Moving

Moving

As you know, a few months ago Laren took a job in Utah. The kids and I have stayed here in Colorado with Laren coming home just every other weekend. We have been trying to sell our house, to no avail. Laren and I recently made the decision to move the kids and I to Utah to be all together as a family and we will continue to try and sell our house in this crazy market.

So, I've been busy, busy, busy with getting things ready for Christmas, mailing packages, getting the kids withdrawn from school here and getting ready to move. We are scrambling to find a rental over there. Blogging has taken a backseat to all of the above, but I just wanted you to know that I haven't given up on it or you, I just haven't had time for it!

Hopefully I can sit down and do a more detailed post soon. But in the meantime, MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!

    So are you moving after Christmas? So sudden, but I understand why you need to. Good luck with things.

    Wow! That's fast, but I hope it will make things easier for you to be together again. Check ksl.com for house rentals. I know there are a few in Traverse Mountain, which would be really close to work for Laren. Are you going to try to rent your current home out, or will you have to carry the mortgage and pay rent at once? Ack!

    I think that is the best. Living apart must be so hard. Good luck with the move.
    Have a great day, my sweet friend.

    Sounds like a good plan. I wish I was near to help you just like you helped me when we moved. We left our house in Colorado too. It was scary but it sold about three weeks later; hope yours sells even faster. Good luck with the move.

    I think that's a very smart decision! The finances may be tough but when you are together it is always easier to face things like that and work them out. You go!

    How exciting that you will all be together, again. I hope you are able to find a rental quickly, and that your home will sell quickly, also.

    Now that you are going to be in Utah, there is more likely a chance that we might be able to meet up sometime. Since we visit Utah a bit more then Colorado. ;)

    Hugs & Good Luck!!

    It may be stressful to continue to sell, but I bet being together will be so much better. Good luck with it. I can't imagine doing it over the holidays. Merry Christmas!

    I know it is a stressful time, but so hope things get much better after the move and things get stable. Hope you have a lovely Christmas--visit temple square for me.

    I hope the transitions are smooth for the kids! Moving is so stressful but being apart is even more crazy. I hope you guys can sell your house soon. Come on 2009!!!
