And so it goes.

I think many of you know, but there may be some who still do not. We are selling our house. We are starting slow and on our own for right now. It's just up on KSL and no For Sale sign out front. We are currently just seeing what it's like out there in the jungle. If nothing much happens we'll take a step farther and put it up with Media One, which gets us on MLS and gives us a sign in our yard.

It feels somewhat surreal. We have worked so hard this last month since deciding to go for it. I have never been so consistently tired and crazy as I ripped my house apart and slowly put it back together. I think it looks great and now the key is keeping it that way. That's possible with 5 kids and 3 pets, right? I love my house and really want the right family to find it. So, if you know that family let them know that their house is ready.

Our plan right now is to build in the Pleasant Grove area. I remember saying that I would never build again or if I did we would finish everything before we moved in. Well, that's not the plan now. We will move in with an unfinished basement and an unfinished yard. We are hoping this will be our last move and so I'm not feeling a tremendous amount of pressure to get it all done up front.

And so it goes...we'll see what happens.

Well, good luck, but I secretly hope you are stuck here forever. Because we would miss you way too much. Your house looks great on KSL!

Your house looks amazing! My browser won't let me comment on myfamily - grrr. So do you already have a lot picked out?

I was talking with our stake pres recently (we sat at the same table during dinner at youth conf) and we were talking about our job/move debate and his advice was make a decision and never look back. I liked it. Now if I could only get Jared to make that decision!! He changes his mind about his work plans daily. But it sounds like you made a decision and went for it. I'm sure it will all turn out just right.

Sad and exciting at the same time. It's sad to see the "originals" move away, but exciting to see families move on and grow. Good luck!!
