The Move

I know that many people are already aware of this, but I have not made any large formal announcements. This forum is not a huge shout to the world about the goings on in my life either, but I like to get things out this way too. We are moving. We are leaving Blythe. We are leaving California. This state has been going downhill for a very long time and I have no desire to raise my children in it. 

Idaho

We are moving to Eagle Idaho. We have no family up there, though we do know a few people (four). The reasons for our move are simple and complicated. We wish to start on on own. Most importantly this is where God wants us. We have found a nice home to rent and hopefully will have an office space soon. It has been a little stressful and the worst part is the packing. We have too much stuff. I wish it were easier to get rid of things and downsize. My wife is better than it than I am by leaps and bounds. When we moved to Blythe we had a house that was over stuffed with junk. Now we have a house and an office to move. Plus we have 3 dogs, 6 chickens, and a goat. Since I graduated high school I have moved 13 times. This will be 14, and the last few times I have said they would be my last. I guess I should stop saying that because God keeps me moving. I enjoy the next adventure, just dislike the packing and unpacking of it all. 

You still might be wondering why Idaho? Months back when the idea of leaving California came to us we spent a lot time looking into other states that might work well for us. We considered Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Oregon, but settled on the second least populated state in the Union, Idaho. Without going into numerous details, it just felt right in every way. We have things that we would like to do with our family, that we can do up there that we cannot do anywhere else. Idaho is also still within a good days drive of most of our family, so we can still visit and so can they. 

That is all I have on the move at this point, except that we will be up there by April 1st.
