Last weekend I went to New Mexico to look for a house. After viewing 14 houses in 7 hours with a short lunch break we found the "ONE". We even made an offer and it was accepted. Sunday I came home and then Jacob and I started seriously discussing the realities of moving. We decided that I would stay in Utah until June, when Jacob finishes a 3 month military training in Texas. Then the kids and I will move to New Mexico. I know it sounds crazy, but there is no doubt in my mind that this is what our path should be. If I wasn't so confident about what our Heavenly Father wanted us to do it would be a lot harder, but I know if I go by my own plan sooner or later I wish I had just listened to those still, small promptings.
Jacob is home this weekend for his first visit. He lives with three others guys who also go home every other weekend. Their weekend actually starts Thrusday afternoon, so Jacob was home by 4:00 today and will stay until Sunday night.
The kids were sure excited to see him. Sometimes I forget that they miss him too and it is not just me.
While I was in New Mexico I said things like "Show me where you live" and "What do you like to do here". Not things you would normally say to your husband. It was kind of weird.
Good news I got a new cell phone that has a disk to save pictures on and put on the computer. Look for updated pictures soon. (Like next month!)

Alisha and Jacob, We hear through the grapevine that you will be coming to Denver for some training the beginning of the week. You are welcome to come stay with us! If you can't stay with us we would love to get together with you while you are here. Let us know how we can help. Love, Aunt Bree
I don't think I could do what you are doing! I hate when Eric goes away for a weekend once in a while! I could never do it by myself.
you mean stay in Utah until NEXT June?!? That wasn't just a mistype? Wow, you're amazing... and yes, that is the only way it could be done when you KNOW it's the right thing to do.
Did I read right, training in Texas? YOu should come out with him! :)
You are a brave woman! Good luck over these next months!!
You are very brave! If you get lonely please feel free to visit anytime or call me and we can get together.
Holy cow you guys are tough! That's all I've got to say. Love you!
