Exciting News and Big Changes!!

I can’t believe that July is more than half over already!! Time flies when you are having fun I guess! We have some exciting news that is going to change our lives in a big way! After much praying and planning, we are excited to announce that we are going to be moving to Pocatello in August! Rumel is going to be back to school at ISU in their college of Technology. He is in their Energy Systems Technology program going into their Electrical Engineering course. We are both really excited! It’s a little scary to think about going back to being poor college students, but this is what we know we are supposed to be doing so everything will work out. It will be nice to be closer to Rumel’s family and be about the same distance from mine.
So to recap the first half of July, our Fourth of July was great! We went up to Blackfoot that Thursday after work and spent 4 days with the family up there. Rumel’s youngest brother Troy, was home on leave for a few weeks and it was great to see him! That Friday we spent the day in Pocatello looking for a place to live. We are happy to say that we found a great little two bedroom, two bath apartment up by the Highland Golf course. Friday night we celebrated one of Rumel’s other brother’s, Tyler, birthday. Saturday and Sunday was spent hanging out with family and relaxing. We watched fireworks and set some off of our own. Then on Monday we went to Jensen’s Grove (a local lake in Blackfoot) and had a picnic with some of Rumel’s extended family. It was really windy that day so we didn’t get in the water but it was still great to spend time with the cousins, aunts, and uncles that we don’t really get to see.
Our next few weeks should be interesting. The 22nd was supposed to be my last day of work, but things are changing. I’ll still be working the first few weeks of August and then I’m going to work remotely from Pocatello for a little bit. My boss is trying to get the approval for me to work remotely permanently so keep good thoughts for us and we wouldn’t be unappreciative of prayers. But on the 23rd of July we are starting a 10-day vacation. We’ll keep you updated on everything!

We can't wait to have you here! That would be awesome if you could continue to work remotely for the same company. You have our prayers, for sure! We hope you enjoy your long vacation, and we can't wait to see your new apartment only one hour away from us! HOORAY!
