We are moving again but this time closer to family. Jake got a new job in Afton, Wyoming at Star Valley Medical Center. Afton is a small town close to the Idaho Wyoming border, about 45 minutes south of Jackson Hole. "Star Valley" is made up of a handful of small ranching, farming towns, one of which is Afton. We feel very blessed and excited to be able to get this job and move closer to our families. My family will be about one and one half hours away and Jake's parents will be about three and one half hours away. Much better than 19 hours and our kids whole heartedly agree. They could not believe that we are going to be so close, they let out screams of joy!
Jake will probably move to Afton the first week in May to start work and then the kids and I will move after school is out which is May 22nd. We are hopeful that our house will sell. I have heard that the market has not been affected too much here in Manhattan but I will believe it when I see it. All I know is that I am not excited about spending the next 3 months keeping every single crumb off of my floors while we try to sell. What a pain. Does anyone have any great ideas about how to keep your house spotless all day long? At least it is just Kennady and I at home during the day so we don't make too big of a mess, although I do find myself cleaning a lot anyways. Why is it that kids can't keep their toys in their rooms? I guess it's because Kennady is attached to my side so she figures her toys need to come along too.
Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm so happy you guys are moving closer. Hopefully we'll get to see you guys once in a while.
Congrats on getting the job! I bet you're excited and wish that you could just fast forward a few months. Moving is stressful, but I'm sure it will be worth it when it's all over with! I dread having my house on the market too because it isn't easy keeping a presentable house when you have little kids. I'm glad you guys are going to be closer though. Yeah! We're so happy for you!
YAY! We are SO excited to have you guys closer!! Incidently, I use this site to help me keep my house clean: www.flylady.net They have good tips to keep your house clean through decluttering and routines...little bits at a time instead of marathon cleaning. I usually don't follow it too closely, so my house is usually not great, but when I was at home on maternity leave, my house was usually pretty clean. :) If you can get some use out of it, great, if not, that's fine too! :)
Congratulations! Do you have a house? My grandparents live right on mainstreet - 2 houses up from the LazyB motel. We'll have to stop by and see you next time we're in Afton.
