Ok girls!!! Tomorrow , Thursday, Mike heads out to UT to interview!!!! We are pretty hopeful. I just hope everything is what he and they are expecting! I just want to know!! All I do is make all these plans in my head all day and night long. I would just really like know either way.
I've been looking at housing, rentals and it's hard to find a month to month. I even started looking at storage places because it's hard to find a rental with a garage. Oh well... it has given me something to do all day.
I better get off the computer... !'ve been on it for hours off and on!!!
Wish us luck and say a little prayer!

Memorial Day Weekend
We had the best time This weekend! We ended up in Indio, just outside of Palm Springs with Mikes side of the family! We all just love getting together. The house was super great and we spent the majority of our time in the pool!
One of the nights Jason had a Murder Mystery planed that was a huge hit!!!We through a baby shower for Jason and Megan and made J eat baby food! Hilarious! We also played a game where the guys were blind folded and had to feel the girls body parts i.e. foot, arms, hands, legs.. and find their spouse. It was so funny!
Each day we had a devotional and on Sunday held our own Church and shared some really great time together. We watched home videos and just really enjoyed being together. Hopefully next year we can get Scott and his family to join us.
It was such a great weekend. The only mishap was when Molly got stung by a bee! She was tough and so cute showing everyone her finger!
A huge thanks to Dean and Diane for a wonderful weekend.Thanks everyone for coming so far!
I'd also like to take the time to express my gratitude to all the countless service men and woman who protect this country I love so dearly. I have a special love for service men and woman. My family and I will forever be indebted to you for the sacrifices you make everyday.I am proud to be an American and I give thanks daily for the freedoms we all enjoy because of you!

Next Step...
So Mike has his flight to fly out next Thursday to meet and interview!!! Keep your fingers crossed! I, no we, have been getting really excited looking at the housing market in Utah! It's hard not to want the biggest house but I have to remind myself to stay practical. We still need to live in Ut for a little to get a feel for the areas before we take the plunge. So help me out girls. So many of you have lived there or visited or know people who live there. What are some of your favorite areas of Salt Lake? We aren't sure if we want to buy new or an older home. WE do want to keep Mikes commute to under 30 min. He'll be working down town. Bring on the recommendations!!!

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!
