Start spreading the news...

We're moving to Tennessee! Just got word that Travis has been accepted into Middle Tennessee State University's Aerospace Program. MTSU is one of the few Universities in the nation that offers the special training courses one needs to become an Air Traffic Controller- and Travis was just accepted! Starting this year (and for the next 2 years) Travis will work on his Airport Administration BS degree with special training in Air Traffic Control. Once he graduates from MTSU he will need to be recommended to fulfill a special 6 week training course in Oklahoma, upon that completion he will officially be an Air Traffic Controller and will be assigned an airport.

These are such exciting times! Luckily back in January we posted our condo for rent and were able to find great renters, they will be moving in to our condo in 3 short weeks.. meaning we'll be making the long drive out to TN and will be there by April 1. WoW!

We couldn't be more excited for Travis to start on his desired career path. We also couldn't be more excited for Roberta to switch gears a little as well. After being with Deseret Book for over 4 years, she's now given her 3 weeks notice to Deseret Book (so if anyone wants 25-30% off on anything before we leave the discount let us know!) and will be freelancing author tours and graphic design from home.. while playing and hanging out with Alida in the hot, humid, muggy weather of The South!

Here's to 3 very short weeks of organizing, packing, and then heading out to TN!

That's awesome! I've always wanted to go to Tennessee. Maybe you'll get lucky and Alida will pick up a cute southern accent. :)
Thank heavens for blogs so we'll still be able to follow your adventures.

That's so exciting! Packing up and moving across the country is hard but you'll love every minute of it. If you need a place to stay in Kansas as you make your way to Tennessee, we'd love to have you.
