Others? Small happenings maybe not so recognizable at the time.
Tri-Cities was our home for the last 9 years. We made very dear friends there and felt like it was going to be our place and our future. We loved our neighbors. We were involved in our community and ward. We were happy.
Only ten days after listing our beloved home (in order to start the building process on a beautiful piece of ground we purchased over 2 years ago), Jared’s job situation changed dramatically, and he was given the option to move to Salt Lake City. Our house sold the next day.
So here we are in Farmington, Utah. We’ve been here now for about 3 weeks, and I’m doing my very best to embrace the change and navigate Davis County, Utah. Although the transition hasn’t been easy, I am grateful for the opportunity to begin a new chapter! I still feel like I’m ready to head back to our house in Washington any day now, but honestly, the people here in Farmington have been so warm and welcoming. There is a definite difference in the feel here, and it’s tangible!
AnnMarie, Carlie, and Gabe started school last week, and boy, was it bittersweet. The girls have been adjusting alright, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say they’ve had their days. I’m so proud of them and the way in which they’re trying to jump in and make life happen for them here.
Gabe had his first day of Kindergarten! What a wonderful day it was. We are so pleased with his teacher and the wonderful person she seems to be! The girls seem to have great teachers, too. We live within walking distance of the school which will be a new experience for us.

Awww...they look so grown up and adorable. I am so glad you posted these pictures. I bet Luke doesn't know what to do having you all to himself in the mornings. Moving is so hard no matter what, acclimating to all the changes not only for yourself but your family as well can be draining. I always would remind myself that I needed a little grace, too, and to be patient it always gets better. Love you guys.
I miss seeing these precious faces across the street. All three of them are growing up so quickly! I remember when your family moved in, Gabe was just learning to walk. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors. We love you all dearly!! Best. Neighbors. Ever.
