Andy's cousin Mandy (not blood related)called last week and said her husband took a job in Las Vegas and they had to move. They don't want to sell their house because they are planning to come back in 2 years. Long story short , they had been praying about what to do and so had we. We have to move out of our house and we haven't been able to find anything in this same area. We ran into Tom , Mandy's brother last week while we were out looking at rental homes. He apparently called her and she immediately called us.
The house is 4000 sqft on 24 acres on land. It has a pool out back .....YaY I'm getting a pool !! Andy, of course is on "cloud 9" because they have to leave their animals. 4 horses and 10 cows. The house has so many awesome things that we will be very blessed to use ! We can't believe this will be our home in 2 weeks. Now you all better be coming to visit us, this house will be so lonely with our little family. We are planning on having lots of pool parties. There is also a double tree house that is so big it is connected by a deck in the middle with a zip line . There is a separate mother in law apartment above the garage........So get your airline tickets now :~)
We have to switch Wards which will be hard, I like our Ward , we have lots of friends and family that we will miss. Now we will be in a Branch instead of a Ward so it's a lot smaller . I am nervous about moving Emily. She has been so aware of her home and the town we live in . She could probably get to all "our " places by herself. The town we are moving to is called Slaughter (I know awful) there isn't even a grocery store so our actual town that we frequent won't change . Slaughter is only about 5 miles from here . BUT ........I'm nervous about her saying to me "we need to go home" ! We have been talking to her about it and telling her about the animals and that she gets to have chickens and horses now. I was packing last night and she said to me "mom, what are you doing to this place"? Sorry the pictures aren't too clear but I will post more once we move in!

I'm so jealous you have a pool!! I told Craig if we ever move back to TX we have to have a pool. Emily will have so much fun at your new place. I hope the transition goes okay for her.
I am SOOOOOOO Happy for you!!!! And HORES!!!!! I am also green with ENVY!!!! Lol j/k....Kids are resiliant so I bet Emily will adjust quickly! I love stories where prayers are answered!!!
It makes me sad that y'all will be moving out of the ward. I guess we will have to come visit more often since here lately the only time we get to see y'all is at church. I'm sure you will be doing alot of laying out!!
