I just flew back from Idaho yesterday. Jeff started school yesterday and is enjoying it this far.
So here's our adventure in a nutshell:
Jeff and I drove out last Tuesday morning. We had his truck and trailer plum full of as much furniture and belongings as we could fit in there. We looked like the Beverly Hillbillies. But I must say that Jeff and his dad packed it perfectly. We made it safe and sound to Orem, Ut and got to spend Wednesday & Thursday visiting cousins, my sister & grandparents.
Friday we headed to our new home in Boise. We had an apartment lined up but when we got there, we decided it was not a place we could live with our 3 kids. Can you say GHETTO? Seriously. It was bad. I wanted to cry. But then a miracle happened. We said a prayer and decided to just drive to Meridian (where his school is.) and just try to find a place. We had tried to find an apartment in Meridian to begin with but didn't have such luck. Long story short, we found one and I feel so blessed! We actually tried to get an apartment there already but they didn't have any available at the time. It is perfect. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath. A big pool and playground right behind our unit. We were able to get approved and got the keys within 2 hours. The only bad thing is it is on the 3rd floor. That's gonna get old real fast. We found out what ward we were in and Jeff called our new bishop to ask if he could help find a couple of guys to help move us in. We were thinking Saturday because it was like 6:30 on Friday night. Well the bishop called us back and within about 15 minutes we had 6 guys! They moved us all in in about 40 minutes! It was awesome! We got all unpacked on Saturday and got our groceries. We went to our new ward on Sunday and felt so welcome and even got brownies from a family that night! I flew out Monday morning. The girls are finishing up school and then we will head out on May 18th. My mom is driving up with me. We are excited for this adventure ahead. It's a little scary, but we are ready for it.

oh yea! i'm glad you found a good place. I'm glad you have a good ward too. It was so good to see you. & can't wait to see your kids. & I have to tell you I completely understand what you're going through. It's fun & scary & exciting all in one.
oh my goodness...i have been so out of the blogging world lately..i didnt know you guys were moving!! i am glad you found an apartment so quickly and your ward sounds great...thank goodness we can k.i.t over blogs and fb! good luck to you guys!!
What a bitter-sweet time for you! You've been talking about this time for a while, i can't believe it's already here! You will do so many amazing things there! As your blog says, "Enjoy the Journey!"
Isn't it amazing how things just work out?! That is so neat. Good luck with everything!
Devry...thank you for sharing this story. We have had a similar experience. There is nothing like it to build a testimony. Thank you for sharing yours with us.
I'm so glad that you were able to find a place that is family friendly and that feels like home! I bet you are so anxious to get back to Jeff and all be together again. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and testimony too. I know that I often take the little tender mercies of Heavenly Father for granted. He does know each of us and what the desires of our hearts are. I can't wait to read and see pics as you get settled into your new life there. Those of us stuck in this awful heat all summer can live vicariously through you! Be safe on the road!
It was fun to chat with you for a few minutes the other day. Even though we don't see each other much, I will totally miss having you in AZ! But like we talked about, you will LOVE Idaho and there is no better time to move up there than NOW!! I hope you have a big apartment because we want to come visit! :) Can't wait to see pics of the new home and town you live in.
Good luck and have fun!!
