Crazy Month

We have had a busy May this year. First, my in-laws (who we were living with) miraculously sold their house and closed the end of April. We were scrambling for a place to live, not knowing if we would stay in CDA for a couple of weeks or a few months (it depended on when Adam got a job in Southern Idaho). After learning that no one rents on a month-to-month basis, we realized that we had to rely on the kindness of someone willing to take in a family of three (and having the space to do so). Our prayers were quickly answered, as a couple in our ward opened their home to us. It was such a blessing, and we loved getting to know this incredible couple. We will always remember them and how they lovingly took us in and tolerated a toddler terrorizing their home and cats. :)

Just as we were getting settled, Adam got a job in our target area! The thing is, they wanted him to start 8 days after getting the offer. He found us a place to live (without being able to look inside), we tied up loose ends in CDA, loaded up the U-haul, and moved in. It has been a whirlwind. Amora has struggled with all of the instability and chaos. But we are settling in. Our place is perfect for our needs, we have the freedom to fix things up the way we want them, and we love being on our own again. Although we've been so grateful for all the sacrifices so many have made on our behalf this past year, we love it being just the three of us. Well there will soon be four--we're getting a pet rat tomorrow.

We already miss our old friends in CDA, but we're excited to start this new adventure and make new friends. Thanks to all of you for your love, support, and prayers!

Here are a few pictures from this past month. Amora had to say goodbye to her best friend, Ryan (but not before they had a few laughs).
