Moving, Moving is what we do best!



We've moved a lot lately. In February, we moved to Southern Utah because Chris got a better job that was less stressful. We loved his work schedule. He worked from 7:00 am until 3:30 pm. It was nice to have some quality time together after he was done with work. We lived right by Chris' parents. It was great because I got to have someone to talk to during the day and Christian got to know Chris' parents better.

A few weeks after going South, Chris noticed an IT opening up in Portland and decided to apply for it. He didn't think he would have any chance of getting it. Chris flew to Portland for the interview and everything went well. A week later they offered him the position. After only being in Southern Utah for two months, we made the move to the Portland area. We live in Vancouver, Washington just across the Columbia river and Oregon border from Portland.

So many people, in so many ways have recently demonstrated their kindness through service. For example, the Elders quorum in Vancouver helped us move some of our heavy stuff into our apartment. This was a blessing as we were so tired from moving box after box, there wasn't much left in personal energy tanks. Our family spent many hours helping us load up and clean at our home in Utah. To anyone who helped us move, thanks. A special thanks goes to Chris' parents for allowing us to live next to them and spoiling us.
