WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO

You always know when someone is going to giving you bad new.

They sit you down and look at you with a sad/serious face. Then come the words you new you would hear, "I have some bad news".  And in your mind you are trying to figure out what could possibly be going on.

Well as you probably guessed, this happened to me about a month ago.

I was eating breakfast and Michael sat next to me and told me that he "had some bad news".

I stopped eating and just stared at him waiting for the news, 
but I had an idea of what he was going to say.

I normally never get bad news and the look Michael had on his face told me everything.

We were moving.

Once it finally came from his mouth I burst into tears.

He began to tell me that we would be moving to Tualatin, OR
 
 Michaels Parents need his help with the Business in Oregon because it is doing so well.  He is needed so that the business can continue growing.

His pay will go up, he will have better hours, he will get to work at home sometimes and we would be living right next to family.

This truly is an amazing offer for my family, so of course I wouldn't have let Michael not take this offer.
Even though it saddens me to leave Utah and move further away from my family, I know that this is where we are suppose to be heading.  It feels right and I know I can be just as happy in Oregon as I am here in Utah.

I am so grateful that we at least get to live by family and I love Michael's family.  It will be a wonderful change to be able to have family so close.

Throughout the day I would randomly start crying because I would start to think of how much I am going to miss Utah.  I had already envisioned my life here in Utah, I had already picked out where I wanted to live and have my children grow up. And I will miss the wonderful Summers Utah has to offer.  I will mostly miss having my family come to visit for the weekend because it is such a short trip.  And I will also miss the Ward we are in.  This Ward has been the best Ward we have been in sense being married.  Everyone is so caring and loving.  It will be hard to leave everyone.

After time had passed though and we found a place to live in Oregon, 
positive thoughts about Oregon started to come in.
And I have began to get excited to move.

We get to rent the house that Michael grew up in from his parents, we will live in a great location that is very close to his parents(which I am so excited about), summers are just as great in Oregon as they are in Utah, we already know a lot of people there and in the Ward we will be going to, we will have plenty of space for all of my family to come and visit us and Michael gets to work with his family and learn the business that he loves.

 We are truly so blessed for this wonderful life that we have been given. I am so grateful for this amazing opportunity that we get. 
 
In the end it is all about family and I would move anywhere for my family.
Ruth 1:16 "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay."

The Lord has a plan for everyone, we just need to trust in him to lead us the way.
We leave at the end of October.

Two Down and Eternity to Go

    This year we decided to do something simple for our anniversary  All I knew for this anniversary is that we were going to eat somewhere in downtown Salt Lake.   To my surprise I have the most brilliant husband ever because he took me to my most favorite restaurant ever!!    Cheesecake Factory!  Don't ask me why, but it is the best restaurant ever! I know you might be thinking.  "wow this girl is crazy",  but just trust me nothing can beat The Cheesecake Factory.   My favorite's there are:  Avocado eggrolls and sweetcorn tamale cakes for appetizers.   For the dinner plate their garlic noodles with shrimp and some parmesan on top.  Then of course for dessert I love love love there ultimate red velvet cheesecake and their Oreo one is pretty good as well. Anytime we go somewhere new and they have a cheesecake factory we have to go.   It is my goal to go to as many as I can in my li...

OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN IS DUE MAY 9, 2015

Yup you read that right we are having a baby, May 9, 2015!! I surprised Michael by sending him a picture of my pregnancy test. So when he woke up that was the first thing he saw. I did the same with my mom because I needed her guidance on what I needed to do. It was defiantly killing her to not be able to tell anyone the news, but I definitely appreciate all the advice I have gotten as well as another person to talk to about it. We were so excited when we found out, we just wanted to tell everyone right away, but we waited and learned patience. I would have been so heart broken to have to tell everyone if we had a miscarriage. When we found out I was pregnant, I was 5 weeks along, so for my first appointment they had to take a blood test.  For those of you who know me, know that I do not do well  with needles and veins in the same sentence. As you can imagine I did not do well.   I kept moving an...
