And then, before we knew it, it was time to say Farewell...

Nine years ago, Matt and I ventured to Bonners Ferry, Idaho with everything we could fit in a small truck and GrandAm.
With the support of my amazing uncle Joel, and aunt Susie we started our life.
Matt and I were blessed with so many amazing friendships and opportunities.
Matt worked in carpentry, on a ranch, sold custom wood, and low voltage electrical.  Until he then found what I believe to be his true calling with the US. Dept of Homeland Security as a CBP Officer.

I have also been blessed with so many wonderful opportunities that have led to incredible friendships and growth opportunities.
It all started with subbing for the school district.  Then I had the amazing opportunity to go to work for the Kootenai Tribal Health Clinic and also blessed to return there for a few short months before this next journey began.
Teaching at the high school and then to Turning Winds Academic Institute to be the Office Manager and spend more time with the kids.
One of my most treasured opportunities was coaching the BFHS Dance Team for seven years.
To share my love and passion for dance with some many wonderful young ladies and a few young men.
I loved each moment of watching girls become young women and go off to conquer the world.
Thank you for always giving me your best!

Yes, we were blessed with many opportunities....but we leave with two of the biggest blessings God could have ever given us.
Katherine Susan and Wesley Matthew, our two amazing children.
These two amazing miracles teach me so much each and everyday.

So with a mixed heart of joy and sadness we say farewell to the amazing community of Bonners Ferry.
We are so excited to be close to our family in MN and for the opportunities that await us.
But we also want to thank each and everyone of you that have made a difference and impact on our lives here in Idaho.
We love you all and thank you so much!
May God bless you always.

An empty carport....who would have thought we could get it all in??!!

This is the house that Matt built.
So many memories in this amazing place.

Packed...cleaned...now let's sleep for a couple hours.

We officially closed on the house on the 6th of Sept.  It is sold.
We will miss you Bonners Ferry.
Look out Minnesota....here we come!!
