Major Announcement...

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Dear Family and Friends,

Many of you have sensed that some big changes have been looming on the horizon for our family. We are thrilled to announce that it's now official- our family will be moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I am excited to confirm that I have accepted the position of Director of Admissions and Recruitment at the University of New Mexico beginning July 1st.

We have been blessed with a deep and abiding testimony that our Heavenly Father truly watches over his children and prepares opportunities that are beyond ourselves.

Now the serious work begins as we sell our home and make the move to New Mexico. It will be difficult to say goodbye to wonderful friends we have made in Pocatello, the last two years have been incredible, but we are excited to start a new chapter in a "land of enchantment".

Deep thanks and appreciation go out to wonderful friends and family who have had us in their thoughts and prayers.

What!!? Albuquerque!!? Why am I always the last to know? Is it something I said? It's because I couldn't find the "Pocatello's" in your last post, isn't it? You were planning on telling me, weren't you? Oh, I knew this was going to happen. It's all my fault...

Overall, I think I'm taking this really well.

Yay!!!!! :) You have no idea how excited I am about this move! Albuquerque is basically halfway to Utah from where we are. We drive right through it on the way to Utah!!! You will undoubtedly get visits from us and probably my mom a couple of times a year! I'm already inviting us... :) Congrats, I hope this move works out wonderfully for you!

Congratulations! This must be why you "vacationed" there a little while back. We were wondering why on earth you would choose to go there -- no offense to your new digs. :)

Congrats Scott. You have a dream job in my world. What a wonderful opportunity. Enjoy! You look good in Red. I love the photo shop. Anyway, best wishes in your upcoming adventures.

You'll actually be close enough to join us for Thanksgiving if you choose too! So cool.

So can you hook a cousin-in-law up with a sweet football recruting gig? I know...I'm shameless.

I'm so excited for your family. I think you'll find the weather a little more temparate.

Wow. Albuquerque, culture shock.

Cngrats on the job! That's sound so big and official and exciting! I hope you like the desert and Spanish and Mexican food and Road Runners and stucco...but then again you've just been there so you know. You will be close to Carlsbad Caverns -- our kids loved that place! You will have to someday plan to take a cruise out of Galveston. We are just a drive East on the I-10. (For about 19 housr.) :) So excited for you all! New Mexicao is lucky to get you!
