On the Move

Hello Friends, July has been a whirlwind. It began with cleaning out and up the house in preperation for a momentous occasion (mot a baby). On July 8th we put the house up for sale. That's a lot of work, and paperwork. But hopefully it pays off (pardon the pun). We are planning to head to Estacada Oregon Brigs home town and we are very excited. However we also were preparing for vacation. We left fraziled and excited at 8:30pm on Monday July 7th and headed west. We drove all night and then stoped to see good friends Michele (we missed you Chris) and the kids Roberts. It was wonderful to see the kids playing toegether again and to see Michele again. We are excited to live closer to ya'll. We also called this our temple trip and tryed to stop at the temples along the way, (we missed Twin Falls and hopefully will hit billings on the way home). It was so much fun to see the kids light up at the sight of the angel Moroni (lliam's favorite person) and see the running around the grounds. We headed to Estacada with a Uhaul for storage and spent a wonderful week with Grandparents Baird. The kids went to the zoo for the first time ever too. We saw a bunch of family. We also saw tons of old friends. Brig has his 10 year class reunion, and we were able to have dinner with Matt and Heidi Seal and John and Michelle Seal, we are excited to live closer to ya'll too. Then we headed back to Idaho for a family Reunion that starts tomorrow. Family truly is the treasure and friends are gems! We are so blessed and the Lord is guiding us to where he needs us and I am so grateful for his leading hand. Please pray that our house sells quickly and that we can quickly find a good job too. We know that it is in the best hands possible, The Lords. 1 Nephi 3:7 has taken on a new and personal meaning for our family and we testify that he truely provides a way for us to fulfill all his commandments and promptings.

We hope all goes well with the house and move and job. Sorry we never reply with Christmas cards, time seems to just get away. We do enjoy getting yours. You have a wonderful family.

Hey I have been wanting to call you but our weekends have been crazy lately. Too bad cell phones don't have free minutes during the week. I hope things are going well with selling the house. I am so glad that we were able to see each other last month.

TYRA!
It was so fun to read about you two! We just got back from Egypt at the beginning of July and are so happy to be back in fabulous America (although Egypt was great and we are so happy that we went!) We are now in NE Colorado and hope to settle down here. So far so good! I start work at an Elementary school on Monday and Mark will be subbing and putting the finishing touches on his thesis. I am glad that you guys are doing well and wish you the best with everything!
