goodbye.

Before you start reading this it is mandatory that you download "As we go on" by Vitamin C and listen to it while reading.

So I decided to get this out of the way now, rather than when we are actually leaving, which would be this weekend. Not that I don't want to say goodbye, I just can't imagine any free time in the near future for me to really putter around on the internet. Tamye is not proofreading this one, and since this is the family blog I am going to take a leap of faith and do my best to speak on behalf of her feelings as well.

We are excited to go. It is past time for us to pick up what we have here and start fresh somewhere else. Utah was the obvious choice since we are getting a lot of support from family there, and now that we have a little family of ourselves we fully comprehend the importance of having people that truly care about you in your life. It makes us both sad to leave a lot of family here, but this is the right decision for us at this time.

It has been an interesting experience for me announcing the move and them witnessing the subsequent reactions to said news. I have been greeted with anything from complete indifference to expressions of grief. This wasn't the surprising part since I realize that we are a combination of awesome and jerk both awesome, and kind of a dick. The surprising part is that people who have known me for less than a year or so seem more upset about us moving to Utah than people I have known forever.

To those of you who will miss us: we will miss you too, and are sad to leave these friendships behind to weaken with the distance. It is a sad thing.

To those of you who opt not to acknowledge the fact that we are leaving: there is a reason we are done with Arizona. Have a fantastic life, I love you.

Whoa, we just got all serious in this bitch. There, that's better.

We have extremely high hopes for the future and I think we are both looking at Utah and a fresh start to everything. I can't wait to finally arrive at our new residence so we can begin the long road to getting what we want in life.


I only kinda proofread, sorry

Whoops, haven't posted in a few months.

Ya so I lied when I said this will be the first of many blah blah blah... Whatever though, better late than never.

Here is the update:

As of the end of May we are moving up to Utah! Yes, back to the motherland, Mormo jokes can begin now. It took quite a bit of talking between myself and Tamye before we both decided it was the best move for our family to make. I can't see the downside of having my son around grandparents that will love him, and aunts and uncles that can play with him. I realized all my initial reservations about moving back to Zion were selfish, so it is easy now for my to say goodbye to this wretched desert. There are some who we will definitely miss. And, there are definitely more than a handle of folks we are excited to leave.

All in all, we cannot wait to get there!

Also, many people know by now, but Tamye is pregnant again! We are both very excited to round off our family nicely with a second child. Tamye doesn't like to say it, but I will anyway, we both hope it is a girl. She is paranoid that if we hope for one gender we'll get the other. Damn science and all that, pregnancy is all a bunch of superstitions and witch-doctory.

That I guess would be the two major updates in our lives this year. In other news, G turns 1 on May 13th. All I have to say to that is: HOLY SHIT!. I am going to school at ITT Tech. It is a huge breathe of fresh air from all that online school crap. Seriously. Online school may as well be called dumbline school.

That's it.

Also, I really didn't feel like proofreading, so don't call all huffy if my grammar sucks. It's 2 parts laziness and 1 part my grammar does in fact suck.
