Moving?

I think I forgot to post about the latest update with Lance's schooling. Since the beginning of the year we've been letting the cat out of the bag: Lance has a job offer after school is done! We have known since September but haven't told anybody because we knew so far in advanced that we didn't want to get our hopes up if things didn't work out. We will be staying right here in the good old state of Idaho, working for White's and Reynolds where he currently works. He will be the Advanced Planning Specialist (and a funeral director) mainly setting up pre arranged funerals. We have no idea what he'll be making or any other details. That's all we know, that he has a job. When he told me I was so excited I started to cry because back in September we were so financially strapped and stressed, this news was like fresh rainfall after a forest fire.

I've been so anxious to move. The house we're in now is the longest we've ever stayed in one place, two years and 5 months, and it's killing me. I love to move and I love change but this is such a huge blessing to have a job that I'm not going to be picky. So all the young women and others in the ward that have asked, we're staying right where we are at.

The frustrating thing is that our "licensed date" keeps getting pushed back. Last year we were supposed to be done at the end of August and found out Lance had to do another year of school. Since then the date has always been May 31 of this year. We recently found out that the state only offers the board exams twice a year, so we have to wait until July. Lance has been trying to contact the board for verification of all this but to no avail. We are waiting to see on that for sure. So frustrating.

But we're almost done, right?!?!

Yay for almost being done!! And the ward I'm sure is so excited that you aren't moving anytime soon.

I have a favor of Lance if possible--I don't know how else to get a hold of him. I'm putting together a book of memories and pictures of Slim's throughout the years and am trying to round up memories from employees. I know Lance has some good stories and still talks to a lot of the old gang...can you help me get the word out? I'm hoping to have everything a week from Friday. karissad atgmail.com
