I dont know if anyone has noticed, but there is a FOR SALE sign in the yard.
Yes, we are moving. Kevin has accepted a job offer in Las Vegas. Why Las Vegas you ask? Well we are not sure why. I know some of you think that we are crazy, but we both kept having these feelings to check into the area and the employment. We went to Vegas last weekend and we searched for homes and jobs. Kevin happened to call an individual that he worked with when he worked on projects with Arco Electric. This individual told him that they were just discussing the possibility of hiring someone to do estimating. They had not planned on it entirely, but they told him to come a get an interview with the company owners. Apparently they liked him because they offered him a position. He will get better pay and benefits. He was so excited. I also was offered a job, but was unable to take it because I have to finish my schooling (I cant wait for June to come). We looked at houses and found that there were some great deals on homes. We found two areas that we would like to live in. One is Henderson and the other is Mountains Edge. They both have perks. The only hangup is our current home. We have had a few people interested and one family that wants to buy. We will see what happens. We just might be homeless for a while. GOOD THING MY TWIN LOVES ME.
Kevin will be leaving in May and the girls and I will be finishing up school and leaving the first week of July. I am so nervous about it all. I feel at peace with the decision, but I also feel anxious. I know no one down thereI would get all spiritual on you and tell you some of the great testimony experiences that I have had throughout this experience, but it would take too long and some of you might not want to hear about it.
Those of you that love Carl and Ruth know that this will be an upheaval in their lives as well. We have had long discussions with them about this and they feel that it is right also. Ruth started having feelings that she needed to prepare for moving months ago. We did not know this. We will be paying them some money and they will build an apartment in their daughter's home, Freda. We will miss having them so close to us.
My girls have expressed that they are only excited if we can have a swimming pool at the house that we buy. I think that it began to hit when we visited, and they became anxious. Arianna said that she will really miss her friends and family. "How will we have a family party for my birthday if we have no family around?" That seemed to be her biggest worry. I have fretted and worried about the way my girls will handle this move. I do not want them to experience any trauma because of this. I just keep praying that they will find good friends.
Well that is enough for now. I hope that this answers some questions for all. If not, call me. I will miss everyone this has been a great ward and place to live.

I can't believe how fast it's happening! You two are amazing examples of listening to promptings and following through. I'm kind of denial that you will be going. Let us know if you need anything- it's the least we could do.
Well, congrats on Kevin's job! It sounds like a great opportunity. You will definitely be missed!
We'll miss all of you, but it sounds like it's the place you're suppose to be. My cousin and his family love it in Las Vegas. The Church is very strong there. If you'd like I can send you their names and contact info.
Dang it all, Nicole! This makes me so sad. I just love you, and our ward won't be quite the same without you. On the other hand, I admire your willingness to take a leap of faith for your family. When you put your life in the Lord's hands, you can't go wrong. We will miss you terribly. Can we have a party or something before you go? Maybe we could get some girls together and go out to lunch.
Nicole I am so happy for you guys but I am so sad. I have loved getting to know you and developing such a great friendship with you. I will and already do miss our long talks. You will never know the impact you have made on my life. I just love ya and wish you the best of luck!
Thanks for all of your support. I love all of you. Just know that all of you have made a deep impact on my life. I wish I could share it with each of you. Maybe someday I will.
I choose not to comment!
My heart is aching and I am trying to see the big picture for you but it means losing you and Kevin just when I was seeing light at the end of the tunnel :( I need an all night gab session with you before you go!!!
i still think the whole thing stinks, but I hope things work out. We'll probably see you MORE often now, haha.
I know just what you're going through!!!!! Hold on to the feeling you've had confirming it's right and then just hang on for the next year. After 6months to a year you'll look back and know it has all worked out better than you could have ever guessed. Good Luck! Best Wishes and remember everything happens for a purpose!
That last post was from me - sorry, I forgot I was signed in under Dale's account. -Amy
wow i can't believe you'll be leaving! and so soon! it's terribly sad. but great news that kevin will be getting an estimating job, and that the pay and benefits will be better. it really sounds like a blessing, and fairly good timing since you'll be finished with school so soon. now hopefully your home sales soon! let me know when you have time to go to lunch one of those days you're in slc, i'd love to see you.
Wow! It's tough to see you guys move so far away. Not that we've been good at keeping in touch, but I'll miss knowing that we could get together. Where does Freda live? I thought she was near Vegas?
Well, congratulations. I hope this proves to be a very enjoyable change. We have some good friends in Vegas that are always trying to talk us in to joining them there. So. . .if we ever get to visit them, maybe we can drop in on you too!
