Job Nibbles and Gratitude

As of today, Steve appears to have 3 pretty serious job leads, he is on at least his second interview with each. They are in Idaho falls- Idaho, Lexington- KY and Tuscan- Arizona. That is right, I keep saying there is major change coming and big decisions. There are pros and cons to each.
We appreciate all of your concern and prayers.
This has been a sweet opportunity to recognize the tender mercies of God through the kindness of you and others. It has been an eye opener of what is important. We feel humble and although we get nervous about the decisions and prospect of moving, the bitterness is gone.

My vote is for Idaho Falls. You guys would be fairly close to us, I think about 2 hours! It would be fun to get together more often. I'm so glad there's several options for you guys!

Im so sorry that they are all so far away, but glad that you got some serious leads. I know how that is. So good luck with whatever you end up doing. I know that wherever you go you will be blessed and for some reason we have to go through these trials. Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide! It was good to hear what is going on. Talk to you later.

Hi Mandy, I truly know where your coming from reguarding the move and job changes. I thought moving my 5 small kids to New York was going to put me over the edge (actually it did) but we all survived. It was the best thing to do at the time, yet the worst thing to do. A bitter sweet time in our little family. Life will always be an adventure. That is what molds our character. There is no Testimony without the TEST. Love you

I'm glad you have some good offers, but I'll sure miss you at work. You were so much fun to work with. I hope it all works out for the best for you guys. Good Luck!

I am so glad that you have had some offers. Steve is such a good person, it would be hard to find someone not willing to hire him. We will continue to pray for you guys and hope everything works out. I can't wait to see Halloween pictures of your kids.

I'm so happy that things are working out! BUT I must say I'm super sad that none of those leads are in UTAH!! I will miss you guys too much :(

I hope you get the job you want. Too bad none of the leads are in Cedar. That is still my dream place to live. You should look up here in Vancouver Wa. We love it up here too! Brian grew up in Idaho Falls, and he turned out OK! Good luck with everthing.

I am so happy that you have some leads. Do you have any idea how long you have before you make a decision? It was nice having you a little closer, I am still hoping for something that would put you across the street, even though you would not be happy to be here. Anywhere you go, its nice to know that you are never too far away. I am sure that you guys will make the best decision and I am happy for Steve, it has got to feel good to have options.

Of course wer'e hoping for wherever you feel is best, but in our hearts Lexington sounds great with tuscon as a 2nd.

Chris here.
Well, that's awesome that you've got some serious leads. However, I would like to remind you that the best jobs are ALL in central Oklahoma, and we're looking forward to your inevitable move here. Anyway, congrats again, and GOOD LUCK. We pray you guys find what you want and know that you deserve all the best.

Dad comes to Utah!
