A little trip to Idaho

After saying our goodbyes in Salt Lake, we hopped in the car and headed to Idaho.  We stopped in Twin Falls where Caleb got to stay the night with Grandma Lori.  He spent the next day with my parents.  For some reason, both sets of grandparents just put him to work!
 He's actually a pretty good little buddy if he can have your 100% attention.

 Looks like he didn't mind at all!

Aaron and I tagged along with Amy and Shane and made our way to Boise.  Why?  To look for a house!  After 2 LONG days, we found one!





 




 


Yup, we're moving!  Aaron took a job with a new firm in Boise.  He's excited about the job and we're excited to be closer to family.  But we are sick about leaving our friends here in Chicago.  It is a very bittersweet experience.  I may need to wear waterproof mascara for the next couple weeks 'cause there will be a lot of tears.  We have loved so many things about Chicago -- access to all the fun city stuff and a great life in the burbs.  It's been a wonderful 5 years (plus our intern summer in a downtown high-rise).  Tentative move date is July 27th and then we'll make our way West.  I'm already surrounded by boxes and still have a lot of work to do between now and then -- and a lot of playing to get in -- and a lot of crying!  Here's to a new chapter!  We feel very blessed and guided :)

Wow! This is really exciting! The house looks wonderful, too. I'm sure you will love it there. I know it's so hard to leave when you've made good friends. But, thankfully, it's easy to stay in touch these days. Good luck with the move! I'm excited for you guys!

What the what?! How exciting! I am so jealous that you guys are moving to Boise. Did you buy a house or are you renting? It looks amazing. Congratulations on the new job and best of luck with the move!

Boo. I'm trying to be happy for you, I really am. But it's proving very difficult. :)

Yay! We are moving to Boise, as well!
Our house isn't done and won't be until probably October but when it is we'd love to invite you over to pet the sheep. :)
