CH-CH-CH-Changes...

WHAT. A. WEEK!

Wow, I don't even know where to begin.

One week ago, we were under the impression that we were no where near ready to buy a house, we were aggressively looking for a new job for Marty (although his current one is a fine job, it doesn't have room for growth which is why we've been looking), were wondering how much longer we'd need to make our van last, and how much longer we'd be living in limbo at my parent's house.

Fast forward a week and suddenly we find out that we actually ARE ready to buy a house (still kind of upset that we were told we weren't, only to find out that not only are we ready, but well above where we needed to be credit wise to be ready...), Marty was offered a job in St. George, Utah that we are accepting and will start April 15th (still not sure if me and the girls will stay here to finish out the school year or not), and we found a smokin' deal on a GMC Yukon XL that we pick up on Friday.

WHAT?!

We had started looking for jobs outside of Utah, wondering if that's why nothing was happening here.  We had resigned to the idea of moving away again, and knew it would be fine.  So when the St. George job came along, we were thrilled.  Because while it is "moving away" from home, it's only 4 hours away, and my sister Emily already lives down there.  So we'll still be by some family!  SO EXCITED!

We have been praying and trying to be patient for things to fall into place for the last year and a half, almost two years.  And everything we tried to do fell through or didn't feel right.  And now in a matter of a week, everything fell into place and feels GREAT.

We will be heading down to St. George next week for Spring Break (a trip that was already planned) and will use a day of our vacation there to scope out houses and neighborhoods to see what we want to do.  Emily is also doing a lot of leg work for us and is a great resource for good areas to look.

I can't even begin to express how excited I am that things are finally moving forward for us after such a long time of working hard and being disappointed!  

We've been stuck in limbo a long time, and it feels good to finally stand up and stretch our backs.

Hooray for positive changes!
