We're not in Kansas Anymore...

Alright as promised I am posting about why our life has been full of craziness lately.  We just moved from Kansas back to Pocatello, Idaho.  We had be throwing around the idea of moving for 2 months, but we didn't want to make such a big move without exploring other options.  So we were living in limbo for those months while we tried to figure out what was best. 

We found out some news about jobs Scott had applied for on a Thursday morning and by Saturday night we were all packed up and on our way back west.  We didn't want to waste anymore time in Kansas if that wasn't where we were supposed to live because we are literally counting down the days til baby girl comes. 
Yes, we did just move from Idaho less than a year ago and moved back across the country with a 2 year old and  a very very pregnant woman.  The trip went well as long as we stopped every couple of hours and let me walk around the truck.  We stayed in Utah with family for a couple of days while we looked for an apartment.  I am happy to say we are in our new place in Idaho all unpacked and ready for the arrival of our baby girl.

Why did we move back?  Things didn't work out as we had hoped with Scott's job in Kansas City, so we took the opportunity to reevaluate our family plans for the future.  We decided that it would be best for Scott to go back to school and pursue a Masters in Occupational Therapy.  He got accepted to ISU and will be taking 2 semesters of pre-requisites (since OT is very different than Construction Management) and then applying to the OT Program in January.

Hey! You are only an hour and 30 minutes away!!! Maybe we should plan a get together, (of course it'll have to be a ways away from now since you are just about ready to have a baby!) I would love to see you. And way to go Scott for going back to school.... I don't know if I could even though I hope to someday. Good luck!
