Change of major plans

So remember my last post?!... Well, we're not going to Alabama anymore. We got the call this past Friday from our top school that Preston got put on the "Alternate" list for and they called us... drum roll please..... PHOENIX ARIZONA HERE WE COME. This is for reals. I've got our apartment lined up, financial aide stuff is in the process, boxes are flowing out of our apartment, our place is a disaster as I'm trying to pull everything out of ever nook and cranny. We're moving in 3 weeks. AHH! We're so excited as we were hoping for this school. It's 3 years instead of the 4, it's MUCH closer to home, a great school but wow... I don't think we're ready for the average of 120 degrees during the summers.

It worked out just in time as we got the call Friday and I was going to send out our deposit for Alabama the following Monday. We went to the temple, prayed and fasted all weekend and know that is where we are supposed to go! We'll always be excited to have visitors.. hint hint!

Back to packing.

It is official!!

See this cool place?! This is Birmingham Alabama... our new home for the next 4 years starting first of August! Preston got accepted into this school...

Samford University.

We will be living in a cute little town of Homewood AL. It's just like Murray to Salt Lake City. It's a very pretty town, safe, beautiful, nice people, gorgeous landscaping. We're excited. Nervous as ever but so excited for this experience to get out of our little Utah bubble. We'll miss our family and friends and ward SO much but we'll be back! We'll have an extra bedroom so we'll always be up for visitors and it's only 2 days away!

Another cool thing. We'll be close to here

The sunny beaches of Florida and of course...
Disneyworld!!!

We'll have this beautiful temple to attend...
We'll probably become a big fan of...
Eat a lot of...
Which means I'll have to make sure I keep up on
Preston will soon be one of these
Which will get us closer to having
(kiddies)
And owning one of these...
And coming back to
We're sure going to miss those mountains!

Oh, and regular words in our conversations will probably consist of... ya'll, sweetie, hun, baby and yee haw!!!

Yup, we're excited! Wish us luck. My husband is a smarty pants and I know he'll do amazing! I'm so proud of him and love him so much!

Thanks ya'll!
