Blanding~3/23/13

Wow this is way out of order! Oh well.
So, we're moving.
We don't know where and we don't know when. In fact we don't even have a job yet.
But Kirk told his boss he was officially quitting and that end of May or beginning of June would be his last day. We've met with 3 different options for employment near where Kirk is from or so we thought. The third option that we kind of thought might be our best option changed a little. One of the owners called and really wants to hire Kirk but they are hiring for a position in Blanding, Utah.
I'd never been to Blanding so we thought we would take a trip and check it out before making any decisions. We drove to Cleveland, Utah on Friday and went to dinner with the owners of the clinic. They were really awesome and would be great to work for. Saturday we headed to Blanding. We stopped at Hole in the Rock for a break with the girls and explored a little.
Then we ate lunch in Monticello and drove around there for a little while.
Then we drove around Blanding. It seems like a nice place. The town is small and would probably be a great place to live with great people. It has a community pool, a couple museums and a great library. It is, however, very isolated. Very.
We are still thinking about the idea but living so far from family and in such an isolated place might not work for me. I've struggled enough here in Panaca and I'm not sure I could handle it.
It makes me feel bad to let my need for 'stuff' to have such a huge impact on Kirk's career choices but he really doesn't want me to be miserable. We shall see.
On our way home we stopped in Moab for ice cream. (Being close to Moab would be awesome!)
Then we stopped at this arch to explore a little more. (Wilson arch)
