Well, in the past few weeks, there has been a lot of change in our lives, mainly a new career and a new place to live. Jason now works for the Valley County Sheriff's Department as a Patrol Deputy. He is still doing drywall on the side for extra money. He is REALLY loving it. He was excited to get a 98% on his gun certification test. He goes to POST sometime in January or February of 2009 (in Meridian) for 10 weeks. He is bummed that his 7-year bachelor's degree has to be put on hold for now, but so goes life sometimes! It is nice to be the recipient of benefits, especially being a government employee!
As for our new house. Well, the house we were renting up here got foreclosed on and our property manager told us that we had 30 days to move out. We prayed for help in seeking a place to live and the Lord blessed us with a FANTASTIC place. In the middle of 80 acres sits an old blue & white, 3-story farm house with a wrap-around porch, 4-car garage, workshop, orchard trees, pond, horse pastures, and all the storage space we could ever need! It is quite the place. Though not new and definitely not fancy, it is a place to call home for now. And hopefully for quite a while! And.... it was less money than the last "crack shack in the pumpkin patch" (so Jason called it) that we lived in. Now, we have PLENTY of SPACE for FAMILY to COME and VISIT and STAY!
So.... if you are itching to come to the mountains - to fish in the pond, to pick some fruit, to tube in the winter, to possibly ice skate, possibly ride horses, to camp, to ski, to snowmobile, to hike, or just to have a FUN time, this is the place! And... we would love to have you... any and all of you!
