Well, the new year has come! I really feel like 2009 is going to be our year. Now that the cat is out of the bag about our moving, I can update you on whats happening. This weekend we headed up to Idaho so that I could sign some papers for my new job at Ada County Sheriff's office. When we first started talking about moving up there I thought I would check their website to see if they had any jobs available for dispatchers. They didn't, but I emailed them anyway and asked them to keep me in mind for when they were hiring. I got a call the next day and they wanted to do a phone interview with me that following day. Things have gone well so far and all that I have left for this job is a background check and a polygraph test. My offer for a job there will be dependant upon my polygraph test mostly, which after seeing my drug history (or lack thereof) they are pretty sure I am going to pass.
The background check lady actually looked over all of the drugs that I had not ever used and said "really?!" I told her yes. Then she said "how did you manage that?!"
I smiled and said "Provo, Utah"
Enough said!
We found out while we were up there that I am unable to do the polygraph while pregnant so we are going to have to make another trip.
We went up and back pretty quickly this weekend but while we were up there we ran by Ryan's brother Dan and his wife Sarah's new house. It is so beautiful!
It is really exciting to think that we are going to be living up in Idaho closer to them.
After I deliver Shelby we will start making the move up to Idaho. We have a house picked out, really cute with the coolest landlord's ever! We have a job for me and we've been looking for some jobs for Ryan for as soon as he completes school here.
We have wanted to move to Idaho for a really long time so the fact that we are doing this is way too surreal!
We had a great time in Idaho even though the trip was quick. Hopefully by the end of Feb or sometime in March we will be moved up there for good. The opportunity to go came really fast and we grabbed it. A month ago we had no idea we were going to be moving.
I have never moved anywhere before. I've been in Provo my whole life and although I am scared to death to go somewhere else, Idaho feels right for us. We are so happy up there and it feels like we are going to have a chance to start all over. We feel like we are finally going to be able to put down some roots. Something we just knew wasn't going to happen here in Provo.
Anyway, that is a little more of an explanation about our sudden move or sudden plans to move.
I am really having a hard time leaving my girls at work, and my friends here. Thank goodness for blogs right?!

We are so EXCITED we can't hardly stand it....come on Shelby!!
Love the picture of the boys!
Sniff, Sniff...you know, I'm not going to shovel the new neighbor's sidewalk once you move! J/K What can we do to help you guys out with the process? We hope you know how much we have loved having you as neighbors - nothing will ever come close to compare!! I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about you guys going...guess you couldn't be a Provo lifer forever, just like we won't. Change is hard, though, because you were and always will be our first neighborhood friends when we were first married. I will be sad not to hear your cute boys playing on the tramp in the backyard or seeing what new rig Ryan is working on. Dan and Sarah and the whole Idaho Bastian clan will be so lucky to have you all there. Okay, long post...Maria: this is not a goodbye letter to stop now!
Seriously...I am so bummed. I am grumpy. You are leaving. LAME. But! Being the radical friend that I am, I will stop being selfish for 2 seconds and wish you the best of luck in Idaho. I truly mean it! It sounds so exciting and the fact that YOU are excited makes me happy - that is great that you and your family are able to do this and that so many things are falling into place! I'm beyond thrilled for you, you deserve nothing but the best.
There. I said it. Back to selfishness. LAME.
Oh change is always good and I'm so sad to see you go, but so thrilled to hear about your new adventures you will be having! I hope I wasn't the one that let the cat out of the bag! Was it me? Any way love ya! Way to Go!
You will love living in Idaho! We are so excited that there is almost a place to call "home" again--- we have all been so scattered. Steve said he'd put in for Boise if it comes open next summer. Anyway, you have a great attitude Whitney for moving, and tackling a new job and getting ready for a wee one. You're a superstar!
Katherine.....Boise???? Oh, what it would be like to get everyone back to their roots??? We are ready for ALL of us to be back here!
