Excellent News!

Ry finishes his very last final before he graduates on May 3rd!  This alone is excellent news - but what's even better?  Ry starts his very first job at a Hatchery on May 7th!  We'll be moving to a little town 10-15 minutes from Lake Powell called Big Water!  We are SO excited and can't wait for this new adventure.  Some quick facts about Big Water:

• There are about 475 people total in the little community.
• It does have some people who follow Polygamy there (it was in the news, etc.) - which I find really  interesting and exciting!  According to my work friends, I'll have sister wives before our time is through there - right, Ry can barely handle me! haha
• It's 6 miles from the Arizona boarder (Page, AZ is the nearest city/town and 17 miles away) and 57 miles from Kanab, UT.
• Lake Powell, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument are just minutes away.  Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion’s National Park, Mesa Verde Indian ruins, Monument Valley and several others are within 3 hours of Big Water. (got this from their city website)
• The entire Kindergarten class this year had FIVE students!  This, to me, is great for many reasons!  It means that even though the community is small, there are plenty of kids Aiden's age and for educational reasons, Aiden will do MUCH better in a smaller class setting than in a classroom with 30+ children!

We look forward to this new chapter in our lives!  It does only go until the beginning of January as of right now, so the adventure will be ever changing, but what a wonderful place to start!
