We moved to Seattle January 2010 after Merrill graduated from BYU. With his job, there was supposed to be lots of opportunity to move up. But these opportunities seem to be vanishing and getting pushed out further and further down the road. Not to mention the lack of hours he has been getting, and the pay raise freeze (who knows how long that'll last.
So, after me getting a job, and a lot of discussions, research, and job hunting... Merrill has found a new job. This job has better opportunity (that is more realistic), more hours, and better pay. And its close to family, in fact the shop is around the corner from my Dad's shop. That's right, we are moving to Oregon. He starts the new job at the beginning of May, so we are moving at the end of April.
We are said to leave our friends here in WA, we have some awesome friends. Its gonna be hard to find more friends that are as Great.
I have had a great part time job, it's the position I have wanted forever. Its super easy, great doctor, and they've paid me well. I've never had all of "it" till now, if only I had this job before I had Darci. Even though this is such a great job, I was actually excited and relieved when I was able to tell them that I was leaving. I've just wanted to be able to be a stay at home mom. I took advantage of it before I went back to work, I didn't realize how much I REALLY loved it and needed to be home. I can't wait till we get settled in a new place and this baby comes. We'll stay at my mom and Dad's till we can find a place and get a bit more caught up on bills and such.
One step at a time, we have a lot going on this year, just trying to focus on finishing our jobs and then get our stuff packed and organized to move and store. We're not looking forward to the moving, but very much looking forward to the move.
And what's a blog post without some pics of Darci..
She got into her clothes and put a Dress around her neck and a skirt on her head.
Hands in her pockets
BUBBLES!!
