Shocker!

This may come as a shock, because it did to us, but we are moving back to Utah within the next week. Phillip's boss told him they were having to make huge budget cuts on the project in Las Vegas and because Phillip is "an expensive" employee, they have to let him go early. Luckily, his office in Salt Lake the same afternoon got a HUGE project (expanding I-15 from Lehi to Orem), and really need his help. So it is a huge blessing we are not out of a job and there is much work for Phillip to do.

When we received this news, we were both so confused. There are so many pros to moving back (I really missed being by family), but there are lots of cons too. The main one is we feel incomplete, because we don't get to finish what we started. We've been in Las Vegas for 3 months now and I'm really going to miss a few things...being close to our St. George and So. Cal family, the gym I go to (Jane LOVES the playroom), our ward...I have met some pretty incredible girls, and I'll really miss the new adventures we had planned. I feel good about the 3 months we've lived here, it's been a good experience for all of us. I know that Heavenly Father is sending us back to Utah for a reason and like always, we are always in His hands. I trust Him.

Our plans are to move Dec. 23...right before Christmas. We might have to move it back a week for Phillip to finish what he is working on right now, but it's for sure, we will be Utahns again soon.

I hope your Holidays are wonderful this year. I'm excited to see many of you! Merry Christmas!
