"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us...if we put our trust in Him, if we pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings. He will hear our prayer."
President Gordon B. Hinckley
I know I have been heard. The tender mercies of the Lord have been shown to me again and again. Even though I may not completely understand the course our lives are about to take I am at peace knowing that there is a reason for everything that happens in life.
As terrifying as it is for me to realize that I am going to have to leave the place I have called "home" for the majority of my life, my parents and my brother, my absolutely incredible friends, my beautiful home, the Young Women who I love, and the entire life that we have created here in Boise......I'm ready for the next chapter. (Or at least I can say I'm working on it)
Brace yourselves Idaho Falls........here comes the Starnes Family.

As a former Ricks-ite AND native Boise-an, I can say there are worse places to have to live for sure. At least you're a close drive back "home"! Wow though, I hear ya. But I bet you guys will love it...a new adventure while the kids are still young! Good luck friend!
Idaho Falls is so lucky to get you guys! I was hoping you would say Draper, Utah! Good luck with this huge change in your lives. I know this move will not be easy for you. You will be loved no matter where you go!
We will miss you! You are so brave, I would not be handling things as well as you are. Let us know how we can help.
Thank you for sharing the Quote. It brought tears to my eyes. I think I am going to print that out and hang it on my fridge because that is something that I need to remind myslef of constantly. Good luck in Idaho Falls.
