Well, we have some new changes coming up in our lives here in the next few months. First of all, we have a vacation planned at the end of August to go to the first "Johnston" family reunion. It's been quite a long time since we've had a vacation together. My siblings and I haven't all been together since 2007. And we've never had ALL of our kids together ever. I also have a nephew I've never met and a brother in-law I met once at my sister's wedding. We are going to be heading up to my parents time share in the NH White Mountains (the REAL white mountains...very different from the AZ ones). We are SO excited to go out there. We will have a 12 month old, 17 1/2 month old, a 2 1/2 year old, two three year olds and a four year old!! It's going to be nutz, but SO much fun! We all can't wait!
Now for the life changing thing going on....we're moving to...........

I know, some may think we're crazy, but it's true. We had a great opportunity open up to us to move into a four bedroom house there that Kylann's aunt owns. After months and months of praying as to what to do when our lease is up at the end of October, and only a week or two after we went to the temple (for the first time in a VERY long time), this opened up to us. His aunt said she had us on her mind for a couple of months for some reason and decided to just talk to us about it. It was a definite answer to our prayers and we immediately felt good about it. Now the problem is, we need a job. I know we kind of got it backwards. If anyone knows of anything opening up out there, please let us know. Kylann would prefer to get back into management somewhere. He also plans on attending school out there soon. We never wanted to move to Utah, nor did we ever think we would end up out there, but it's going to happen and we're excited for it. We're also a little nervous for this change in our lives and really sad to leave family and friends, but we know that the Lord is watching out for us and he'll prepare a way for us.

WOW!! That is a huge life change!! But if God is behind it then going "backwards" wont matter one bit!! Happy packing!!
That's so exciting Jenn! Chad and I keep saying someday we're going to do the same thing...just move somewhere and hope to find a job once we get there. It's hard to find someone who will hire you if you need to relocate. When Kylann applies make sure he puts the Provo address on there so they know he's local. I'm sure this will work out and Kylann will find something. I'll let you know if I hear about anything up that way.
Well, we can't leave unless he has a job. We don't really have the savings for that kind of thing. I wish we could do that! I'm so ready to get out of this heat!! We just hope and pray that we find something before our lease is up. Thanks for keeping an ear out.
Yea! Jenn, I'm so happy for you that you get to leave that awful apartment. And a house no less! Best of luck finding a job. We are in the same boat (the finding a job part, though I wish we had a house to move too already!). Mike's had some interviews and things look promising, so we'll see. Our lease is up at the end of August, and I really hope we can get out of here by then. We'll see.
I cry every time I think about it but I KNOW it's for the best and I am so HAPPY for you!!! I know the Lord is looking out for you and it will work out. One day I hope to move too only not to Utah I am hoping Cali:)
I have to say, I'm a little jealous. I LOVED living in Provo. Yes, I was going to school at the time, but I think it's really easy to feel comfortable in Provo. The weather's great, it feels like everything you need is really close. I miss it. Good luck finding a job! I'm sure that if this is where you're meant to be going that you'll have a job in no time.
so glad your blog is public again, because I just now saw this post. I'm so excited for our reunion. I didn't realize that you only met James once at my wedding! how crazy! Love you sistah!
