Good-bye to North Carolina...Hello Idaho!

If you haven't heard, Holden will be working at BYU-Idaho as professor of Biology starting in August. We are very excited and proud of him for his hard work in his post-doctorate fellowship here at UNC in Chapel Hill, NC. We have enjoyed North Carolina and are sad to leave friends we have made here in the past 4 years. Our family has grown from 2 to 4 here in Chapel Hill, so we have many wonderful memories from our time here that will be dear to us always. The humid Summers have been almost unbearable, but we will miss the NC Springs and Falls which are fantastic. We're excited to have more snow to play in and are looking forward most of all to being closer to our families and friends in the West. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity as this was Holden's first choice for a long time, and we believe this will be a great move for our family. Thank you and love to all, near and far, who have supported, taught and loved us these past 4 years in small and big ways.

YAY Nicole! What an exciting thing for you all! I would love to see you after you are settled and if you come down to utah for a visit. Good luck with your move!

Don't worry, we've been prepping Idaho so it can give you a worthy welcome. Banners, parades, concerts in your honor. You'll be the talk of the tri-state area. C'mon, Idaho, our Northerly neighbor, don't let them down!

Best of luck to you!!

A couple from our ward is now in Rexburg, too. She's assistant faculty member at BYU-Idaho in psychology. The Darowskis. I'm sure there are tons of wards there, but maybe you'll be in the same one! She (Emily) is awesome! I didn't know her husband as well.
