Going home to the Desert


Well...... I can't believe it is really happening! If you asked me even 3 weeks ago if I ever thought I would ever being moving back to Arizona I could have told you positively NO. But Jeff continues to surprise me. We had our friend Marshal over for the weekend and while we were sitting outside talking he mentioned Jeff was seriously thinking about moving... "Huh" wow news to me! And Jeff joins us on the patio and continues the conversation... I still thinking in my head, "No way, I think its just a thought and in a couple weeks he'll forget about it". This was my first thought because Jeff has mentioned this before, I remember back in January of this year after a special assembly day that he was wanting to move if we could. We need some serious changes in our lives right now. The last year and a half or so has not been the greatest. We've come through many hardships together but for some reason the world has been mercilessly coming down onto us and we can't get ourselves out from under it. It's always been in the back of our mind to move to Arizona. The life is simple, the stress is slim, cost of living is cheap and we can start fresh. It all sounded so good yet we we're both so hesitant to actually be the one to say "YES, we are moving". So about 2 weekends ago Jeff and I sat down and had a serious, tearful and emotional talk....and our decision made. We will be moving to Arizona the week of December 22nd. It will allow our family an opportunity to come help us as it is the Christmas/New year holiday and everyone has some time off. So....For those here in California, I hope we can get together soon. And as for those in Arizona, I look forward to seeing you again. I love being here in California but we need a change and I think we will find a lot of joy and happiness in Arizona, Back Home.
