Our crazy move...again

Ok, so I haven't updated this forever. Obviously. Where do I start? We moved to Rexburg in July, sold the house in August (I bawled!) and made our adventure to a new job/career for Justin. I was NOT excited at all to move to Rexburg, or anywhere else for that matter. We loved our home and all our friends here in Idaho Falls. The first couple months in Rexburg weren't too bad, the job seemed to be going well and the kids were fine. Until school started. Sigh. Andrew was ok the first couple weeks but then started having panic attacks every night at bedtime and every morning when it was time to go to school. It broke my heart and made me even more mad that we were in Rexburg in the first place. So we were dealing with that, and the insurance job Justin took started to go sour. Mostly because of his agency manager, who has no business being a manager. The poor economy didn't help things either. So by mid-October we decided to move back to Idaho Falls, if Justin could find another job. He went back into the school district office where he had previously been employed for three years to see if there was any way they could hire him somewhere, with the school year already started. He went in on a Friday and by Monday had a formal contract. Hooray for teaching special ed! He's always needed. So he is teaching again, not at the same junior high he was before, but out at an elementary school. He wasn't sure he would like the age difference, but he really loves it. We had to buy another house, obviously, and got a really good deal on a home just a few blocks from our old one. Andrew is back at the school he attended kindergarten at, with all his little friends. He's MUCH happier and so are all of us. All our friends are still really close since we are not very far from our old house. That has made a huge difference, especially for me. I was so depressed in Rexburg. It's really clique-ish there and people are arrogant. Oh well. Live and learn. Christmas was interesting, we moved into the new house the day after. But we had a great Christmas with the kids and tried to not think about the move. The boys are growing up so fast!!! Carter will be three in a couple weeks, Brenden turns 5 the end of February and Andrew turns 7 April 3rd. I have lots of pictures, but they aren't ready to post just yet. I will get to that hopefully soon, just like I have been meaning to paint my kitchen for a week. It's all taped and ready to go, I just have so many other things going on. Phew! Hopefully that's a decent enough update. Our new address for anyone who wants it is:
1120 Merrett Drive
Idaho Falls, ID 83404.
Just don't send any anthrax-laced letters....
