Yes, Montana! Yes, in 27 days!
We are all feeling a bit nervous about this big change in our lives. I am thrilled one minute, and sad the next. Snowflake has been Davids' home since birth, and has become home to me in the last eight years we have lived here. We live in an incredible neighborhood, the churchs' best ward, and are surrounded by a loving extended family.
Moving to Montana will undoubtedly be a HUGE change for us. We don't know yet where we will live, how our ward will be, and will not have any family within hundreds of miles of us. So, yes, we are excited, but also sad. And it may explain much of my distraction, busyness, emotional outbursts, and overall stress that you may have noticed in me.
It is a bittersweet thing, but we are looking forward to growing closer and stronger as our own family, becoming better missionaries, making lots of new friends, and the stability and security this job will bring.

I JUST heard this yeterday and I'm pretty sad not excited just sad. I am glad for your family though. There is no better feeling than having a good stable job. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY HELP WITH ANYTHING. Your kids are more than welcome to come hang out if you need a few hours just to get stuff done. New adventures are always stressful BUT so fun. Good luck and KEEP IN TOUCH when you leave.
Wow, what big news! I had no idea you guys were looking for something different. I will agree that it is hard to be far away from family, and hard to live in a cold climate (especially for your Arizona-loving soul!), but there are so many positive things about this change--many you already mentioned.
What a crazy time to move! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. The job opportunity sounds like a great one.
Good luck, and keep us all posted!
Wow Exciting, but we'll miss you! Guess what! I am from Billings! I will get my very good friend (like another mom to me) in touch with you, her name is Myrna Hammer, she and her family are very active in the church and she would love to help you out and welcome you into town. I will get you her number and give her yours too. Also my brother lives there, they are not LDS, but maybe once you get settled if you live close to them I can get my nephews and Nathan hooked up, my nephews I think are 3rd and 4th grade. Let me know if you need help packing or cleaning!
Val we are excited for you guys. I love your post and love your little family.
Montana is GREAT (and Cold)! Your friends become your family and you are so lucky to have a temple right there in town...growing up ours was 6hrs away. I LOVE MT!!!! Kind of wish it was us moving...just not to Billings ;) I HOPE you love it!
