The News. The DownLow. The LowDown. The What's Happening.

  Okay, I realize that this is kind of OLD NEWS but I realized the other day that it's kinda unclear what is going in our lives these days...
  A few posts back I said that we had some exciting news to share but had to wait a while longer. Well, the news was that we had decided to move back to Utah. The decision was kinda up in the air because it was a scary thing to leave our house and our Montana lifestyle. Another factor that kinda  left us hanging was that Brock had a job offer in both Montana and Utah, so there was A LOT of thinking and weighing that was going on.
  Going back a bit...Brock's job at Titan had pretty much come to a "dead end" and so we began looking into options at the beginning of 2013. Brock actually interviewed for the job he currently has in April 2013 and that was the beginning of this new adventure.
Everything happened super fast once the decision was made. We were both pretty much dragging our feet at the idea to move. We LOVE Montana and it has become our home  so it was really hard to accept that we were moving. I didn't pack a single box until four days before we moved...I was kinda hoping everything would fall through! Thankfully, we had family, friends and ward members help us and we were out in a few days.
  We were packed up and on the road on Saturday July 6th and headed back to Utah. I have never felt so sick and sad in my entire life! I pretty much cried the whole drive and the last several weeks, it's been SO hard to leave HOME.  It's funny that since we've been in Montana I've referred to Utah as MY home (it is and always will be) but I didn't realize how much Montana had become OUR home over the last 6 years. So much of who we are as individuals and as a family is the lifestyle we created in Bozeman. It's going to be quite an adjustment to be back in Utah but I'm sure it will be great.
Currently, Brock is working for Mountain America Credit Union and he's enjoying a more laid back work environment. We were planning to try to rent or buy something here but we still have our home in Bozeman and we're hesitant to do much with house while still owning a home in Montana. So we are living with my parents in SOJO. We've both have had to swallow our pride because we said we'd NEVER live with the parentals....never say NEVER! Originally we were only going to be here until we found a place but I think we'll stay at my parent's place until our Lease on our Bozeman home is up. So we're going to be in the basement for about a year, which is weird but it will be nice to save some cash for a home! It's pretty weird to be back in my childhood neighborhood...fun and creepy.
Life is really weird right now. Everything feels weird, backwards, and really sad. I'm having a super hard time being away from my house, Montana, friends, and my life. I'm not sure if this Utah thing is going to work out for me?....
  There are some perks...the important kind...it's great to see family. It's fun to have Blakely interact with her cousins, Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents and get to know them better. We've been able to do some really fun things with family so far and I imagine it will continue to be ultra fun with the holidays coming up. I am also enjoying some of the other perks to Utah and I'm looking forward to all the events I've missed out on for years and years.
  So, in a long explanation....that's where we're at and that's what's going on with us! Wish us luck on our new adventure!
