We're moving to Provo, Utah! I know... exciting, huh? It definitely won't be anything like Florida. We're going to miss Florida and Disney World like CRAZY! But our plan is still to settle in Orlando. We love it too much.
So here's our reasoning behind this:
1. We like adventures.
2. Keith will be able to get his degree, and new job will pay tuition.
3. We miss living closer to family.
4. We don't make enough money here for the amount of work we do.
5. Most of our close friends live in Utah, and we miss them dearly.
If you would have asked me a couple months ago if I wanted to move to Utah I would have said "HEEEEEEEEEEECK no." But things have changed. When my brother died I regretted not being able to see him more often, and the reason was because I lived too far away. Now, we'll be a days drive from most of my family in California, and my mom is on a mission in Salt Lake City, so I'll get to see her too!
I also have lost touch with my best friends and it just so happens that most of them live in Utah. I know it won't be the same as it was in high school; we've all grown up and some are married and such, but it will still be nice to have them around!
Keith interviewed for a air/heating company that his Uncle Scott works for. Scott was able to get Keith's brother, Steve a job last year, and so he helped Keith nab this job. The interviewers loved him (What's not to love?) and he got the job! It pays more than the both of us make right now! I won't have to work as hard anymore (YAY!). I'll try to get a part time job somewhere in town. There's a new Hobby Lobby being built, maybe I'll work there! Haha... we'll see.
Keith starts his new job on July 12th, so we need to get packed and GO! We leave on the 2nd of July, are driving straight to San Antonio, staying there for the 4th of July celebrations, and leaving again on the 5th. It's gonna be a LOOONG trip, but we're excited!
We'll be living in a house/condo/town home (whatever we can find) with Keith's brother Steve and his wife Rakel. It'll be interesting and fun to see how that works out.
BASICALLY, it's what's right for right now for us. Keith needs his education, and I need my family close by, so it works out perfectly.
We're not done with Disney. In fact, I'm planning on going seasonal, which means I only have to work 40 hours each year to keep my Disney benefits. I'll try to make that work, because I really want to go to Disneyland for free a lot! haha
Well that's the story. I'll keep you all updated.

You're Moving to PROVO!!!! You have to come and see us!!! We're actually moving to Logan at the end of August for Graduate school for Joel, but we'll be here in Provo till then, plus Logan's not too far from Provo so we can still visit.
