Christopher and I spent last week in Utah house hunting. We found a place in South Jordan in the Daybreak community. We really like the houses in that community. It has a different look than most of the other places in Utah and we really liked it. Works well for our family. Plus all the amenities and community perks won us over.Christopher's supervisor and mentor was the CFO for the Dallas VA Hospital until he took up the CFO position in SLC to be closer to family. We are in a unique position to follow him to SLC and continue on a fast track of sorts to becoming CFO material in half the time. Well, it's a no brainier, in this economy to go where we can grease the tracks to Christopher's career. Even if that takes me back to Utah...where I swore I'd never go again!
The best part of this move is that I get to be close to my brother Jarom and his family. Chelsea, his wife, Hudson, his son and Finley his baby girl. I also have a sister Julia there and my other brother Aaron is just a state away in Colorado. It will be nice to be so close to family again. AND I have so many friends that live there that I met while attending BYU or that visit Utah often to visit family. So, socially wise, I'm really excited.
We'll be in Utah for about 3 years and then our plans are to make the voyage back home, to TEXAS! We aren't selling our house here and will probably just rent while we are in Utah. Real estate and wages are just better in Texas...like everything else right? Just kidding. Anyway, the movers come to pack and take our stuff away on the 17th & 18th (next week, YIKES!) and we will be on our merry way the 19th after school lets out for break for the kids. Who will then start year around school in Utah!
Finley. My only niece and Reese's only female cousin.
Hudson. He is one smart little dude and cute as can be. He and Bear will get along famously.
More cuteness from my niece.
Finley with my sister Julia and her boyfriend Hyrum. We had a great dinner with them last Wednesday night.
Show me that smile gorgeous!
Hudson showing me his muscles.
Hudson also makes a mean chocolate milkshake with coco pebbles cereal, ice cream and the much coveted by me, Vita-mix blender.

HOLY CANNOLI!! we seem to do EVERYTHING in the same timeline...getting married, having kids, even moving and renting out houses! Packers come 16-17 and movers will be here on the 18th. We'll be in dallas for week of thankgiving then will be traveling to oklahoma, then to colorado to see grandcanyon and thru utah (ahem...) then up to WA. sorry we wont see u this trip since u guys will also be moving. what a crazy universe!!
I know moving is a huuuuge stress, but the rest sounds like fun. Not only are you close to family, but you nice access to the mountains. Skiing, Snowboarding (which one did you end up pursuing, I went back to skiing, I still tell people how I sat on my snowboard to get down a mountain) I would love to move to Utah for a year or two (that's it of course) and truly appreciate everything is has to offer, including its awesome wilderness.
