Hello Utah!!

Well, we made it! Things are crazy, more posts to come...

Change

Kelly says the blog is too orange now, but I love fall colors so we will leave it "too orange" for awhile. :)

So, we are moving!! We decided Phoenix is not the place we want to raise our family-- and about the time we decided on that, Kelly got an email from his friend telling him he should apply for a job at their office in Utah. He fixed up his resume that night and emailed it back to his friend, and a couple other places. We figured maybe things would start happening and we'd be back to Utah by the end of the year. Well, within a week, Kelly had two interviews and a third company had given an offer. And about a week after that, he received offers from the other two, as well. It was a tough decision, but he finally settled on Horrocks Engineers, (not the job with his good friend, but maybe in the future). So here it is not even a month later, and we are frantically packing to be in Utah by next week. It's amazing how the Lord works...everything has just fallen into place. We are so excited! Lots of people think we are crazy for moving this time of year because it's finally getting nice here and cold in Utah--but we are actually excited about that part, too. Okay well--we realize we are in trouble because 70 feels cold to us now, but snow!! yay!! and maybe even a "white Christmas"!! We are "seasons" kind of people. We are looking forward to four distinct seasons. We are also anxious for "real" grass, basements, NO SILVERFISH or SCORPIONS, Magelby's Fresh, mountains, Kelly's excited to fish the Provo, I'm excited for Roberts and other real scrapbook stores, and of course we'll be by our FAMILIES!! So what's being a little cold in comparison to all that?!? Our only problem is leaving Darin and Shelly...we will sure miss you!! Move to Utah!! ;) Well, there you have it. That's the somewhat short explanation of our sudden change--so, we're hoping to see some of you soon!

Oh, and I can't post without adding a picture of Karly, so here are some of her after her first birthday party a couple weeks ago. She had a great time! They played with animal balloons and had little hats, which obviously Karly didn't want to take off. They also had a pinata full of toys, candy and play-dough. It was fun, (but a little exhausting for the moms).
