Adventure

This picture makes me laugh now, but at the time I was going through what would end up being 3 days of all natural labor with Samuel. And that my friends, was no laughing matter. Why on earth would I put myself through such a thing, you ask? Cause I can do hard things.

Over the last 19 years we have lived in many places across the country. The moves had always been initiated by better opportunities in Brett's line of work -sales. Added mula for an ever growing family was a bonus, but the biggest pay day came in the form of friends we made along the way. Kurt and Julie in Provo, Lee and Juliana in Ohio, Cindy, Jen, Kim and Steve in Chicago, Daisie in Houston, Kristin, Michelle and Blue in Salt Lake and countless others who have had a profound impact on me and the lives of my children. We savored the time living close to family in Georgia, Ohio and Houston. Get togethers with my sisters and in-laws here in Utah have been priceless!

As typical with any sales job cycle you have good years and not so good years. Budget cuts in the lowest dollar per pupil state in the Union have left my educational sales hubby in a difficult position. As we've prayed about what to do without completely uprooting our two high school girls the answer seemed rather simple. Sell the house.

Because we bought our home just before the big housing boom at a crazy good price we felt that if we could sell for current market value we could live on the equity for several years until the oldest two graduate and something better presents itself work wise. A darling family in our ward who were just preparing to move themselves jumped on it and long story short, we close after the holidays.

Come February 1st comfy chaos will be taking up new residency. (heavy sigh).Who knows what adventures lie ahead? But ready or not here we go, again.
