Chris is opening a new office in Richland for Five Diamond. He brought up the idea 2 weeks ago, last week we went looking for a house to rent. We found our perfect neighborhood. Young couples, lots of young kids, all going to church together. But we couldn't find a house, only a townhome. The only thing I dont like about a townhome is the three levels, which we have right now. My kids follow me everywhere and make me carry them up and down the stairs half the time. Also, we really want a yard. So thank goodness things worked out perfectly and we should be able to move into Chris' parents house that is being rented. The house's backyard fence is the wall to the Columbia River Temple! It has big windows looking right at the temple and the beautiful grounds. Its gonna be great. And we will be in the same ward as my dear sweat Grandma B. Also, my mom parents live 5 minutes away. My family (immediate and extended) is about 25 min. and Chris' sister Melissa (the only family he has there now) is 50 minutes away.
Its our dream come true. I just wasn't prepared mentally for the big change so all of the sudden. I've always had a hard time with change. In high school I would cry when a sports season ended, when we graduated I bawled (and everyone else was looking at me thinking "whats your problem"), boyfriend breakups... wow, not good. When my mom drove away and left me at BYU-I with the funnest roomates, I just had to cry. Two days after I had Addysin, I was bawling because she wasn't in my stomach anymore (which by the way, I HATE being pregnant). When I was in college I would go home about every two months and its is quite the drive. I was always homesick. Get the picture? Even when its a good change, I just cant handle it. I guess I get attached to everything.
We are moving to:
A lot of family, beautiful country, beautiful rivers, "home" as we call it, a 24/7 veiw of the temple we were married in, a lot of free babysitters, free fun (my parents have every "fun thing" you can think of), animals, tractors, and lots of space for the kids to run free.
Want to see more? Watch THIS. Its beautiful.
Have I started packing. No.
P.S. Do you have any cardboard boxes we can have?

Soo sad I can't believe you are actually going!!! That is crazy but that will be great to have your family soo close and friends as well. Let me know if you need some help packing and getting ready I will be done with taxes after Thursday.
I'm getting really sad. I'm really going to miss you! Collin's parents just moved and they have a TON of boxes. I'll ask them if you guys can have them and let you know. Let me know if you need help packing. I'm just in Mapleton until we leave but I can come up any time you need help.
That is so exciting! I hate moving though, it is quite the chore, especially that far of a distance. Good luck!
Wow, I had no idea you were even thinking about moving to Washington. We may have some boxes, I'll bring them down sometime.
YOU ARE SOOO LUCKY! But I know exactly how you feel about change. It freaks me out!
I am so excited for you guys, although it will not be fun to be the ONLY ones left here by ourselves!! I am a bit jealous. But I am the same as you. I have adapted to Utah and love it. Just like you said. The conveniences are great!! Good luck with the move. I am just waiting for you to call and let me watch your kids for a couple of days!
Sad.... Is this forever? or just for the summer? I know you are busy packing, but I wnat to come see you this week or next before you go.
Thats so exiting:) WE had some boxes that you could of had but... we threw them away and you are little far to take them to you. lol It will be wonderful to be back in the tri-cities. I always thought that I would get Colby to move to CO but I like it here and I like that it's not as busy. It will be fun to have you close by maybe I can get to know you guys better:)
I am very excited to have you guys close! Let me know when you move in and I can watch your kids for you or something while you get unpacked. It will be fun to get our kids together... I think our girls will have a LOT in common!
Andrea so sad you're going to move! :( Text me if you still need boxes - Rob can get lots from his warehouse! And we need to hang out again before you go!
Andrea! This is amazing! So so so beautiful. I'm happy for you guys. You belong there. I know exactly how you feel about Utah..I still ache for it. Something about it that is unlike anywhere else. And I never NEVER thought I'd feel that way. So, I get it. But, raising your family out in the country near extended family..sounds absolutely dreamy. Good luck with the move.
