Vernal, here we come!

I just thought I'd let everyone know a little bit about what is going on with our moving. Brandon was contacted by the owners of a company called Contractor's Warehouse in Vernal, Utah. They wanted him to come be the manager of their new store there. It's a little bit of a scary thing, but could go really well, especially with the growth there due to the oil business. So, we felt like it was the right thing for our family, and put our house here on the market. Less than a week later, we got an offer! This is really amazing, considering 4 houses on our very street, 2 of them directly on either side of us, have tried to sell their houses in the past 6 months or so, and none have succeeded. I chalk it up to being blessed, pricing it right, and having a nice house. ;) We will close at the end of this month...so we know something could still go wrong with the sale of our house, but we're trying to have faith, not fear. (I've been listening to conference talks on my ipod when I run...Quentin L. Cook's talk has been sticking in my head...faith, not fear, faith, not fear....)

So, now we're facing the challenge of finding somewhere to live in Vernal! This is not an easy thing, since the growth there has driven the prices way up. Brandon leaves very early Monday morning to start work there, and will be searching daily for a house for us to rent, or buy if we must right now. I'm hoping for a 100 year old farmhouse with lots of charm, not in too much disrepair, on some acreage with lots of trees. And all for the right price. Am I asking for too much? ;)

We're excited to get there, and experience a new place, and live near such a neat temple. If anyone wants to come out to Dinosaurland, you can always have a place to stay... as long as we have a place to stay! ;)
