Wow. Has it really been 2 whole months since I've been on blogger? Well for those of you who haven't heard yet- Ryan and I are moving to Utah. He is getting transfered up there for 5 months. He will be on a project that is remodeling a Target to turn it into a Super Target. The job is in Cottonwood, (south of SLC) but we are looking for houses in the Sandy/Lehi area. He will be gone by June 1st and I'll go up around the 20th.
We found out last Friday and since then I have run the gammit of emotions. At first I was really excited, then totally scared, then sad and now just kinda numb. It doesnt really feel real yet. I finally cried about it last night and now I feel a little bit better about it. I know this is such a good thing for Ryan, his job and for us as a family. We have been wanting to move away for years, now we get the chance to try it out and see if we like it. It's the perfect time of year- we get to escape the heat and we'll be able to see fall and maybe snow and then be back before it gets too cold.
I'm a detail oriented person, so all I can think about is having to pack up my house, what stuff will stay, what will go and when will I get it all done! Since I'm staying to do my first session of swim lessons, I'll be teaching 6 hours everyday and then packing at night- all without Ryan. I think that is the part that kills me the most. I don't know if I can handle being alone for that long. Originally it was going to be about 5 weeks that I'd be by myself, but somethings have changed and now it'll only be about 3 weeks- so that's better, but still hard.
So hopefully this will motivate me to keep my blog updated more frequently- so I can keep in touch with everyone!

If you want, we can do a Girls night ; ) Or we can have a big play date with everyone. You know the Bunco Girls will keep you company !
I am a little bit jealous you're moving to Utah. It's such a gorgeous place. I LOVE the weather year round there. Never too hot and totally awesome in the winter time. I would move there in a heartbeat.
Let me know if you need any help packing, etc. I am more than happy to take your kids for a couple hours if you need it.
I think this is going to be a fun adventure. I hate moving, but it is nice to start on a clean slate.
KIT!
We will miss you. You know who to call when you need help!
