We've been preparing for a while to move to Henderson, NV (Las Vegas area). I haven't posted about it because we've been so busy. We're moving two weeks from today, but we will be loading a U-Pack trailer on the 12th. It's getting close and we're starting to get anxious. We are sad to be leaving McCall, my family, and all of our friends here, but we know this is what we need to be doing, so we're excited to start fresh. We are grateful for the guidance we have received and we know that this will be a good move for us, even with the uncertainty involved. The plan, in case you are wondering, is to stay with Jared's mom & fam until we can get our own place. Jared will work his buh-dunk-a-dunk off for a while to get us on our feet, then in January he will start school, probably at the community college nearby. I will stay home and spend some good time with Selah and then after the baby is born in December I'll stay home with two kids. I'm really excited to put more of my attention into parenting. It has been nice to work with Jared here at the motel, but I can feel the strain it puts on Selah with all the interuptions from the phone and guests arriving at all hours of the day. It will be nice to have the option of not answering the phone when I'm trying to put Selah down for a nap or in the middle of family prayer and family home evening. I think the best part will be that we will have days off and not be working 7 days a week. Right now even on our days off, we're only off for 7-10 hours of the day. In the almost 2 years we've been here, we've had a total of 9 full days off (meaning we were off for 24 hours at a time). It's kinda started to wear on us a little. No need to complain though because it's been really good for us in a lot of ways and it will help us appreciate things when they change.
Anyway, sorry for all the words without pictures, but sometimes they are needed. Thanks for reading!

Congratulations on a new beginning! Now when Selah grows up and people ask her where she's from, Idaho will be special and exotic. :)
And congratulations on the future new baby boy! How exciting. I'm sure you'll all find lots of beautiful scenic spots outside Vegas to go for your family walks. Thanks for sharing all the news, I enjoy keeping up with you this way.
Love,
