Goodbye Iowa

 

"Chelsea, I guess we won't be talking in church this month."

"What? How come?"

"Well... We are moving to Montana next week."

"WHAT?!"

 

This was Tyler and I's conversation on a friday after he got off

work. We had been in Iowa for almost a month and

this was the last thing that I was expecting. Tyler got a promotion

at work and that was very exciting. I think the thing that

shocked me most was that he had to be to work, at the next site,

 on Thursday the very next week. We had the house packed up,

the Uhaul filled, our black focus sold and all the cleaning

done by that Monday.

 

We will definitely miss Iowa. It was BEAUTIFUL filled with tons

of amazing people with big hearts.

 

This was where we lived. It was an apartment right above the owners

 big garage/barn. I'm sure you noticed the HUGE cage

right in front of our place. The owner's mother used to have a
cougar as a pet. Yes, I said cougar. Can you imagine? I guess she let
it walk around in the house. SO WEIRD but sort of awesome.


This is what our surroundings looked like:

 

Do you now understand why we will miss this place?

Isn't it majestic?! I miss waking up in the morning to this.

We were so lucky to find this place.

 

Through all this moving and anxiety, it's cool to be able to see

God's hand in everything. We have found great places

to live, been blessed with people that care for us, great wards

and have learned so much about each other. With all the craziness

with moving so quickly, every little thing fell into

place. I'm so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that has

always looked out for us and guided us in the direction that we needed

to go.
