1ST Day of Preschool!!!

Holy cow I can't believe this day is finally here. My little munchkin is off to school. Yes it is just Preschool and yes it is only 2 days a week, but from here it doesn't stop. Next year is 3 day a week preschool and then kindergarten. I need to really cherish these next two years before she is at school full time. The thought of her being gone all day makes me cry instently. I really hope preschool goes well for her and they teach her the things I am not good at teaching her and she has fun learning.

10 YEARS!!!!

Today was our last Sunday attending the Lloydminster Branch as members. Yes as I am crazy behind on blogging and have not written about it yet I have some crazy news. We are moving from Lloydminster. Mark's company decided to down size and closed the office here in Lloydminster. We for sure thought Mark would be losing his job, however we were so blessed and instead of Mark being out a job we were asked to relocate up to the Bonnyville/Cold Lake area. We took a leap of faith and said yes and me and the kids head up to Cold Lake tomorrow to the house we will be staying in for now and renting. Our house here in Lloydminster will come on the market hopefully this week and if it doesn't sell in 3 months Mark's company buys it from us. That gives us some peace and mind right now seeing as the market is so slow because of the oil patch.

So how do you say good-bye to 10 years of our life. I never imagined growing up that my life would be the way it has turned out and that I would live up north. However I wouldn't change it for the world. Lloydminster has been so good to us and has done so much for us. We both found or careers here, many many friends, and of course some amazing lifelong friends. Lots of fun memories and some sad moments, and trials. The best part was the two beautiful children we were blessed with through the help of the Doctors here, and the prayers of the members of our Branch. The callings we have had has helped us to grow and strengthen our testimonies. We are going to push forward with our new life with optimism and hope that it will all be good. But we will defiantly miss Lloydminster and cherish the wonderful memories we made here.
