This is a decision that took us many weeks to decide. Pretty soon after we got back from Disneyland we began exploring the possiblity. We truly went back and forth multiple times about the decision. We decided to go ahead and have Kyle go through with the interview process for the job in St. Louis and see where it took us. He flew through all of the interviews and they loved him and insisted they had to have him as the Manager in St. Louis. The last thing they wanted to do as part of the interview process was to fly both of us out to St. Louis to see what we though. So two days after they told us that we were on a plane on our way to St Louis. We were only in St. Louis for a couple of days but had a chance to drive around and look at some of the area's we had been looking at online, find the church, and visit the children's hopsital. Kyle also went into the office to meet the team and that went very well. We took the plane ride home to make the decision on if we were ready to go ahead and move or not. By the time we had landed back in Utah we had decided to move our family to St. Louis. That of course made me errupt in tears, happy and scared tears all at the same time.
It is going to be a big change for our family. It will be hard to leave ALL our family. But we are hoping to get a few things out of this move for our fmaily. We want to our family to grow closer to each other and to rely on one another. We want our kids to experince life outside fo the Utah bubble. We (mainly, I) want to experience the church outside of Utah as well.
We feel pretty confident that we will eventually end up back in Utah at some point, not sure when that will be but are hopeful we will.
It is going to be so hard to say goodbye to all of our friends and family here. There are so many memories here and things are comfortable here. But we want to challenge ourselves and get out of our comfort zone. So here is to new adventures ahead!
