Harris Family Journal

Life is full of interesting surprises! Shane and I have been so happy here in Idaho. We love our ward, our kids friends, and the area that we live in and the house-dad and Shane put blood, sweat, and tears into building a dream for me. On a whim, Shane applied for a teaching job in Wyoming. We thought that it would take a few years to get on there and whamo! He got the job on the first try!! Then the decisions had to be made should we stay, or should we go. Through much prayer and fasting, yes, the answer was yes-go. It kind of feels like a midlife crisis we were comfortable where we were at with our mundane everyday routines and yet the thrill of going somewhere new is exciting. New challenges await the Harris family in Wyoming. We are crazy!! We are starting all over again. Luckily, the children are still young and have the ability to make new friends. I am excited for Shane as a teacher. Education in Wyoming is viewed differently than it is in Idaho. He will have opportunities open up for him to expand his horizons as a teacher with all of the technology he will have at his finger tips, that he never could have had in Idaho. Our children will thrive with the technology, the paraprofessional help, and the new schools just barely finished for this school year. It is sad to leave such a great place, and such great people, but I know that we can be happy wherever we go because we have eachother and our faith. Right now, we are trying to sell our home in Idaho-good luck with this market! We'll see what happens. All is well, all is well.
