We're still here! Small town living hasn't scared us away….yet ;) Nick loves his job! We are amazed every day with the opportunities that this company has to offer & how much this company recognizes his talent! He is truly blessed to have this position. The boys are 1 month away from starting 3rd grade in Sidney ISD (Crazy, I KNOW!!), and I have accepted a Para (teaching) position with the school district and will start along with the boys in August. I am just a few classes away from completing my degree and will be teaching high school full time in the 2015-2016 school year.
Getting used to small town living is proving the most challenging part of this transition for all of us! We have really enjoyed the scenery here! There are SO many amazing & convenient vacations that we are planning in the coming year! Living in the MidWest is new, it's different, and for now…it's where we want to be. We're together and we're making it work.

I would certainly be fired if I were a paid journalist!

You can see from my last post (a year ago) that I am super slacking on this blogging! But, one of my "resolutions" for 2014 is to communicate better, and blogging is just the beginning :)
That said…let me catch you up on what's going on in 'MilamWorld'!

Just under a week ago, we ventured 850 miles (over 12 hours) from home, and relocated to Sidney, NE. WHY, you ask?? Well, after many long and trying years with Nick's former company, he made the decision to leave and accepted his "dream job" with Cabelas. We moved from a population of over 145,000 to just over 6,000! This is small town living at it's finest. The closest target is 1.5 hours away, malls do not exist, and living in a 900 sq. ft home, is living big. We are definitely excited about this opportunity, and looking forward to the next few years of "simple living"!
Stay tuned to see what's next! And, I promise, the next post won't be in 2015 ;)
