What a great adventure we have had these last few months.  In short, (because all 3 of you that follow my blog already know all this:) Jason got a job for ConAgra in Boise and we moved to Idaho in September.  We showed up and surprised my folks, stayed with them for a few weeks while we settled on a home and closed on it, and then we got moved in.  We are so happy to be here.  We live in a great little community called Hidden Springs, in the foothills of Boise and our home here is as beautiful as our mountain views.  Really, we are so happy.  Jason's job is going well and the kids are starting to settle in at their new schools and in the ward here.  We do miss Wisconsin, but it is so wonderful to be near family again.  And we do just love Idaho! 

So, that being said... Many of you who know me well wiil be surprised to hear me say I am SO SICK OF MOVING and I NEVER WANT TO MOVE AGAIN!!!  I really have enjoyed living so many places and seeing so many things, but it is just so much work every time we have to move.  Especially now that the kids are older and moving is never easy for them.  I counted the homes we've bought since we've been married.  We have purchased 7 homes in the short 16 years that we've been married.  This move brought Kiley's "schools attended" count to 10 and Will and James are at 8 each.  That is just way too many times to have to make new friends and start over.  So we have committed to staying here for the next 6 years (at least).  That will get the three oldest kids through High School, but after that, we will see how we are feeling and maybe I will be up for some more adventures by then... 

I will try to take some new pictures.  Tomorrow Tracy and Russ and (I think) my parents are coming over for dinner and trick-or-treating, so we will take pictures then and post some in a few days.  We are still unpacking boxes like crazy and trying to get settled, but we feel so blessed to be here.  Maybe once things settle down a bit, I will be better about blogging more often...maybe...
