Bitter Sweet!


We have been here in Lander for almost two years and have not had any luck finding a good home that we can afford for our family.  We have absolutely LOVED it here with Sheridan's family along with our friends we've reconnected with and new friends we've made and being closer to my family as well.   

Sheridan's parents have gone above and beyond helping us, by letting us live with them not once but twice while we've been here. :)  Wanda my mother-in-law has had amazing patience with me.... I'm pretty cranky some times and wish I wouldn't have been. Live and learn.  

We've loved going to all the family activities here in Lander along with my family in Idaho and Utah.  It's been great living so close to be able to do those things more often.

We've had such a hard time trying to find an affordable home here in Lander and didn't know what to do so we have done a lot of fasting and praying.  Sheridan received a phone call from an acquaintance of his old boss.  Long story short he had an interview with a company called Wheeler Ridge Maricopa, it's another water district in Bakersfield.  

And so we prayed some more and thought a lot of how this would affect our kids.  We discussed it with them before we made any decisions and after that conversation we decided that it was time to go back. 

It will be very sad to leave as it was to leave Bakersfield 2 years ago.  Like before I thought we would never come back to Lander and then I thought we would never go back to Bakersfield.  Never say never I guess. lol

So to all our family and friends we hope you understand our reasoning and appreciate your support! :)

We LOVE you all and will miss you A LOT!!! But we will be back to visit.  And everyone is more than welcome to take a vacation and come see us!!!! :)

With Much Love;

Torrie, Sheridan, Gracie, Madeline, Cole & Ty
