so this is probably the last post i'll be able to do for a while and the last one as a resident of utah!
the boys are pulling out on the 25th. 5 days and counting. we are borrowing a trailer from curtis' cousin and his grandpa will pull that down while curtis drives our truck and pulls our car behind it. his brother will also ride down with them to help us unload everything at our apartment. the kiddies and i are flying out on the 27th and curtis' mom is coming with us. this was not in our original plan but we were able to find tickets for $50 a person so we went for it! we figured after the cost of gas for the car, a hotel for at least one night and food, the price of the plane tickets was about the same and it wouldnt be nearly as miserable as driving 22 hours with a 2 year old and 2 month old. curtis was in dallas a couple weeks ago for work so he found us an apartment. it isnt the nicest thing on the block but it ended up being just what we need right now and we dont plan on staying there for long anyway. it had the cheapest rent and utilites are included which is huge because utlities are super expensive down there! we were also able to get a month to month rent worked out so that when we find a house we wont be stuck in a contract. the land ladies seem really nice and sent us a little card the week after curtis booked our apartment. there are several cops that live there and its supposed to be a quiet neighborhood so thats pretty cool. truthfully i am really excited!! we have heard a ton of great things about texas and we are so lucky to be moving somewhere people want to stay instead of trying to get out (like california :). we will have a temple close by and our church will only be about 15 minutes away. we will also be living near a lake so that is exciting for summer activities. on the down side, i'm scared to death. i have lived in cedar since i was 3. both curtis and i have family here and it will be a bummer not to go to all the get togethers. we will have to find babysitters now instead of calling my mom. since it's the mission field we have been warned that there is a good chance we will get some pretty serious callings which curtis and i are both dreading :) and worst of all we have to make new friends :( i dont want new friends. i love the ones i already have! ugh. i am certainly not looking forward to that part. heavenly father definitely knows how to get you out of your comfort zone. i'm gonna suck it up and try to enjoy myself!
so here's to the next chapter in our lives. new baby, new job, new state, new house. it's the right thing to do so i know everything will turn out exactly how it's supposed to! hopefully you hear from us soon!
goodbye utah, hello texas!
Good Luck with every thing.
