BLANCHARD FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENT: Dear Friends & Family, Its official... after approximately 13 1/2 YEARS 712 1/2 WEEKS 4988 DAYS 119,712 HOURS 7,182,720 MINUTES, and 430,963,200 SECONDS.... we are moving from our home in Gilbert, to the mountains of Pinetop AZ. Those of you who know me well, know that Im NOT a cold weather girl, or a small town girl, but I love my husband MORE than I DONT love those things. I told him a little while ago, after months of thinking about it, that I felt like its time to let him get back to the mountains and the great outdoors. Time to resume his other loves; fishing, hunting, riding quads, shoveling snow, skiing, and so on... He has made many sacrifices over the past 32 years, for me and our kids, and I feel that its HIS time now. Seriously, he is so very happy!!! That makes me happy. Dont worry tho, I made him commit to an escape clause for me. I can push the button after at least 2-4 years, and well return to the valley. This move will be a little extra tough on Kyle and I, but were both willing to do what is best for us as a family. Kade and Bret can hardly wait. Bret begins with a new company, CVS in Show Low, after almost 19 years with Frys. You know hes excited, because change does NOT come easy for him. I, on the other hand, LOVE change....although the Bahamas, or any tropical island would have been a lot higher on my list of happy places. LoL! Maybe that will be next. The boys and I will likely be here until the end of the school year, and Bret will commute each week. 1/2 week here, 1/2 week there. Were blessed with the most amazing friends EVER, who are helping make this all possible for him to do this. In addition to these friends of ours helping to make this adventure work, we know that the Lord is behind it too, as weve seen several things not only fall into place quickly, but as Markley Johnson said, Theyre JUMPING into place!! Heavenly Father loves us and is clearly supporting us in this new adventure. Let the fun and the crazy and the cold begin!!
