UPDATE....

Well, it has been a long time since I have posted an update about our family. So much has changed in the past few months, I am not sure where to start! Here goes...Scott had a mid-life crisis and wanted to see if his photography work was as good as he thought it was. So he sent out resumes across the country, and waited to hear back from the studios. It didn't take long until he had almost every studio he sent a resume to call him. After long phone interviews, we decided on Boise, ID. But we still wanted to be sure, so we flew out in June to meet the studio owner, and to see how Scott would like working for someone else. It went great, and after a few days in Boise, we thought that our family would do great there. So, Scott left us and moved to Boise so he could begin working, and the kids and I were left in Sikeston to pack up our lives. After 5 weeks, it was time to say goodbye to a place we called home for the past 12 years. It was extremley sad (yes I know I admit it) to leave family and friends, but we were excited to start over and see what Boise had to offer us. SO...after the terrible 26 hour drive through 7 states, we arrived at our house in Meridian, ID. We have been here for almost a week, and we are down to only a few boxes still around. The kids went and registered for school, met their teachers, and Graison has already had a week of football practice! School starts Monday, and they are ready to meet new people. It is truly a whole different place here. Instead of having to drive 2 hours to a decent mall, we only have to drive 5 minutes!! The kids are loving all the choices of places to go out to dinner, and to get dessert. And I am loving having an actual grocery store!! NO MORE WALMART!! Anyway, I think this brings us up to date. I am going to TRY and be better at keeping this updated. Now that all of our family is away from us, it will be good for grandmas to be able to keep tabs on their grandkids!
