Changes

So last week, James gets a phone call telling him he should apply for a job. ATB has kinda been humming and hawing around him, so he decided to apply for it. Well, the next day he had a phone call, the next week an interview, 4 days later......the job. What job do you ask??? The Bank Manager of 1st Choice Savings here in town. When ATB transfered him here, we were told that it would be a 18 month to 2 year deal but a part of me always thought we would be here for longer. Which is ok, I'm really ok with it. Cardston is ok, it could be worse. Anyway, we chatted, we prayed, went to the temple and feel good about it so he took it. He is really excited about it. It'll be such a good experience for him, get him the experience he needs for the future. This does mean though that we will be here for longer. How much longer?? I do not know, sometimes I feel like for life but I'm kinda ok with that. I hated it here for a while but I think now, I'm just used to it. I love some of the people here and the temple is so close and it really is ok. So many changes will be coming in our future and I'm excited and a little scared. Going into the unknown is always a little scary but it'll be ok. For a little while I have been feeling trapped, like we were stuck, going nowhere and now I feel like there is a future and the block in the road has been removed. I'm excited for the next chapter in our lives and I'm proud of my husband for not being afraid of going after what he wanted and for reaching his goal and I wonder how many times I can say "it'll be ok" ? Maybe one more time.....it'll be ok.

I am so happy for you guys! I think this will be so great! Plus all my friends that grew up in Cardston still love it there.
What we would give to have a temple close by - we have to drive 3 hours. It's an all day trip and to find someone to watch Blake for a full day is pretty hard! You are lucky!

I really don't care where James got a job all that matters is that you are still here...like really who else would I borrow eggs from?
