Yes, you heard it correctly.
The Jordans are moving...
to INDIANA!!
The job is official so I can finally share the news.
Kevin is going to be
a PROFESSOR
a PROFESSOR
at INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY
in Terre Haute, Indiana!!
Olive is wearing her ISU colors proudly :)
Kevin will be teaching, researching and doing clinical work
in the Psychology department starting August 2015.
It is basically his dream job
that he's been working towards for over ten years.
that he's been working towards for over ten years.
He interviewed a few weeks ago and loved everything about ISU.
It turned out that they loved him too.
The job looked perfect on paper and in real life
and they thought he was the perfect candidate for the job.
The faculty already seems GREAT
and they've already planned a welcome to ISU party in our honor.

We originally thought this job would start in 2016,
but they wanted him to start right away.
Negotiations ensued, offers were made
and he just could not turn this opportunity down.
We are still in a bit of s-h-o-c-k at how fast this process has gone,
but are excited for this new chapter in our lives.
We moved from
IN to UT in 2004
UT to AR in 2013,
AR to MS in 2014
and now MS to IN in 2015.
A little throwback to
Olive announcing our move to MS last year
We have LOVED our time in Mississippi and really planned to be here for several years. We've made friends, been a part of a sweet church and just adored living in the South. It's been a wild ride, but we can definitely see that this is God's plan for our lives. I don't think either of us ever thought we'd have the opportunity to live in Indiana again.
We will be two hours from tons of family and friends and back in our home state after 11 years of adventures. Our new city is just 45 minutes away from Indianapolis and there are lots of family friendly things for us to enjoy. Notre Dame is 3.5 hours away so we are already making plans for some game day visits.

We've worked hard on our home for the last year to update it and make it perfect for us. We found a realtor and our darling house is now on the market. Talk about a whirlwind week! I wish we could move the house with us, but that's just crazy talk :) We'd appreciate your prayers for a QUICK sale and a smooth move later on this summer.
Our new reality is still sinking in :)
