It's final!

We're moving to Utah. Long story short, we felt the Spirit and we're obeying. We'll be leaving at the end of October and we've found a home in Cedar Hills that we'll be renting. This has nothing to do with how much we love it here or about not making it financially. I've been so conflicted about this b/c of how much I love it here. But the peace I've felt since deciding to obey the promptings that I felt is indescribeable. Doesn't mean I'm not freaked out-we'll be doing the same thing we did when coming here-HUGE leap of faith, going without a secure job yet. But we have faith that it will all work out.

Pictures of our fun trip to Utah for the wedding and Disneyland coming soon!

ps-if you know a dentist who is hiring let us know :) doesn't hurt to nudge that faith along

Oh wait, I'll see you way before that since we'll be in the same state again.

wow, that is a surprise.

Aim Aug said...

Yay! You'll love Cedar Hills! Do you know which neighborhood you're moving into? Good luck!

Nancy said...

Wow! Crazy, I want to hear the story! I am actually very jealous of you...I would LOVE to live in Utah! Now I can see you when I come visit family. We are coming in October, but we leave on the 27th, so I think we will just miss you. Next time though!

I know of a couple dentists hiring in my area, but we are north of Salt Lake and I don't think the commute would be worth it. I'll talk to my dad though. He's still doing some marketing for dentists and you'll be in the same area that they are. I'm sure he will know of someone. I'll keep you posted.

Never dull! Life has a crazy way of making our lives ever interesting. I am glad you guys found a place...and good luck with a job. You will definitely be blessed for listening. The bad news is...I avoid having to go to UT as much as I can...but when we come up...hopefully we'll see you!
Love ya!!

Alison said...

Loralee, you are always full of surprises. I definitely know what it feels like to follow the spirit into the scary and unknown. I really hope it works out. We miss you guys.

Julie said...

So I'm not happy at all you're leaving, but totally understand you gotta do whats best for your fam! Let me know what I can do to help! I've moved LOTS and now how much it stinks! Looks like you guys had a fun and super busy time at the wedding!

Adam and Jess said...

It does take a lot of faith to do something like that blindly, not always knowing why. Good luck though. It will be so nice to be near a lot of the family.

Alisha said...

I'll be waiting with bells on. =) Wahoo!
