have been LOST without them! Aunt Boo has continued to stay with me a couple times a night to ensure a couple good night sleeps. We treausre the time we have spent with her. Kristen and Sage have always welcomed us over also for a break of normal routine. Sheila frequently invited me over for dinner so I wouldn't be lonely and called to check in often. We have been blessed with the love and support of some really great friends and family. That is part of why it was so hard to make this decision to leave! 
 
Jen, Sheila and Jamie put together a surprise we love you party! It was such a special time! A bunch of people put together desserts and Jen and Jamie decorated it up so cute! LOVED it! We had it the night before the big move. SNIFF.... We were so blessed by the love! 
Some SUPER great friends I AM GOING TO MISS!!!

The kids have such great friends and cousins. They are so blessed. I will miss not being a few minutes away from everyone. We have pretty much always lived close to friends and family. We don't quite know what to do without everyone so far away.
I will miss my best friend! So will Madison! :)
Hahaha...Mo didn't know what to think of Uncle Jasons hairy face! It was pretty cute!
I have been so blessed by Aunt Boo! We have formed such a special friendship that I treasure so much. I will miss our late night talks and watching our favorite shows together! 
Grandma Rene making Mo happy!
Packing and cleaning day. Megan and Jen were such a wonderful help! 
All the master packers!
Nathan and Braden worked hard along with all the guys! I was proud of them.
Kristen, Sage and Jonah - here for the weekend to help.
Mom getting my sinks whiter than I ever had. I wish I knew her secret sooner! Oh well...
Braden and Nathan had fun mowing on the riding lawn mower. It was a big help too!
Yep, learn about credit cards early! 
Resting after a long {emotional} day. 
I came out to find the kids stuck at the top of the pile in the moving truck. They were having fun, but they got stuck. So I had to climb up and save them! Little cuties. Tomorrow....it's off to McCall! Starting a new, exciting {somewhat sad and scary} adventure!
