Ahhh... where to start?
My dad is doing great! He will have to stay home and not drive for about 6 weeks. I am amazed everyday at how quickly he is recovering. Thank you to all who have been praying.
Now onto other things in my life. About a month ago I felt like God was telling me to move on... really it was more like kicking me in the butt. So I began to pray about what that move would be... I knew very quickly that I wanted to go be with my sister in Boise and be a blessing to her when she has her twins this summer. I talked to her and to my parents and they were all excited... to quote my mom 'I see nothing negative about this decision'. Almost two weeks ago I told my boss that I would be leaving this summer. We agreed that it would be best to wait until after our big event last weekend to make it public knowlege. So Tuesday it went public.
These are the stoic details... but emotionally I have been leaking tears at the drop of a hat. The thought of leaving my close friends and world here is going to be very hard. I had to tell my youth group girls that I have been working with for the last 4 years on Tuesday because I didn't want them to hear about it from anyone else... that was killer. It is so bitter sweet... I am thrilled for the new adventure and to see where God will take me... but leaving those that I have shared my life with for the last 7 years will be very very hard.
I have begun the enormous task of sorting through my stuff at home and making checklists for my job. This is going to be a wild and crazy ride.
I will try to keep you updated as things progress.

Hi Carrie, Shane & I are very excited about your move to Boise. I know it is bitter sweet leaving behind friends & the life you have known for the past 7 years, but if anyone can do you can!!
We love you lots and may God continue to bless and direct your life!
Wow, Carrie! And WOW again! I am so excited for you. I never wanted to leave any job until I knew I would cry leaving everyone. Sounds like you are there and more. I'm glad you will have a community to visit when you go see your folks in the future. Ryu and I will have to use the Boise airport in the future! Plus, I am so relieved to hear your dad is doing well! Praise God! Kim
It's great to catch up on your life. I wondered how this decision-making process was going...
I think you are awesome, and that God has more blessings for you than you have room for!
Love Ya!
Thank you friends! It is nice to know you are supported when making these 'out of the blue' kind of decisions. I am very excited to see what God has next for me. The next few months are going to be packed full if I am going to get everything done for my departure.
Wow!
See what I miss spending my weekend travelling up to Soldotna?
Hope things are going well and that you are feeling good about the job that you did and the things that you have accomplished.
I am so proud and excited! Idaho, huh? I can hardly wait to come visit so that we can go to some wacky potato festival. yeehaw!
Really. I'm serious here. Potato pancakes, potato fries, baked potato, twice baked potato, thrice baked potato. . .
