One day in July, Dale called me to tell me that the Milwaukee guy over the West had just called him and asked him if he would like to take over the Northwest region which needed some help. This would mean moving. I told him it was up to him, but really I was thinking, I SOOOO don't want to move again. Within a few weeks, I was living in my parents basement in Utah so we could get the kids registered for school and Dale was in Florida finishing out his job there. It took a lot of searching, but this is the house we found to rent. This is what I'll miss about Florida: Warm winters, the beach, great friends, friendly people, the running trail, wearing sandals all year round, Disneyworld and Sea World, our awesome ward, palm trees, squirrels scurrying everywhere, oranges to juice, and the beauty of the green everywhere.
This is looking up our street - yep, that's the church. That is a definate plus about Utah. You're never too far from a church. Our neighbors are VERY friendly.
From our front porch, you can see the Draper temple, Jordan River temple, and Oquirrh Hills temple and of course the beautiful mountain range. Look how far you can see - no trees.
The best part of this house is that it has this huge extra garage in the backyard. Dale is in love with all the cement too.
Dale's parents just left for a mission to South Africa. They will be missed, but we did sneak in a BYU game in the loge before they left.
Shelby turned 5 and we celebrated by giving her cake.
We've had fun playing with cousins.
Max is now in a big boy bed and we are attempting to wean him from the binki.
Max had a birthday - he's 2!! How time flies. My Florida baby won't even remember Florida. He had to be held back from the candles because he wanted to blow them out so bad. He got a sand and water table for outside - too bad it's already starting to get cold.

Yeah, you are settled. You look like you are near Saratoga Springs where my sister is. We will have to stop by some time!
Glad things are going well! I too, miss those wonderful things about Florida, but there is really no place like home ;)
Hi Tammy, I'm so glad you're back here in Utah. We'll have to hang out sometime. Your dad told me about the house you found to rent. It sounds awesome. Bryce would absolutely love that extra garage in back. As it is now, we're already needing a 4-car garage with all his stuff.
Miss you like crazy but glad you are settling in! Your house looks darling. The boys are excited to see you guys! It is soooo hot lately, a little cold sounds nice!
How fun! I love your house! We are going t miss all those things about Florida too- but Utah is great too! :-) We need to get together soon since we are so close! YAY! (Brynn would love to have a little playdate with Max!)
Wow, you're in Utah now! Your new place looks beautiful & I'm loving those clear skies...it must be fall in Washington! Good luck with everything!
