Change, whether it's for the better, is a definite in life.

Well, one of those times that you think will never happen, happened. Unfortunately,  Joe lost his job unexpectantly due to an incident that was out of his control. We were both shocked and devistated. We really enjoyed living in Washington Terrace, the ward, and neighbors. We lived 1.5 hrs from Arimo, 45 min commute for Joe, and we had a 3 bedroom  and gated backyatd house we rented. We felt like it was "home".

We realized that we had to find something quickly, and so Joe applied at St Luke's in Nampa Idaho for both of us to have jobs. We both got interviews, but we were only sure that Joe was going to get a job. I had not worked in almost a year, so we agreed that we had to make me getting a job a priority or all the time and effort I put into getting a bachelor's degree and learning to do ultrasound would become jeopardized as people don't want to hire someone who hasn't worked in a long time. We decided maybe it was time to try a traveling tech opportunity because the housing would be provided and Joe could focus on trying to get registered in CT. Krystell got a job offer in Derry, NH within a week and we were both very excited. However, the details in the job description about pay and benefits were deceiving when we looked more into it, and realized we would not be able to make as much money as we hoped.

At the last minute St Luke's in Nampa called and offered both Joe and I positions and we decided that might be the best decision for us right now. So we packed up and we have moved in within 3 weeks, into Joe's mom and brother Phil until we figure out where we want to live. It is bitter sweet and we were both so excited to live in the east coast and be 45 minutes from Boston. But, perhaps as a tender mercy from the Lord, we have come to like Nampa and the Boise area.
