MIA no longer!

It's crazy to think that almost 6 months have passed since the last time I updated our blog! And what a whirlwind those months have been. We have hit the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I'm glad to say that now that things are settling down a little, I think we've come out better than hoped for. 

So what's new since October, you ask? Well, the current list includes:

• New year
• New town (in a new state)
• New house
• New ward
• New police officer job for Levi
• New loan specialist job for Brittany
and pretty much, a whole new life!

Levi started working for Chubbuck City Police Department mid-December, and then in January they sent him to the Idaho POST (Peace Officer Standards and Training) academy. That meant that every Sunday, he would leave Logan, drive to Pocatello to meet up with the other newly hired officers, & they would ride to Meridian together. Friday nights after class, he would hurry back to Poky and then on to Logan. Roughly 10 hours of driving total each weekend. By the end of the 10 week academy, we were both FRIED. 

While Levi was learning arrest techniques, emergency vehicle maneuvers, and criminal code, I was still living in Logan working 10-12 hour days at Thermo and spending the evenings looking for a job and house in Idaho. (Geez, just rereading that sentence made me want a nap.) By mid-March, everything was starting to come together. My last day working for Thermo Fisher was on the 12th, we closed on our house on the 13th, Levi graduated from the POST academy on the 14th, we moved on the 15th, Levi started at the police station on the 17th and I started at Idaho Central Credit Union on the 18th!
What a week!! 

Couldn't be prouder of my Officer Nutt and all his hard work!
Aaannnd this is what it looks like when you are finally done with 10 weeks of insanity. Ü 


Now that things seem to be calming down a little, we are excited to get settled into our new life and maybe start on our house project list. Yay! Ü

Hooray for a new life and new adventures! I love the pic of Levi sleeping. (I'm sure he does too.) It really summarizes that 10 weeks for both of you. Congrats on everything!
