After a long road of are we or aren't we? After much prayer, fasting, discussions, asking everyone's opinions and trying to listen to our inner voices/Holy Ghost, we came to the conclusion, with the moving truck fully loaded, that no, we are not moving to Rexburg, Idaho.
What the heck?! Crazy Wadells. I know, we are nuts. We make a decision, we feel good about it, we start going down that path, but then started feeling uncomfortable, but then Kev and I each would be comfortable/uncomfortable at different times, so then, our communication was off. What a pain.
I know this was a crazy learning experience, and I wonder why we went through this? I was telling Kev, maybe it was to humble us? Maybe it was to test our faith? Maybe the Lord wanted us to learn to rely on Him more? Maybe to learn to recognize promptings, now that we see them looking back?
But the whole thing came about that we thought, hmmm, pay $20k for our downpayment for the house or pay $20k to our debt. Then we have General Conference and then that talk by Elder Packer floating around that he gave in some Sacrament meeting and it was about finances and it just kept twinging at us. Like, we really need to pay off debt, especially because it sounds/seems like the end of the world is coming. (just reading the news about the economy!)
So yes, lovely Rocklin gets to keep us, we get to stay renters and pay off our debts and keep going with our current happy life. And how about that City Council position?? Election Day is coming up... maybe I can still make it!
Rexburg would have been great as well, so there is the sadness of the possibilities. I've cried today. I'm ready to sleep and start a new day, however, the fallout from this decision isn't over. Many more people to tell. That's the exhausting part about changing decisions. I liken it to being pregnant and then having a miscarraige and needing to explain it to people whom you haven't seen in a while. This though, is not sad news, so it's not that bad. Everyone that knows here is very happy to be keeping us around. That makes us feel good! :)
Very interesting past few weeks. I still wonder why we didn't know this answer sooner. But I know it will be a funny story later.... "There was a time we had the truck packed... and didn't go!"

We are glad you are not moving! We can go to Apple Hill with you, we plan on going again this year too. Have fun unpacking:) maybe its a good time to re-paint the walls if Gabby is a wall abuser like Jo. I thought she was over it then saw her drawing on the wall today.
Well good for you for listening to the spirit. Paying off debt is never a bad idea. I'm glad you feel good about it!
Wow - you already had the truck packed? I guess now is a great time to do some cleaning and reorganizing! That does seem smart to pay off debt instead of taking on more. Good Luck on Election Day!
