Our latest adventure....

Someone asked if we move every time we have a new baby...just the last two times. We recently relocated from Alaska to Utah. Johnny got a job as the registrar at SUU in Cedar City. He thought the job looked good. The money was good, the lure of sunshine and family even better!!!! So off we went just two weeks after the birth of our sixth child, Addison. As with our Alaskan adventure, we didn't know what we were getting into. We have been unable to sell our home. While the money at this new job would be good with a Cedar City mortgage, it's not so great with an Alaskan mortgage. Homes in Alaska are roughly twice as much. Add to that, we are also having to rent a home here in Cedar City...ouch. Thanks to help from Mom and Dad Allred we are making it for now. We keep praying for our home to sell and may need to look at renting the Alaska home in the near future.

But....we are together!!!! When we first moved we were seperated. Johnny was staying at his Uncle's place (thanks Uncle Kent) and the children and I were staying with Mom and Dad Allred. We were there for about six weeks. I'm not sure how Mom Allred felt about our stay but I enjoyed everything except being seperated from Johnny. The kids weren't too thrilled when Daddy would leave either. So when Johnny needed to find a new place to stay, we decided to find somewhere we would all fit...

That brings us to where we are now. In a cute little twin home in Cedar City. Things are tight, but I always know what my kids are up to!!! We are still spending a lot of time going back and forth from the storage unit trying to find the things that we need on a day to day basis. The kids are enrolled in school, East Elementary, which just so happens to be the same school Mom Allred attended. We have a lot of family history here and that is kinda fun.

For whatever reason I LOVE Cedar City! Maybe it's the mountain views out every window. Or the sunshine, or the ability to see family from time to time, or just the cute nutcrackers lining main street. We are excited to be here and who knows we may just stay put for a while!!!
