Time for Change

The last time we updated this crazy thing (January), we had just won the chili cook-off, and were preparing for a vacation. We had every intention to blog about the big trip (which included Dallas, Mississippi, and Seattle), but while we were out we got a long-awaited phone call…

…back in June 2008, Tim applied for a job with the federal government. After months of paperwork, interviews, praying and waiting we were told he was hired. They wanted us to start in April. We negotiated a start date that would allow us time to sell our home, wrap things up at our jobs, and prepare for such a big move. Three months ago, that seemed like plenty of time. Tim starts his new job in St. Louis on June 8. We are driving out of Fairbanks on Memorial Day weekend.

Today, we realize that next weekend will be our last in our home. The movers have come, the closing on the house will happen soon, we’ve notified our jobs. We’re continuing to look for a new home, a new job for Faith, and sadly, a new home for Harriett. About two years ago, this house looked a lot like it does today.

Here’s to big changes!

Just before they loaded up our stuff

Lots of neatly labeled boxes- just waiting to be unpacked! It'll be like Christmas!

We’ll keep you up to posted!
