I'll be back

I haven't posted for over a week. Shame on me, I know. BUT, I've been a little busy nursing a backache, preparing for and then gorging celebrating Thanksgiving and last, but not at all the least, making life changing plans to become effective on Monday.

So, let's just get this out of the way because I'm sure you're more interested in finding out about my life changing plans (not the fact that my back has been killing me for over a week now). I resigned from my current job last week and my last day is Friday (the day after tomorrow but who's counting?). I've accepted a new job and I start Monday. Oh, and I should mention that my new job is based out of Lehi, Utah and I'm moving. I am not moving on Monday though, just to clarify.

I will travel to Utah on Monday and work there for the week and then come home in time for the ward Christmas party. I'll work from home until after the holidays and then plan to move right around the first of the year (give or take depending on a few details).

Everyone asks, "What about your Dad?". He will not be starting a new job in Utah on Monday and will stay here and keep watch over the castle. And Penny. And my stuff. I'm not taking my stuff just yet. Don't worry about him, he's already making plans to update the flooring, window coverings and paint after I'm out of state.

So, for those of you feeling sad about me leaving, I'm not so much moving as I am not working or sleeping in Missouri anymore. If you're missing me too much, you can just come by and visit my stuff. Just be sure to call the house first to make sure my Dad is home. He could be at Home Depot or Aldi.

I am very excited about this new opportunity for change. And, I will be back every so often to visit my stuff Dad.

And just because I'm nice like that, here's a picture to distract you from the fact that I am moving out of state.
"My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades."

I am thrilled!!! I would really like the details so I may call you but I don't know if I have the right number. South Jordan is only 20 minutes from Lehi so you should live here and commute that way I will be able to see you often (since I haven't seen you in 6 1/2 years). Yea!!!

Okay, so I'm crying. Thanks a lot. You know how I hate crying. I'm already missing you. Your stuff won't do it for me, sorry.

BUT I am happy for you because you seem happy and that's more important.

But Chris is right. What's going on? Why is everyone leaving??

ok, YAHOO, Utah is SO much closer than Missiouri! So maybe you will be there long enough for us to get a visit in!
You can just jump in your car and drive here! :)

Found your new destination...North of Provo, south of Salt Lake City and really close to Utah Lake. WoW, very pretty country. Can't upload the map but you will be just off I-15. I'm so excited for you and you'll be closer to me!!!

Angie told me all about it, so I got a sneak preview. I'm so excited for you! This sounds like such a great opportunity for you. Hope all goes well...and we are keeping both you and your dad in our prayers!

Allison said...

I'm still trying to take it all in but thanks for giving me the heads up because this way would not have been my favorite!

WAHOO!!! I'm excited because you're closer to me, flights are cheaper to/from you, and whenever I visit my parents... there you will be :)
PLUS, I'm sure we'll end up there some day too!!! We could be neighbors :)

I love you! This will be a good life change...
