Hurricane Here We Come!

So, this is a long story. We're moving to Hurricane, Utah!!! I know, I know, it's shocking!! We always said we would never leave Utah County, or the family, but alas, life has taken us for quite the ride. Larry has been driving to Wyoming for his job, and is gone all the time. His boss asked him if he wanted to try out a route that left from St. George and came to Salt Lake, and then back. He said he would try it out, because we needed some extra $$. Then we talked about it, and decided that we should consider taking the job permanently. We went down and stayed in Hurricane this past week, while he tried it out. We looked at a few houses too. Finally, we came to the conclusion that it was the best thing to do. Going to Wyoming in the winter isn't safe, and we don't want to risk it. So by the first of August we are moving. 300 miles away!!!!! It's really scary. We are saddened mostly by the fact that we won't get to see Jenny, Troy, and the kids often. We love you guys!! We are going to miss the family and all our friends. This has been home for all of our lives pretty much. It is exciting, but depressing all in the same moment. Hopefully this will be a good move. We have always wanted to retire down in sunny St. George, and maybe this is our opportunity. Good thing we have a blog now, to keep all our family and friends up here up to date on our lives. Don't worry, we'll visit. We can't stay away from home for long.

Here is a picture of St. George that I love.

Wow! So many things going on! I haven't been the best at keeping up with family. My apologies. I just discovered Jen's blog tonight and clicked over to see yours. St. George/Washington, eh?! Wow! I had no idea (that is how out of touch I am). I hope you are still enjoying it. We have family (Paul's side) in Vegas. So, the next time we go down, we'll have to drop in and see your new house. Congrats on the new job, Uncle Larry! That's exciting!
