Life is a funny thing sometimes

Where to begin. As most everyone knows, Brice graduated from BYU this past April and had been job hunting since even before that. At the end of April, we got a call from Page High School in Page, Arizona (3 miles from Lake Powell). We packed up Claire, Brice and a very pregnant me, and went down for the interview. The next day we were offered the job. At first we were very excited, but as it go closer, I started to feel more and more uneasy. We would be moving to Page with not one friend or family member within 5-6 hours of the entire town.
A couple of weeks after Noah was born, Brice got a call from his old high school basketball coach in Colorado. They had an opening at the high school out here. I always said I wouldnt live near his hometown. I love his family. It has nothing to do with them, but it is very small, and VERY windy. However, once we started thinking about it, there were way more positives to us moving to Colorado so Brice jumped in the car and interviewed in Colorado. On his way home, he got a phone call saying that they had given the job to someone else. We were actually very sad about it. We were very grateful that we had the job in Page still, but had started to get very excited about moving to Colorado. He looked around a little more in the Colorado area but was unsuccessful. So, we just began moving forward with plans to move to Page. We were able to find a house but were going to move in without seeing it. Luckily, the landlord wasnt requiring a deposit until we got there so if we hated it, we wouldnt be married to it.
We had all of our family out in Utah for Noah's blessing and also to help us pack. Monday morning, our truck was loaded, we were finishing the last minute cleaning and were planning on leaving for Page on Tuesday morning. Well wouldnt you know...the Lord works in mysterious ways my friends.
Brice got a phone call Monday morning at about 10 saying that the Colorado job was open again and was ours if we wanted it. We both sat on the bed and laughed. At that point, thats all that we could do.
After much praying and thinking and talking (we had about an hour to make up our minds) we decided to move to Colorado. We feel that there is a reason that we hadnt given any money to the Page landlord and that Brice was going to hand in a signed contract when we got there...he hadnt mailed it. So, we called Page (they were very unhappy...kind of rude), let them know we werent coming and headed out to Colorado on Tuesday morning. We are currently living with my inlaws. All of my stuff is in a storage unit. Brice, me and our two kids are sleeping in one room and living out of a suitcase and we are having a heck of a time trying to find a place to live. But we feel like we made the right decision. We felt really bad about letting Page down, but we have to do what's best for our family and so here we are. After the crazy emotional good byes, I am excited about this new chapter of our lives. I am sad to be gone from Utah. I'd been there 7 years and made the best friends I could ask for. But that is the beauty of technology. I am able to keep in touch with all of them. And one of my good friends is getting married in September so I will be going back to Utah for that. I hope I have a home by then....wish us luck :)
