per request...

I have not disappeared or fallen off the face of the earth.

It has taken some time to get adjusted to our

new home, city, neighborhood and life.

I wish I could say I was adjusted, loving the change

and enjoying our new surroundings.

I am doing better and with time I will

fully embrace Utah.

I am grateful for the new friends I have made.

They have made me feel welcome, included me

and helped me with this transition.

I am also so thankful for my AZ friends that 

have visited, called and checked up on me.

There have been numerous requests to

get a glimpse of the new house.

Here you go...

This is the downstairs family room aka Alec's room

We are fortunate to have a theater room.

We LOVE it!

Family room

Kitchen and dining room

I love how everything is open and

the kitchen has been a dream

to bake and cook in. Double ovens

have been fabulous!

This is the side of the backyard and

set up for Lacrosse.

We have been blessed to be in a great

neighborhood with numerous friends for Alec.

He is one of twenty-three Deacons!

I couldn't ask for more for him.

Our home is so lovely and amazing.

I just have to be patient with myself

and try a little harder to adjust.

one month...

it has been one month since we made the move.

i wish i could say that it has been easy.

we got unpacked and somewhat settled within a week...

i am not someone who likes boxes, and craziness.

so, within a week we had unpacked and had pictures

on the walls and had our first guests.

it seems that everyone is adjusting pretty well,

except for me. i am still struggling.

change does not come easy for me.

i know it will take time and i am trying

to be patient. some days are easier

than others and i keep telling myself...

"I can do hard things"

and

"It will all work out"

i have to be patient and i try

to keep myself busy each day.

my heart still longs for Arizona.

It is a reality...

The move is really happening.

I have been asked by numerous people lately

where are we going, when are we going, and

do we have a house yet?

This beautiful home is our new home in

Highland, Utah.

We have had a lot of tender mercies

with this move.

We are supposed to move to Utah.

I don't know why.

Other than our Heavenly Father

wants us there.

And so we move forward with

"Faith" knowing that this

is all part of his plan.
