We've Moved!

Well, Mr. Wonderful has convinced me that we must move yet another time (this is the 4th move for us in our 3 years of marriage). I wasn't excited about the change, since we had been in our home for 19 months and I had really liked it there (despite the tedious commute to get anywhere). But opportunities speak, so we packed up and moved (I packed boxes, he moved them).

As many know, construction is slowing drastically in the north, so business was very slow for us. After scrapping for work to stay alive in Utah and Salt Lake Counties, we (as in Chris with me benefiting from it) received a big opportunity to sign on with a big project down south. It's something Chris has dreamed about since he started his Plumbing business, so he's been really excited for it. Who was I to scwelch his dreams? And, anyway, after this crazy long winter we've had, I welcomed the idea of moving to a warmer climate. So here we are in St. George and loving it, so far.

after a grueling move and unpacking for the past two weeks, our new home is settled at last. It took a little getting used to the new house for Tyler, but now he's running the place as if he's always owned it. And we have a guarantee that we'll be here for at least 2 years, since we had to sign a two-year lease. So no more moving for at least that long. As for St. George, it looks like the project will take about 6 years to complete, so we'll be here for at least that long.

So, what is St. George like? HOT??? One of my cousins told me that Jay Golden Kimball had said that if he owned a house in St. George and a house in "Heck", he'd sell the house in St. George. Now, I'm not sure of the validity of this statement by said person, but St. George can be hot (it's true). But honestly, it doesn't seem much hotter than up north. We had a little cold front last week, so the weather didn't get above 98. This week, however, the weather is back on track (105-110). Thank goodness we have our own pool!!! : ) And, I USE IT EVERY DAY!

So, if you ever make it down south, feel free to stop by! We miss all of you (family, friends, and others). We hope to see you soon!
