I know you have all probably heard our news. Joseph starts his new job in Northern California on May 18th. I am so proud of what he has accomplished. He basically skipped two positions for this promotion and most people with his experience are not extended this offer. I know his parents are smiling down from heaven with pure pride. I thank my lucky stars for having him in my life.
Selfish me....I'm thinking about my career, my friends at my job, my family, our boat, no hot summers, our beautiful yard, my neighbors, my comfortable home, my gym buddies, my snowboarding nixed, my daughters having to get new swim coaches, piano teachers, new gymnastic coaches, new schools, new friends etc etc etc.
Me, me, me. This is incomprehensible to me. Check back with me soon. Hopefully, I will have a better attitude.

Wow!! Congrats to joseph. I can't believe you are moving to California. It may seem strange for me to say this considering I really only know you now through a digital friendship. But I know that if there is one person that will be able to start new and make a new life in a new place and do it gracefully it would be you! you have just an amazing personality and people will just be drawn to you and your family!!
Good luck in your new adventure!!
First I will say congrats to Joe. What an accomplishment an And to you I will say I'm sorry I very much usderstand how you must be feeling. We are worried that Jon's job will want him in Denver, and we don't know what we would do. Now for the pep talk. What an adventure I would love to move out of Utah. And northern CA is beautiful. What city will you move to? You will have plenty of chances to visit and snow board and do all your fun things. And you are great at making new friends. You just knock on their door and ask if there are any 30ish year old girls that want to be your friend. Hey it work when you were 3. You have every right to sad for the adjustments that you have to make. and you are not being selfish your are worried about your girls too. In the end it will make all of you a stronger family and each of you stornger individuals. I'll come visit!
Congrats Joe on the new job, but I am sad to see you guys go:( You are not being selfish, you are worried about your girls and the adjustment it is going to be. You are such a sweet, fun person you will do just fine finding new gym buddies etc... This will be such a neat experience for you and your family! Please let me know if you need help with anything!
What an exciting change!! I am very sad to see you guys go though! Let me know if I can help you with anything!!!
That is sad for all of us... because you'll be leaving us, but it will be sooo stinkin fun in Northern California! We absolutely LOVED N.CA and I know you will too! At least over time! What part of northern california!??
Who knows, we may even see you there in N.CA one day - it's on our list of possibilites over the next year!! :) Congrats on the promotion- that's not coming easily to a lot of people these days!
You guys are your positive attitudes! I want a PITY PARTY!!! :)
Sorry, no positive attitude here, your gonna HATE it, and I hope you come running back!! :) I love you and will miss you so much, I hope we see eachother as much as we plan to, it just never seems to work out that way. Life just gets too crazy! But we love you all so much and will miss you more than you know. BFF&ever!!
I can honestly say, I know exactly how you are feeling. Give me a call, we can have a pity party together.
Holy smokes, Rachel! I had just barely heard this news, and I think I may hold my own pity party! ;) Seriously, you aren't being selfish, Rachel! It's your crappy job to worry. :) And honestly, shy and quiet little me looks at spunky, gifted, energetic, and amazing you and knows you won't have any trouble finding those gym buddies and awesome coaches, etc. :) I'm just jealous of all the Northern California people who are stealing you!
Wow, I heard the news yesterday. It all sounds very exciting to me. Sorry - no pity party from me-We got to live out of state for a while and I LOVED it!!!!! I bet you will too!!!
Congrats Joe!
Rachel, I can see how you feel. I would probably feel the same way. Change is hard for me. I'm sure you will end up loving it!! I wish you guys the very best!
Rachel,
That is so cool! Yes, we will all be sad when you leave. But upward and onward to a new adventure for you and your family. Sooo exciting. Plus we all know that you will back for Ute football at least once. Unless you totally convert to USC or something. Also you can just swap one board for another and take up surfing.
Love you guys,
Karrie :)
OK, first, congrats to Joe! He is such a great guy and totally deserves it.
Second, it's my turn to be selfish. I am LIVID you didn't even MENTION this on Sunday!! Seriously, Rach, I thought we were closer than that. Sniff...I'm actually so bummed you're leaving! We'll have to have a bon voyage bbq for you, k?
No way! I didn't know you were moving! That will be such a big change, but for the best right? Good luck! Change is good :)
What the???? I am gone for a week and you are moving????
K, so I am so happy for Joe.... sometimes.... And I am reading your post thinking, "Which catagory do I fit into... let's see....
and I quote:
"I'm thinking about my career" -Nope not me
"my friends at my job"-Nope not me
"my family"- Nope not me, well, maybe?
"Our boat"- Nope not me, what are you doing with the boat?
"no hot summers"-but nice winters
"our beautiful yard"- yeah, that is true
"my neighbors"- Not me for almost a year. Can you believe that?
"my comfortable home"-I am sure you new one will be nice
"my gym buddies"-Nope, not me
"my snowboarding nixed"- Do you really do it that often. And you will visit.
"my daughters having to get new swim coaches"- not me at all
"piano teachers"-Not good enough for that
"new gymnastic coaches"-not me either
So I was thinking you didn't think this post all the way through.... come on? Where is my shout out? I am the one who cried the most!
Just kidding. I really just had to give you a hard time. I am going to miss you!
Sorry I haven't been blogging or checking blogs. I am excited for your move. I hope you are getting more excited about it.
Congrats to Joseph for the new job.
Well I guess I'm the selfish one because I am SUPER EXCITED to have my brother and my favorite sister in law and the cutest neices ever a little closer to me!!!!
