The Hawkeye State

So it's official. The Fife's are no longer going to be the Seattle Fifes, we will be known, at least for the next two years, and The Iowa Fifes! We decided it was best for our family for Jordan to go back to school to finish up his MBA, and his number one choice, University of Iowa, accepted him! SO here we go....! HE has been somewhat unhappy in his current job for a long time now. Don't get me wrong, we are grateful for it and he is doing extremley well, but the hours aren't very family friendly. Anyway, there was a position open that he decided to take in Santiago Chile, and we were going to move there for sure. But then the position changed to start next year sometime and that isn't really what we wanted. So we decided to go back to school. But THEN, Jordan's little sister Shawnie was diagnosed with cancer, so we again decided it was best to stay here. Well, after a lot of doctor appointments and a biopsy surgery, it was proven that she was misdiagnosed and has a bone infection. Still serious, but not life threatening. So, again we changed our plans and decided that we will in fact, move to Iowa and Jordan will get his MBA. It's official, Jordan has given notice at work and our apartment complex knows- no turning back! Our last day in Washington will be on July 11, and then it's off to the midwest for us, to Iowa City, Iowa. It's a two year program, and they offered him a bunch of scholarships, so it's a pretty good opportunity for our family. And yes, before you ask, we know about all the flooding that is going on and the tornados, we're just praying its all getting over BEFORE we get there!
