We Are Moving!!

Say what!?

Never in a million years did I ever think I would be leaving my Idaho home. It’s all I’ve ever known. I grew up here, and I’ve never lived more than 30 minutes away from my parents. I will now be going from 30 minutes to 4 hours.

I know, I know. It’s wild!

Riley and I have always talked about moving, but it was more just fantasy talk to escape our reality.

We’ve had people tell us we are making a mistake by moving. That we are selfish, and it’s not the right move.

As hard as it is to drown out their voices, we just brush it off. It still hurts, but we genuinely believe in our hearts that this is the best possible move for us.

After the intensive in March, a lot of things came to light for us. We want to be closer to Addo recovery. We want to be away from family but not too far. Only have each other to lean on. This move does not just benefit us as a couple. Our oldest child has more resources where we are going, to better help serve him and his needs.

We listed our house in mid-April. Within 4 hours, we got an offer above asking price. Of course, we took it.

That weekend we went to Utah to look at neighborhoods. We looked at places from Price, Provo, Orem, and Salt Lake. While there, Riley got called in for a job interview. How perfect! Our jobs will be within 5 minutes from each other. We made an offer on the house the next day. They rejected us. Things obviously can't go that smoothly.

We went down the next weekend and looked at homes.

Nothing!

What a wasted trip. But I kept thinking, if God wants us there, he will put us there. It will just be on his timing and not ours. The second we pull into our driveway, a new home is listed in our price range. Checks off all the boxes, and it's in our favorite area. We made an offer within an hour. The next day they accepted our offer.

Wow! That is fast. Is this real?

The home inspection happens a day later. Our house closes this week, and Riley starts his job on the 18th. How the crap did everything just fall into place in such a short amount of time!?

I message my work bestie, And his response made my heart swell.

”So that is great news! I will miss you tons! So you better not forget me!!! It is incredible to me how quickly the Lord makes things happen for us when the time is right! The time is right!!! I am glad we will still be besties no matter what!!!”-Mike ♥️

The time is right. I am incredibly excited but so sad. My big Mike is the main reason I have not only survived but thrived at my job. When someone believes in you and pushes you and stands by you no matter what, it is remarkable how far you will go.

I am unbelievably thankful that my job will allow me to transfer. It's honestly the best job I've ever had. I'm going to miss the people at this center so much.

I have been truly blessed in the past three years, and they have also been the hardest years of my life. It is time for a change. And change is what is happening. We are excited about our new adventures and will miss all of those we care about in Idaho. But it's only a few hours away.

Our next two weeks will be busy with packing and unpacking. You know, doing the whole moving thing.

Good bye Idaho. Hello Tooele Utah 😍

I love you! You are worth it, and deserve the best. Great things will come your way. It just takes time.

remember, I’m always here for you friend, and I’m cheering for you!

Much love,

Tiffany
