For those of you who do not know, Matt was laid off about a month ago. He looked for another job immediately and he found a great one in New Mexico. "NEW MEXICO" you say. Yeah, I know, NM was on my list of places I would never be willing to move to, NO MATTER WHAT. It absolutely amazes me how our Heavenly Father works. It has humbled me to know that the plan he has in mind for me does not always coincide with the plan I have for myself. However, when I have listened to him, rather than my own selfish desires, the plan for me has always turned out better than I could have ever foreseen it to.
Anyways, we have studied it out, we have discussed it thoroughly, and we have prayed about it; A LOT. We even decided to fly to NM and check it out. While we were there we found a house to rent in a wonderful neighborhood.
We signed the lease the morning before we left and it all became official. I have to say though, we searched for gyms harder than we searched for a house. There was absolutely NOTHING compared to Lifetime, so I am struggling with that.
I will elaborate more later; better said, complain more later, but what is REALLY the hardest for me is giving up living next to the most incredible friends. We LOVE our friends here and we LOVE our ward here and have I mentioned how much I LOVE my calling at our church in Young Women's? I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! I want to thank all of you and especially the Mendel's (hopefully I am not offending anyone by saying that), for being such incredible friends to us and making us feel so welcomed and loved here.
WE WILL MISS YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!
Below are some videos of our home. They are pretty good videos, but make sure not to get sea sick while you watch them :)
Let us know what you think. We love it!!!
