After several years of ups and downs, and my brother in law, Brett, being out of work for months, my sister, Lisa and her family are moving HERE, to Phoenix... THIS WEEKEND!
They have been trying to find a place to move, and were looking at St. George, Utah for awhile, but nothing panned out. Housing was one scam after another (the FBI is investigating!) jobs were no where to be found. Nothing was working out. So, they decided to look here.
They decided to look here, LAST weekend. Yes, A week ago. Everything is falling into place. So in the past week, Deb and I have been on a rampage of errands and phone calls. We were able to find them a cute condo to move into, that they were approved for, in the same area for Keera to go to the same high school as Cody - So Keera wont be as intimidated going from a small Idaho high school to a huge Mesa High School. Someone dropped out of Dobson Academy in 5th grade to change schools, so that left a place for Jace at the same school as my kids. We had to get a special exception for Ali to get in there too, but that turned out to be no problem either (Dobson Academy likes to keep siblings together.) So all the kids have friendly faces at school!
Brett and Jace got into town last night with the truck full of their stuff. Lisa and the girls will get in, today! I can't even begin to tell you how excited we all are! Lisa, and Jordan will be here for a week and head back to Idaho. Lisa has a job, and will continue to work until Brett finds one here. Jordan will stay and finish her Senior year in Idaho. That was, of course, a tough decision. But, she is a good kid, can stay with family there, and bc she will be 18 in November, is editor if the yearbook (something she has worked hard for). They are allowing her to stay. Besides, it much easier to do that than, say, have her be an exchange student around the world. (tee hee)
So this week will be very crazy... regular Widdison craziness, but helping them out too. But I LOVE IT!

So excited for you! It is going to be fun for all the kids to be closer. :)
Ahha! I found you! Hope you're all doing great. I miss talking with you. I have just been so crazy busy. And even missed all of the boys July Birthdays. Which reminds me, 'Happy Birthday Zach!'. You know I think it is the coolest thing I found out on Sunday, that every year Sep 21st is the National day of Peace. You're the awesomest Family! Love you!
