Lots to Say....

As I write this bare with me....I am sure I will be all over the place....

So many emotions come as I write about some newly updates....

1- Cody's mom has been diagnosed several months ago with terminal cancer and there is no treatment that was coming close to stopping it or even slowing it down. So the family decided to do a research for all the other people to come one step closer to a cure..... She had a week before she was to get on the plane and start this research and they denied her last minute.....As we lose hope she went back to her Salt Lake doctor and did some more tests.....Come to find out that her cancer spots in her lungs have not grown and she is holding strong.....She has eight weeks to enjoy the family and life before she does a new research study. So please keep the prayers coming as they get a little closer to Finding a cure and for Brenda's strength.

2- I Graduated from College.....YAY!!! It was exciting and I took it all in....Too see my family there and the pride they felt in me was overwhelming at times..... Everyone around me in the graduating class were crying and I was thinking why???? But after grad I saw Katelyn holding thumbs up and Austin blowing kisses and Bryce waving like he was so proud....I lost it and said this is why I did what I did and I do what I DO!!! After we came to my house and had a little celebration with my gmas and aunts and parents.....Over and over I heard I am proud of you!!! Ans to hear it from my dad, WOW!! Every daughter wants to hear that!!! My mom wrote me a nice card that I couldn't even read all the way through cause I was an emotional wreck!! It feels good to do something for myself and to make so many people proud along the way....So I am officially a college graduate....

3- Austin is trying out for All Star Baseball!!! He is awesome!! He is the only 6 year old that is trying out and let me tell you that out of 25 kids, he is top 12!!! He is so athletic!! All he talks about, dreams about and after school all he wants to do is play or watch baseball!!! Cody had to play 7 hours with Austin and his friend on Saturday after his first day of tryouts!!! Holy smokes There arm had to have been tired!!!

Next issue is a little touchy to me......Cody is losing his job in Boise Idaho....I know as you read that you say, what are you gonna do now!!! Well, the answer is we are moving to North Carolina... Why, because Cody"s division in Boise is closing but staying open in Phoenix and Charlotte, NC....The job opportunities for Cody to move up in the company in Phoenix isn't as good as Charlotte, that is where the head quarters are!! After much deliberation, and I mean months...We felt it was an opportunity that Cody had to take...And me being his wife and his support system, it is where I need to be as well..... And I know there are multiple opportunities for me and the kids there as well. I plan on attending school and the kids will do our normal routine... Sports, school and fun activities....
The beach is 2 hours away, Disneyworld is 8 hrs away..Wash DC is 5 hrs away and the zoo, compared to Boise, well we know how that is!! lol is right around the corner!!! And being in a new place I am sure we will get lost a lot and find many adventures... Duke basketball is there so we plan on attending games and seeing some NBA and baseball games......And my sister will now be 11 hours away!!! Still far but closer than we were!!

When the family first heard, It was a little hard for them and there was not much support. Now, people are coming around and I am so excited to take this new journey with Cody!!

Our plan--- Cody leaves July 1st and will be there for a month and find a house and get things lined up but in the mean time in Idaho, I am moving to my moms and putting our stuff in storage...It will save a little bit of money and a little extra time with the family before the big move!! Cody will fly back the first few days in August and spend a few days with family and friends and we plan on leaving the 5th and driving 4 days to our new home in NC!!! Wish us luck!! I will be sure to update you more as we get closer!! Also, it is official and this is NOT a joke....Our moving van is reserved for Aug 5th....My family asks me all the time is this for real??? and Yes everyone it is!!! So lets all get together cause it will be last few months in Idaho for probably a year or so!! But for sure we will stay in contact and I miss all you so very much and thanks for all the support!! Especially my sister!!!
