All In The Same Town Again...

Over a week ago, we headed down to St. George to see Travis' brother who recently returned from his mission to Anaheim, California -Spanish speaking. We also went to my cousin, Camarie's wedding. (Although I didn't get any pictures) But it was a really fun weekend and we were really sad to leave St. George.

Here are all of the boys in Travis' family:

L-R, T-B: Charles(Travis' sister, Rachel's husband), Travis, Jason, Chad, Dallas(He lost A LOT of weight on his mission), Dustin, Dad, Jared, and Dan.

I don't think we could get one picture without someone making a silly face...

Ok, you're all dismissed...

And that means.... DOG PILE!!!

And now for some unexpected and exciting news..... We're moving to St. George!!!!! We've known for a little while (maybe a month) that we'd probably move to St. George someday, but we thought we might wait a year or so... But when we were driving back up to Ogden over a week ago, we felt really sad to leave St. George. That we were leaving our home, and also we felt that it was the place that we needed to be as soon as possible. I mean, if we're supposed to do something, why wait?

So during the week, I was browsing online at rental prices, and everything seemed a little too high... (We're used to Ogden rental prices) But then.... I found an apartment! It looked like it was too good to be true! But it had pictures, and it was three bedrooms, and it looked decent. And I just had a good feeling about it. So I called them, and they said that they could only hold it for two weeks after we paid the deposit. She also said that they would only give it to us if Travis had a job offer in St. George. Well, so we prayed about it, we went to the temple together on Thursday. We got our answer, and just felt good about everything. And Travis called his old work and they offered him a job. And so we took another trip down to St. George this past weekend. We left at 4:00 am Saturday morning, and made it to our 10:00am apointment to look at the apartment. Well, we loved it, and love the area, so we took it. We're moving in Easter weekend!!! I will live in it, while Travis will come back to Ogden to stay for the last three weeks of the semester until graduation. In the meantime he will also see what other job opportunities he can find so he can take the best option.

So, after we looked at the apartment, we went and surprised Travis' family with the news. (They had no idea!) Of course they were ecstatic! And I got the biggest, tightest hug ever from my mother in law. So after two years of Dallas on his mission, and two years of us being in Ogden. All of Travis' 7 siblings and us and Travis' parents will be back in the same town again... That is a pretty rare thing now a days to have everyone in the family live in the same town, especially when there's eight kids involved! But we are excited! Now I just have to get packing and cleaning...
