MOVING TIME!!!

With Shayne's new job in Draper, we knew that a move was in our future. We planned to move up North to save Shayne in fuel but when we found the perfect place in Spanish Fork - - - we couldn't say no! That's right, we are moving to Spanish Fork shortly. We are very excited. We are moving to the adorable Somerset Village. We have looked at these home to possibly buy for many years now; we love the open spaces, the quality of the homes (which we know because they are the same builders of my parents home near the SF golf course), the floor plans, and the potential of them. They are also very affordable.

The home that we have chosen to rent is a three bedroom town home style end unit. IT has a open ground floor where there is a kitchen and big space for a table and couches. It also has a bathroom, laundry room, pantry (I HAVE MISSED ONE SO MUCH), and garage. There is a full unfinished basement, great for storage. Upstairs there are two full bathrooms (one in the master bedroom and one for the girls) and three large bedrooms. The girls will each have their own room until we feel Kaitlyn is ready to sleep with Danelle again. (Kaitlyn still has SOME rough nights in this area and Danelle keeps her awake as well.) The best part is our room! I LOVE our room! It's nice and wide, has a bathroom with a jetted tub, and a closet that could double a nursery because it is SO BIG! My closet has a window in it - it's THAT BIG. Needless to say, this house will be much less cramped.

I love the new neighborhood as well. Behind our house is a large grassy area that the girls can go out and play. There are many young families just like us with young children of their own for the girls to play with. There is a park in the community less than a minute walk from the house. Even though the gates are never closed, I like the idea of being in a gated community as well. We know we will be very happy there.

Of course moving makes me sad in some ways too. You don't just live somewhere just shy of three years and not grow attached to a place. We have many memories in this home. Danelle has spent half of her life here. Three of each holiday, all of Danelle's preschool years and first year of Kindergarten, and the entire pregnancy and first year of Kaitlyn being born. Of course there were moments I will not care to remember (my favorite still being the "hate" mail we were getting) but it never stopped us from being happy in Provo.

I cannot fail to mention that I will miss many people in this neighborhood as well... There are a few of you (you know who you are) that were here for us during the entire three years we were here. I will never forget you! Lucky for me, Facebook will hopefully keep us in touch and we are not moving to Mars, just a couple cities South. I have really enjoyed being a neighborhood with children that share our same standard and didn't need to worry about Danelle's friends. She loves so many of your children - she will miss Eastgate so much.

We move June 4th. Contracts are signed and we are busy packing and planning away. On a side note; if you are available to help us with the move June 3rd or/and 4th that would be AWESOME. There is a lot of stuff (who knew a little two bedroom could hold so much?) and we are closing our storage unit as well so there will be tons to do. We love you all! Thanks for being so supportive of our move and our family! More updates to come!
