Still on the market. Just shy of 2 months. The price is right. I just wish I could pick my house up and move it 2/3 houses over. Can't help that. But, I have a "scenic view" says my yard sign. (I'm laughing, because it is a wooded lot, no mountain scape here!) Anxiety is kicking in a bit. They say it will sell. Oh, please sell!
Our house there.
So, this Air Force life is a new thing for us. We weren't sure if we were going to even keep our spot. There is only 1 internal medicine doctor on base, which will be my husband, he will also run the coumidin clinic and sit on some cardiology board or something. Things have been a bit complicated for us. Finally we heard from the doctor Ryan is replacing. He is LDS. Has 4 kids. They were heavy to leave, but had always said if the AF offered them an international spot in England as a family (that is key, those type of orders aren't all too common) they would go. Upon talking to them we realized how rare this opportunity was for them and since Mtn. Home is not the most desirable spot, the fact that we wanted it and they could go to England was really pretty military miraculous. I can say that my family, and probably them too, has really felt the Lord's care over us and knew the desires of both our hearts. We have felt really grateful. And been reminded that he does watch over us!
I had some homes for my mom to go down and look at. I gave her a rough itinerary and networked enough to know where we wanted to live. We knew we were just going to rent- the market is slow there and with just over a 3 year commitment, and truthfully, I think home ownership is seriously over-rated, renting was the perfect option. There were great opportunities because the city is practically all military and with orders and changes going out all the time, families were stuck in homes trying to sell them fast or get them rented.
My mom spent the day with my grandma, and they checked off my house list, took pictures, drove the neighborhoods and took so much weight off our shoulders! How much Ryan and I appreciated this! We decided on a 2 year old custom home from an F14 fighter pilot that got pulled to move to Italy. They will be gone for 3 years. They are leaving there front loaders, ride on lawn mower, piano, surround sound system, tools, and deep freeze. They said, "Welcome to the Air Force family!" We promise to take good care of it.

I just got "chills" reading that... you have to be there for 3 years and they are leaving for 3 years... wow! how perfect. We will miss you guys tons... but know you are on to bigger and better things.
oh also--- before you moved here there was a family in the ward that had moved 16 times or something crazy like that. When I asked her if she was stressed about selling her house this last time she just said "homes always sell... they just do"... she was right, they do always sell, sometimes not as soon as we want (like in our case) but they do sell. (well maybe not everywhere but we don't have a crazy market in Lou. like in other places)....So hang in there, it will sell.
I am so excited for you! Your new home looks beautiful. How wonderful that your Mom and Grandma were able to stake it out for you. How nice to know you have a place waiting for you. So many wonderful memories yet to be made there as you come to the close of your memories in KY. Your house will sell. Sometimes our faith must be tried. You will be blessed.

You are so blessed! The house is beautiful. I am so excited for you to move, I know we haven't kept in touch all that much over the years but I feel like I have re-connected with you through your blog and I love the fact that you will be closer to Utah now, corny I know. I wish you the best with the move:)
I can't wait to see it in real life! I am totally coming to see you and yours this summer.
The house in Idaho is beautiful Lacey. It looks like a comfy place for your sweet family to land.
And, you will sell your house, the Lord's hand is obvious in this move to Idaho... it will work out. I'll keep it in my prayers...
