Update

A lot has happened in the last few months. Let me give you a brief update and more posts are soon to follow. In August The Arbinger Institute approached Mitch about joining their team. For those of you who may not be familiar with Arbinger, you should google it - it would be well worth your while. At that point in time we were warm and snug in San Diego, thinking we would be there for some time yet. Well, a whirlwind 3 months later (on Julia's birthday) we packed up and moved to Utah to join Arbinger.

We rented a house in Clinton while were looking for a home to buy. It took us a little over 2 months to find the one we wanted. It was quite the process. I think we thought if we were going to be spending that much money we had to find absolute perfection. We may have missed it by a small margin but feel that we got close to it (perfection that is - with our home).

We bought a house in South Weber right across the street from Mitch's sister Carrie and family. We looked at over 150 homes in all. We both felt very strongly - and still do - that this is the right place to raise our family right now. South Weber is a beautiful residential community tucked in the hills and mountains at the very northern most part of Davis county. The traffic is minimal because there is nothing here besides homes. We are still less than 10 minutes from shopping. The Elementary school is outstanding and just a couple blocks down the street. We feel very blessed to be part of such a safe community!

Mitch is enjoying the many opportunities he is having and creating at Arbinger and I personally feel they are lucky to have a man with such talent.

I am loving being a mom and housewife (I don't usually like that term but since I love my house now, I don't seem to mind it as much). I especially love living across the street from the Elton's (Mitch's sister and family) they are amazing people and they have been so generous and such great friends. I can't believe I lived life without them!

Yeah I am so glad you have updated. I have been wondering how you have been doing. Yeah for getting a house we will soon be on the house hunt too. Crazy!
