Here we go...AGAIN!!!

WARNING! Long Post!
Ok so I can't honestly believe that I am writing this post but I am so happy, scared, sad, excited, and crying as I write this all at once! (If that's possible!) I am writing this before they come and disconnect my internet so here goes! Today we are packing up and moving out of our house. I am so sad to leave all of my good friends and neighbors that we have met here. I am so thankful for all of you and for everything that anyone has ever done for our family! We have loved living here and will greatly miss it and all of you and your sweet families! I know I said this before but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! It would take me too long to list all of the things and people that I am grateful for so I won't but know it's been appreciated! Thanks especially to the Kelly's for helping us get in to Stoneridge and for being such good friends to us and for always being willing to help out with Macee and for helping me try to be crafty! (it's still a work in progress!) We have really enjoyed spending time with you guys and hopefully we can come visit or you can come visit us in Ephraim! Yes I said Ephraim which brings me to our next adventure! It's a big surprise to our little family because we had a lot different plan in mind but we couldn't be happier! Last week Roger was looking on Snow Colleges website and he saw that the Activity Center Manager job was open and he asked me if he should put in for it. I said it can't hurt and we have always talked about moving back there someday so why not. He sent his application and they called him and wanted to set up an interview for Wed. (yesterday) so he said he could do it over the phone so they said ok. He had his interview yesterday and he knew 4 out of the 5 people that interviewed him from the last time we lived there and he worked at the college. He said he felt good about it but didn't want to get excited because they told him they probably wouldn't decide until next Wed. He told them we were moving and kind of the situation that we were in and they said they would get back to him by Friday. We talked about it last night and tryed to figure out what we should do as far as the move went and I think we both just decided to let things play out and that whatever happened was what was supposed to. We prayed that whatever Heavenly Father wanted us to do we would. We got up early this morning to go get our big moving truck so that we could get all of our stuff packed up and while Roger was in getting all the paper work signed he got a phone call. He came outside and just kind of had a shocked look on his face like he didn't know what had just happened. I was thinking they had messed up our reservation and that we weren't going to have a truck. He said "I got the job." I said what is going on? He said Bob just called me and asked me if I wanted the job and I told him I did so I have to be to work in Ephraim on Tuesday! Me being the bawl baby I am immediately burst into tears out of happiness and shock and every other emotion I could ever think of! So back to Badger territory we go! We definitely got an answer to our prayers! Roger has been wanting a job like this ever since I have known him and there are going to be a lot of opportunities for him to move up at the college!
On another note I am sad not to be moving closer to my family but 1 hour is still better than 4 right???!!! All of my friends up there too I am sad I won't get to hang out with you more too but I will be a lot closer and trust me I will be up there a lot! Macee and I will still be living with my parents for a couple weeks until we can find a place in Ephraim and I have Macee in swimming lessons in Lehi so we will be there for a couple weeks and Roger will stay with his family and start work. Back to good old Sanpete county we go! I will have to get a lot of shopping in before I move back since all there is is good old Wal-Mart!
Anyone who reads this post just know that whoever you are I am so grateful to you and for the impact that you have had on our family whether it be BIG or small! We love you all and are so thankful that you are in our lives! Thanks for all of the prayers that have been said on our behalf!
We love you all!! Love, Roger Holly and Macee

wow I have been so confused for a while. I didn't even know you were planning on moving back here until a little while ago. Never mind about seeing you in st. george in aug. You were probably like what is she talking about? Well I'm sad you wont be here now but that is so exciting that roger got the job he has been wanting for for so long. I'm happy for you guys, that is really good news!

No comment necessary because I called you while I was reading this. Did you make it safely? Are you freezing? Call me with all your new info... address, e-mail, anything and everything. Miss you already.

Erin said...

Yeah. That is so exciting. Isn't life so fun, with so many changes and surprises. I am sad that you won't be in Lehi but Ephraim does hold a special place in my heart. I am going down next weekend (the 30th) to Orem. Lets get together.

Sad but exciting at the same time! I think it will be good for you guys. We will just have to make the most of the time you are up here!

Kaylin said...

Wow!! That's awesome! I'm really happy for you guys! It sounds like you're definitely on your way to bigger and better things. I'm sad you won't be closer, but we'll work it out to get together when you are in town! Love you- good luck with the new adventures!!

Believe in Happily Ever After and it will come true!
