LAS VEGAS, Here We Come!
It's now official. We are moving to Las Vegas! In early December Jared's company went through a realignment and his territory was absorbed and as a result of that he was "displaced." So for the past month and a half he has been without a job and able to be here with us! I've loved having him home and would keep it that way if it weren't for the fact that we do need an income to sustain us. It has been very nice to be able to run errands or go play volleyball without having to bundle up the kids and drag them from place to place. It has definitely been a trial, but it has also made us stronger. We have relied on our faith and we know that things will work out and that we'll be where we need to be at this point in our lives. We have seen so many blessings come and our testimonies have been strengthened tremendously. I know that our Father in Heaven hears and answers our prayers and that it is often through other people that our prayers are answered and our needs met. We are so grateful for all of those who have helped us out, anonymously or not. We have realized how generous people really are. It's been a very humbling experience and Jared and I have been overwhelmed with people's kindness, especially those in our ward, our families, and close friends. We love you all and thank you for your love, concern, and support. We would prefer not to move because we absolutely love where we are and we love our ward, but there are also parts of us that are excited for a new adventure and to meet new people. We'll miss having Jared's family so close, but we know that we will grow closer as a family and have to rely on one another more. I believe that things happen for a reason and I'm excited for our new adventure. We'll probably be here for another month before packing up and taking off which will give us a chance to enjoy the cold before heading to the heat (I welcome the thought of that right now, but I'm not so sure I'll feel the same way in 4-5 months). So that's that. Wish us luck! Bring on the scorpions!

I am sorry that you have had such a trying time. You are all such a wonderful example of a loving and faithful family, you will do great in Las Vegas. You will be truly missed here. Best of Luck. Keep blogging, I love seeing your cute kids!
Well, with a heavy heart I say "Good Luck". I know that you and your family will have a wonderful excperience where ever you are and the people that you will meet are some of the luckiest in the world. We will miss you especially next time we go backpacking. Bailee will miss you as her Sunbeam teacher too. Thanks for all you have done for our family and your friendship. I hope that our paths will cross again someday.
Lori! Holy cow~I had no idea! I wish I could just give you a big hug. We're not even there and I hate to think of you leaving dear old Darmady Loop! How many times have we run down that street?? :) How exciting to be on to a new adventure though~you will be amazing wherever you go. Keep us posted~love you!!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe how many people I have heard of that are leaving the Boise area lately. I pray that all works out for you. You are an amazing person and I feel so lucky to have known you...good luck with everything. It will all work out great I'm sure.
From some one who has been delt a very similar situation not too long ago I wish you guys the best of luck!
Moving stinks especially leaving such a great area and great friends. (that was probably the hardest part) But I know you guys will do great in Vegas! Best of luck!!!

NO!!! Say it ain't so!!! I sure hate to see you guys leave! I know you have to go...and darn that $$$ huh! Wish you could stay...but like everyone else said...you guys will do awesome wherever you are!!! The ward there will LOVE you!!! And I am sure they will put you both RIGHT to work!!! Love ya!!!
Lori, I had no idea you had been going through that! I am so sorry. It's always hard to leave a place that you have connections to but the adventure of starting over and making new friends is so exciting. I really think you will like Vegas. I am excited because Vegas is only 4 hours from Phoenix! We will definitely have to plan some trips to see each other now! YEAH!
So much for finding a long lost friend! Vegas is a different world then Idaho. Best of luck on your adventures.
Hey Lori, We will have to come visit you guys! vegas is only 4 5 hrs away. It's amazing how strong we all are when we have to be. I think everything happens for a reason too. Believe me that has been my moto for the last year. It'll all work out. Good luck!! we love you guys!
I am sad you guys are leaving too. You will be missed! I do think that you will like Las Vegas though. They have the best Parks and Rec program and the libraries are wonderful! Also the church is so strong there - we loved our ward there. Let me know if your have any questions about Vegas. I wasn't there for too long, about a year, but I can let you know the good areas to look for places to live etc. Anyway good luck with everything!
Totally bring on the scorpions. I'm glad you are moving South because now when we drive home to visit San Diego we can stop by Vegas to see you!!!
We sure will miss you guys. Good luck with everything in Vegas!
