Au Revoir

I was updating Kate's mission blog. I somehow got really behind. It was so easy to keep up with the weekly letters. Then I let it slip somewhere in October and playing catch up is the worst. Moral of the story, don't get behind.

I don't feel any pressure to keep up with this blog, it is another journaling method. But it was fun to look back at a few posts and felt like adding another entry.

We moved. We left my beloved Phoenix. "My" beloved, not "our" beloved. Garrett does not share my same sentiment about the state as I do. It's not just the geographical location, so much as the people and it was home. Au Revoir friends, Papago Park, no daylight savings, warm winters, warm all the time, Boulder Creek Apartments, book group, Camelview, Saguaro library, Frys grocery store, splash pads, swimming pools, "quick" drives to California...Au Revoir.

Bonjour snow.

We have been in Salt Lake about a month now. I told Garrett last week that I feel settled. We are moved in (it was a feat for me with two little children). I have found places to shop, a park, and the library. There is always a thrill in discovering new places, and joy in being near family and friends. Garrett throughly enjoys his job. Which is priceless to me. As a bonus we are very close to U of U campus where he works. No commute is also a win.

Au Revoir 2015.
