Dear family,This is our first entry in the Family News and boy do we have some news to share. The month of December started off good. We decided to move to a bigger apartment, so we did that just after Thanksgiving. Wes had applied for a job at a power plant up in Eagar a few month prior and we heard that they offered the job to someone else. They told him that he needed to finish getting his BA and try again next year. So that was our plan. Much to our surprise on the 5th the plant called and offered him the position. It is the opportunity of a lifetime and we just couldn’t turn it down. So 5 days into our new lease we decided that we were moving up to Eagar and going to start our life up here. We spent the next two weeks planning and getting organized for the move. Wes’s parents came down the weekend before Christmas for the temple lights and turned it into a moving party. We got all of our belongings packed and headed up the mountain that weekend. We are now living with Wes’s Great Aunt Gwen, and enjoying it. Christmas was wonderful. Wes’s family made me feel so comfortable and loved. We are glad to be living so close to them. We spent the day with family and didn’t slow down at all that week. New Years came and we had a great time sledding up near Alpine. Amanda’s parents made a trip from Denver down to see our new casa, stayed for a night and headed down to the valley. On their way back to Colorado they stopped again and stayed for a couple of days this time. We toured them around Round Valley, which didn’t take much time, but then took a drive up to Sunrise and back through Greer. We made our way back into town and went and looked through an antique store. To kill time before dinner we came back to the house and played ping pong. It was good to see Dad and Mom Dare having so much fun. All in all it was a great month.
We would love to have visitors, anyone is welcome to come and stay with us.
Until next month
Love, The McBrides
