We're Moving Out of Provo

Hi everyone,

Many of you already have been informed, but in case if you haven't heard, Sam and I have moved to Vancouver, Washington.

Surprised, are you? Well, you are not alone. In all honesty, it was quite a surprise to us as well. It's only been a week since we first had the thought that we needed to move.

It is an incredible blessing to finally have a diagnosis, and although I am on the right path, the road to recovery is a lot longer and rockier than I anticipated it would be. I'm finishing up with my third month of Lyme treatment, and as we have noticed improvements in my health, overall I am still very sick. With the semester finished up, Sam will be going back to work full time, leaving me home alone for 8-10 hours a day. On good days, that's not a problem. On my bad days, however, that doesn't work so well. There are sometimes where I am so shaky and fatigued that I can't walk or even stand on my own without falling over. Being home alone all day for weeks on end when I'm like that isn't very healthy -  neither physically or emotionally.

Although the decision was made quick, we just felt very strongly of what we needed to do - we needed to move to Washington for a while to be closer to family while we get this whole Lyme disease thing under control. We made the arrangements on Monday, had our apartment packed up by Tuesday, drove half-way to Boise on Wednesday, and pulled in to my parent's driveway by 6:00 Thursday evening.

So anyways, that's what's happening. It was really difficult to up and leave our home in Provo, but we know that this is the best thing for us. Until we get my disease more under control, we'll need some more support from family Hopefully we'll be back to our regular college-life routine in no time. Until then, we're just grateful for where we are now and praying that our God will direct us where he wants us to go.
