Transitions...

This is a transition year for most of our family members. We've moved 9 times since getting married so we definitely know that moving is exciting because you get to explore a new place but it's also hard because you're leaving a life that you built behind. Our hearts are with our sibbies (and sibbies-in-law) that are packing up (some on their own, some with moving companies which we are totally jealous about) and heading to a new adventure! From earliest to latest, here's where they are goin:

Kristie is taking a break from snowy cold weather in Colorado and is headed to the desert in Phoenix where she is going to be working at the Arthritis Foundation. She is on her way right this very second!
Andy graduated from Ranger School (BIG Hooray! It was quite an accomplishment!) and he and Paige are headed for Germany. The army base is in Baumholder, a little city an hour east of Luxembourg. They leave tomorrow!
Ari and Christian are headed south to San Diego. They have been living in Irvine, CA so they will still be Californians. We're excited to take a family vaca to visit them there!
Doug is graduating from the University of Arizona with his PhD in Planetary Science (he is too smart, seriously) in May and has taken a job with NASA in Texas. So he, Dana, and little Wes are moving to Houston! Pretty soon they're going to be hanging Texas flags EVERYWHERE!
And then Eli, Tan, and I are moving at the end of July! We still don't know where we're going for sure yet, but hopefully we'll know within the next month. Eli's waiting to hear from the University of Colorado at the end of this month. In the meantime, we are weighing the pros and cons of living in little Burlington, VT...... or metropolitan Norfolk, VA.
So different but both good places!

Happy Moving Everybody!!!

Wow, that's a lot of moving! Good luck deciding where to go. Isn't it fun to have options? but hard at the same time! We're excited to hear where you guys end up! I'm just sad you guys (and half the cohort) are leaving right when Aaron and I are coming back to Utah. :(

Thanks for the update on the siblings, even though I don't really keep in touch with you guys it's so nice to know what you're up to.

I just feel bad for your poor mother. But how exciting for Andy and Paige!! That will be such a cool experience for the both of them! I hope and pray you guys find yourself in a place of excitement and new possibilities... I'm sure you will.
