Well as some of you have heard, Dave was offered a job promotion at work. We will be going back to California as soon as we can sell our Utah home. This is lots of stress because houses don't sell in one day. The problems with the economy and the fact it is a buyers market sort of? I hope our house will sell quickly, so we won't be apart for months on end.
I am a little conflicted with going back to Cali. I worry about the environment that the kids will face, if they go to public school. I also worry that they will be behind. I will also miss my sisters and my brothers(even if I hardly see one and the other thinks I won't miss him). I will miss stopping by my mom's work for a sandwich and to see her when she is doing well. I guess Dave should go do that framing at her house before we pack up the tools.
I am happy that we will be with our good friends in California and that Dave, when we get to Cali, will be home every night. No more extensive travel plans in this job. Although we will get to go to the builders meeting, and Christmas party to see all of his clients, and with four weeks vacation we can travel to Utah and Arizona to see our friends.
The next few weeks will bring a garage sale, to get rid of some of our "junk" that we don't want to pack with us, or I may just DI most of it. Mandi, I may have some Hand me downs for you?? Winter clothes we won't need in Cali? It does get cold there but not below 32 usually. Okay so hopefully I will sleep, the stress of trying to move will now be the reason for my insomnia.
I hope that those of you reading this blog know that I value your friendship and I am so happy that we came to Utah. Going back to Cali now, offers Dave greater job security, and an increase of knowledge we never would have got if we had not come to Utah. It is so interesting to think that if a few months ago I had hired a realtor that day in August when I felt I should put my house for sale, would my house be sold already??? I won't think of that. I will focus on today and tomorrow and what I can do from there.

Good luck and God bless. I know how stressful it is to need to sell a home, and wory about kids. It is very comforting to know that when you are doing what Heavenly Father wants, he will take care of you and provide.
Samantha - congratulations on the job offer! I'm glad we lived in Stansbury when you were there - I appreciated your friendship! You will probably miss many things about Utah, but there will be many great things about Cali that you will love. You will be leaving friends behind, but with blogs, it's such a great way to keep in touch. Good luck selling your house! AND, if you need to sell some things, the ads on KSL.com were GREAT for us - we sold so many things within a day of posting our items. Good luck!! We'll keep you and your family in our prayers so that you can sell your house soon!
