Secret is out!!!

Well folks, if you didn't know already, we've got a big secret to share....we are moving!! Yep, that's right, we are moving from our sweet town home in Pocatello, Idaho to a brand new home in Colorado Springs, Colorado!

I don't even know where to start....we have known about this for quite some time now, but we didn't want to announce it like this until a few things were solidified.

First of all, Taylor will graduate with his bachelor's degree in two weeks! YAHOO! So, with graduation upon us, we knew we were going to be moving. We just didn't know where.

We talked about Utah and Colorado-- mainly--since that is where our families are. And one thing led to another and before we knew it, Colorado became the spot.

Back in October, Taylor interviewed with several companies. Some of which offered him a job. But there was this one company that stuck out to Taylor, and he wanted that job. That one company had a very....very....very long hiring process. Taylor interviewed with them on October 6, and three interviews and two months later, he got the official offer yesterday. Hip, hip, hooray!!!

So.....Taylor will finish his job here this Friday, and have a week or so of finals. My last day of work here is next Friday, Dec. 12. We will then have a couple of days to pack our place up and on Dec. 19 we are going to be relocating to Colorado Springs!

And you know what the best part of all this is?! (Besides Taylor being done with his bachelor's degree and getting an awesome job, of course....) I get to STAY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am literally counting down the days and am so so so so so soooo excited!!! I can't even tell you how ecstatic I am to stay home with Isaac!

And speaking of home, we have been in the process of building a home in Colorado. It will be great for us with plenty of room to grow.

So, that's our big news! Graduate, move, start new job, new home, and me becoming a stay-at-home mom! Yippee!!!
