I have to admit I am being a slight Grinch this year. Not that I have not been blessed, in that it is the complete opposite. Corey gets a better job, with better pay. I get a house and get to make it my own. What in the world do I have to complain about? And I am not really complaining, just sad. Maybe a little disconnected at this point. Thank goodness for my Mother who calls and keeps me on the upside of things. My Mom's quirky sense of humor would make anyone feel better.
This year we are moving to Wyoming and we will be in a hotel for at least a month. I keep trying to think of the good, like no cleaning for a month and a cooked breakfast every morning. But then I think of the isolation and the cold. I think of not even having a tree for Christmas and I get a little bummed. I look forward to Christmas just as much as the kids do. Don't feel too bad for us, we are going to attempt to drive to Corey's Grandmom who lives up in Bear Lake. So hopefully the unforgiving Wyoming winter will allow us that opportunity. If not, I might have to find a mini tree somewhere to put up in the room.
I will also be leaving some incredible friends here. Who would have thought at 30 I would make friends that have made such an impact on me. Christy and Jenn, my gal pals in crime. I see these girls at least twice a week. Lunch and shopping have never been so fun for me. I can rely on these two girls like no one else. I will miss having someone who I can call up at anytime for anything. Then there is my running group of Will and Hector. What can I say, when you run for hours a day with the same people you get to know them really well. Both of these guys are great Priesthood holders and have taught me so much with their quiet examples. Not many people can love you when you are having stomach issues and body fluids are everywhere. But these guys have stuck with me no matter what. I honestly feel so blessed to have known these people. I will miss them dearly.
But onward to great adventure and I am sure many more friends. I will again try to take more pictures. Maybe one day I will afford a nice camera that I will want to take more pictures with. This should be a momentous adventure so I will try to document it.

It is a hard time of year to move. We did that when we moved here and the holidays do get swept under the rug a little bit. Also, it stinks to leave friends, or have them leave you. I think it is okay to be sad when things change, even when they change for the better, because it is hard to say goodbye to a phase of your life. Hang in there and in no time I am sure Wyoming will feel like home.
Remember, some friend will be lifetime friends no matter where you live. I am sure it will be that way with Christy and Jenn. Remember Joe Dirt "Ome is ware ou ake it." I love you Kory and call anytime!!
ps - keep repeating "no toilets to clean, no sheets to change"
