We took a dive, sold our home in February, and was packed and moved the middle of March. Since Jarom is traveling, we just needed to live by an airport at this point. Where should we go? We felt very inspired to move to Georgia. Lots and lots of reasons started mounting in our minds, and we knew it was the right thing.

We spent two weeks in the Peck’s home(Jarom’s cousin), which is gigantic, and very nice with an indoor pool. We were waiting for our home to have some work completed(new construction), and moved in on March 29th. Life has been crazy, as Jarom “visits” us on weekends, and flew to WV to get the house packed up with the movers on the 28th, and then he flew back to his job Monday, and I unloaded with the movers in Georgia on that same Monday. We have had one wonderful experience after another though.

First off, the two weeks we were in the Peck’s home(Jarom didn’t visit that weekend, remember, because of movers), every single girl got sick, including me, and we all had our turns throwing up, except for Camden. It was so nicely spread out across two weeks too. Madison had to go to the emergency room for gashing her head on the rocks near the pool. We went on a couple of super fun field trips, including the Natural History Museum, and the Teaching Museum with lots of wonderful history. We also met a lot of wonderful people in our new ward the Sunday before we moved in, and they had meals to us all week, which was amazing to have! We also went to Piedmont Park in Atlanta(we live about 7 miles from the city), where it’s 6-8 acres of park, trees, trails, a pond, and an outdoor amphitheater where they do outdoor movies and concerts. We went with a family we just met and love, and had a spectacular time.

We enjoyed seeing Jarom Easter/Conference weekend, it had been two weeks, and we have missed him tremendously. We got the two other trucks full of our stuff April 5th(yesterday), a week after the first, and we are just about done unpacking! 8 days to unpack has got to be a record for me. As I was with the movers for a long time yesterday getting things where they needed to go, our sweet neighbor came over, who was watching her grandchild, played with my girls in our backyard, then went grocery shopping, and had the girls over for lunch, while sending my lunch over to me while I was working. Even though Jarom isn’t able to be here to unpack, the Lord has sent and inspired so many wonderful people to help us with meals, and play with the girls. It has been so great!

We are loving this area, and a new start. We are hoping and praying that Jarom will be able to find a job local after this current 4 month contract in Ohio, but for now, we are constantly grateful and know and have felt the Lord’s hand in all that we have done and are doing.

So here’s to starting school next week with the kids, learning a whole new curriculum called K12, more fun field trips and a whole new area to explore! Pictures will be posted eventually, they are on a computer that’s not hooked up-and they just need to be transferred to my mac already! But they’ll be coming!
