Surprise!

Surprise #1: I'm pregnant. Yep, #5 is in the oven. I am due May 15 and can't wait to have another Spring baby. We are so excited to have another addition to our family and all of us are crossing our fingers for a little girl (except for Jared, who thinks we already have all the estrogen we need. Deep down though I think he really wants a girl). We are actually going to find out what we are having this go around, and we will find out in 2 days, so I will be sure to post when I know. I haven't been feeling like doing much of anything the past few months, especially blogging. So I am FINALLY going to try to catch up. Life has been busy, like it is for everyone. The girls have been busy with school and Josh is loving pre-school and Mrs. Purcell. I'm so glad he has had the opportunity to be in her class. She is amazing! He will miss her a ton.
Surprise #2: We are moving back to Idaho! Jared is taking over the Boise position because the former rep is taking another position within the company but is relocating to Phoenix. When the position opened up, Jared was given the opportunity. We thought that it would have been an easy decision, but decisions like those never are. After much prayer, we felt like we needed to be back home in Idaho. We will be moving the week after Christmas. Crazy, I know. The week after Thanksgiving we headed to Idaho to find a house and found one that we really like in Star. It is about 5 miles north of where we used to live and we are looking forward to being able to let our kids run and play and ride bikes without all the traffic zooming by. We are excited to be near family again, but sad to be leaving the great friends we have made here. I'm okay without the heat, though the weather right now is great, but we do miss the snow.
Not much for catching up, but it's a start, right? Merry Christmas to all!
