GA

Well I just wanted to make it blog-official.

These Johnson's are headed to the "state of adventure."

GEORGIEEE-A.

Shaun's cousin has been trying to get him involved in this great Animal Pharmaceutical company and their base is in the South. This has been one of Shaun's goals to eventually get his foot in the door. When there was an opening a couple months ago I said to of course apply for anything and everything. I should have known that my SJ was going to get it because of how amazing he is. We found out a few weeks ago that he got it and have been trying to comprehend it all while making arrangements at the same time. The job requires a year or so in Georgia for training and then they place you elsewhere {we're praying for UT}.

It's so amazing how the people that you meet and build friendships with are for a real, true reason. I have had many examples of this in my life but lately it has been with the Sant family. Out of the whole state of Georgia, Shaun's work is only about 30 minutes or so from them in Alpharetta. What a blessing! We are able to find places that are close to them but also close to Shaun's work. Ashley's parents have been so incredible with helping us find a good area and an amazing ward. WE ARE SO BLESSED. And it makes me rest a little easier knowing that I will have a few amazing connections there.

My time for graduation was going to be April of next year. I am hoping that I can continue on with that pace and online classes will open up. So many things have worked out perfectly for this job and the timing on different things is unbelievable. In the mean time I'm purging my belongings. Especially my clothes. For some reason I have believed that I would always have a need for all of my clothes and haven't gotten rid of anything since high school. {Then why do I still wear the same thing everyday? I don't get it either.} We will be loading up the U-haul and Shaun & KC will be driving out June 14th. I finish my summer block of school the 22nd so I'll still be here. Shaun will work about a week and then fly back June 22nd to come get me and perform the last Johnson band concert for The Rose Festival at Thanksgiving Point. We then say Bon Voyage June 24th. 

Flights are booked. Moving boxes have arrived. And the goodbyes are slowly happening. Looking at the big picture--I know this is the right thing for us and I am excited for this "state of adventure." 

I can't decide, I think this might be a depressing song about Georgia.
But I'm sorry, there is no going astray from John.
