From Big City to Small Town

Many of you already know that our little family has moved from Las Vegas to Idaho. This all came about quite suddenly and completely unexpected. Nathan was all registered to take the Nevada BAR this summer and we were planning on staying in Las Vegas for another couple of years, but with the economy the job that Nathan really wanted in Nevada was having a hiring freeze, and their weren't a lot of prospects. When Nathan's family was in town for his graduation, his mom mentioned an attorney in Blackfoot was looking for a bilingual lawyer to start taking some of his work load and hopefully, eventually take over his firm so that he could retire. We jumped on the opportunity, made a couple trips up there, and Nathan got a job offer that we feel really good about. He starts July 1st, so we immediatley packed up our stuff and came up to Idaho to start looking for a place to live. Nathan is flying to Vegas in a couple of weeks to bring up all our furniture, and then we will officially be out of Las Vegas.
I never thought that I would ever live in Idaho, especially Nathan's home town, but we are both excited to be here, and it feels like the right thing for us. Right now we are going to rent a house in Pocatello to give us some time to look for a house to buy. We will REALLY miss our friends in Las Vegas, but we are so excited to be in a beautiful, smaller and less hectic and hot of a place, and we are happy to be close to our families. It's amazing how quickly things can change!

Congrats! I thought I would never live in Idaho either and Michael did his Master's at Idaho State in Pocatello...so I guess never say never. :-) We lived there 2 years and I've been to Blackfoot twice. Once each year to the big fair that is around Labor Day! Good luck on your new journey! :-)
