A big decision (that many of you know already!!)

Arizona or the Rockies?? Arizona or the Rockies??




We are moving, we are not moving, we are moving, we are not moving , we are moving, we are not moving .......back and forth, back and forth! Ahhhh, craziness for sure.



Three days ago, Ry and I made our decision. After we came to our decision, we were exhausted, we were done. Our brains were worn out...that was the hardest 2 weeks we have ever lived. No lie.





We did not want to talk about it anymore. no more late-night endless conversation's, no more long lists, no more pros's and cons, no more "what ifs," ...No more period.





So I didn't announce it on my blog but then I started get emails from some of my friends and my blogging friends inquiring of our answer. Sorry I did not mean to ignore you all, I am actually flattered you all care.....



I will not go into the details of our decision because frankly I don't have that long! Ultimately we did what was right for Ry and I, we did what was right for our family, and we did what FELT right in our hearts...


But we are..........




staying.







We are home. and it F E E L S so good.






love the Rockies,






love Utah,






love our families,






love our friends,





and for now,




that's what counts the most.

OH girl!! I seriously feel for you and your family. What a hard couple of weeks you have had. I have been checking your blog everyday waiting for your to post your 'decision'. I am sure that was such an agonizing one to make. BUT..... for the rest of us WE ARE SO HAPPY!!! We get to keep you in our state!! Wahoo!! NOW LET'S GET TOGETHER!!!! :)

Yay!!! So happy. We are having too much fun lately and we don't want it to end. I'm glad the party girl isn't leaving because it wouldn't be the same without ya!! Even though I would have been happy for you if you picked AZ, but now I'm happy for me that you didn't. Now sleep tight.

Glad to hear that you were able to make your decision together. All that communicating and togetherness....will come in very handy as the kids get older and you continue to make decisions together and converse about life and the kids' lives, etc. Just wait till middle school! We got through our residences/careers conversations to now be replaced by talking about our middle schooler making good decisions, etc. Kudos to the great communicating parents!

Well, I'm glad you were able to make the decision that you and Ry feel good about. That's the most important thing. Such a hard time and hard choice but I'm so glad you were able to finally come to peace with what you felt was best for you and your family.

The Rockies could kick the cacti's ass any day, holla. (Is cacti plural for cactus? Cactuses? Catctusees? wtf?)

So glad you're staying. (I could have told you that was the right decision all along, haha.)

Brooke told me today that you were staying! I am happy for you. Happy that you are happy and don't have to be so stressed out, pressured, consumed with such a life changing decision. Can't wait to play in the sun:)

Penny said...

I am happy too. And I am glad that this hard part is over. I love you both.

Brooke said...

You know how I feel about you staying!!! I'm so happy! I'm glad I can pull the kids over in a wagon and just stop by the house and see your hair. I'm glad we can easily sneak out on a walk or just borrow an egg or some milk. Its wonderful to know that my sis is still here!! And will stay! :)

Nancy said...

So happy you made your decision. I don't like to move into a different house, let alone a different state. Arizona is fine, but it would be too much sun even for YOU!

So glad you are staying!
