The big something iin my life...

So I have been keeping my mouth shut for the last week but I can no more! We got some possible exciting news in our family. We MAY have an opportunity to move to SLC!!! There is an opening in the Salt lake office and my husband and I have always considered moving to Utah. We passed up this same chance about 9 months ago and here it has presented itself again. We are going through the steps. Mike is going to talk to his boss here today to let him know he is interested in looking out of state. The next step will be for him to fly out and meet the office and interview. There is one other person interested in the position but she is outside of the bank and the regional boss has already told Mike he would prefer to hire from within.

So We have so much on our minds! I have had the worst sleep ever! Imagine having all sorts of emotions all at once! I am so thrilled yet scared, sad and worried all at the same time. This process would go really fast and we could be out there as early as the beginning of July! I am heart broken to possibly have to leave my sister and her little girl who will be born next month. I am sad to leave the area I adore so much. I'll miss so many people and places but I can't tell you how I have longed to live in a home that will offer my family a future of predictability, lasting relationships and roots! Utah can give us that! We can have a comfortable life and invest in our future.

I just hope it will work out. We feel strongly that this is a good time and opportunity for us to really pursue right now. We know it's a big leap of faith. We have put our trust in Heavenly Father to help us feel the confirmation needed to look into this. I know there is that possibility that this isn't going to work out. It has already been a learning experience. I have learned that we can't have all our ducks in a row all of the time. Uncertainty is ok. It's an adventure to walk blindly into the future when you have faith. Being stretched and taken out of your comfort zone is sometimes our personal refiners fire.

I have so much to look forward to. I am most excited to bloom were I am planted. I love new situations like this.I love meeting new people, falling in love with a ward and diving in feet first to new surroundings. And I won't lie.. I can't wait to buy a home! It has been a long time coming. I know it will be an emotional event for me. I feel that home ownership is a huge blessing.

I've been emailing and talking to Melissa. She was been a huge help when it comes to learning more about the area and considering renting at first. We need to get a feel for the areas before we buy!

Any way... this is whats been on my mind. Cross your fingers for us. Regardless of what happens I feel blessed to have a loving partner who is looking out for our family. This has brought us closer together and I just want what's best for our family right now!
