Change Is Our Only Constant

The funny thing about my life is that I keep thinking we will reach a point that we stop changing our lives. And yet here we are: we just celebrated our 7 year anniversary, our baby girl turned 5 (WHAT?!), and we just completed our 15th move. Yes, I am a pro at packing boxes and Jordin is a pro at packing a U-Haul truck.

So where did we move this time, you ask? We are currently living in Logan, Utah and working for a construction and property management company called Nelson Brothers.  Three months ago we were working for a company called INNOVATIVE Student Housing and loving our jobs and our company. In January we found out that the principals of the company were shutting the doors and selling all of their management contracts to other companies. This put Jordin and I in between two companies that were taking the Rexburg properties that we were over. We were really thrown for a loop since we loved the people that we worked for before. We stayed in Rexburg for one more month and ended up taking offers from Nelson Brothers to help them open up a new property called The Factory for this Fall. It has been a crazy month. There is so much to do here and we are working like mad to make progress and get it leased up. Right now the plan is to then move to Orem and work from the corporate offices there and take on a different role for the properties in Utah.

So who knows where we will be in 2 years... 5 years.... 10 years...  The conclusion that Jordin and I have come to is that we don't know where we want to end up. The world is full of too many possibilites to make final decisions since we are not even 30 (but too close to that number for comfort!), so we aren't going to worry about it! We will take the best opportunites as they come and have been so happy with where we have come so far.

Life is an ever changing adventure! Let's keep it going! Just a few less moves in the next seven years as there as been in the past seven!

It's been a while...

Hello! It's only been over 2 1/2 years since I last posted. Nothing really has changed between then and now... except most everything! :...
