We've Moved!

We moved at the beginning of January to Lehi, UT. Our new address is
2754 Shady Hollow Loop
Lehi, UT 84043
So far, we are very happy. I have been so busy unpacking that I haven't had time to establish a schedule and a "normal" life but it seems like we are going to really like it here!

We moved so Chris is close to the corporate office for Vivint. He is managing another sales team this summer. It is much easier to recruit here in Utah, versus Washington. Utah is the capitol of summer sales! There are very good quality, experienced sales guys. The Vivint office is a great place to take recruits. Its really fun to visit Chris at work. There is an awesome cafeteria, free cookies for the kids, and the modern/contemporary style is something different for me and I like it! If we hadn't moved, Chris would have to continue to travel back and forth between WA and UT to recruit, and even with that he may not have been very successful with recruiting. A lot of the meetings he has are impromptu.  It just wouldn't have been as beneficial with this job for us to stay in WA, even though I dearly loved it there. 
Utah is a really fun place with LOTS of families our age, LOTs and shopping, and fun family activities. We live right ON the point of the mountain so Draper is 10 min. north in the Salt Lake Valley and Lehi/American Fork is 10 min. south in Utah county. It takes Chris 25 min to get to Work down by the Riverwoods in Provo/. I love living on Traverse Mountain. We get a little more snow (which I love) and we have a great veiw out our kitchen window. We live next to Cabelas, you'll see a picture below of a green tin roof. Thats taken from our kitchen window, as well as the picture next to it. 
We live 5 minutes from Kara and Adam, 10 minutes from our friends Tyler and McKendra, 15 minutes from Tony and Megan, 20 minutes from all our friends in our old neighborhood, 30 minutes from Jessica and Sara, and about 40 minutes from David and Kira. 

As you can see we have filled the space. There are 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car garage, and a fully fenced in back yard! The empty room is going to be an office for Chris and (maybe) craft room for me :) The other bedroom (not pictured) will remain storage or a guest room . The kids say they like their new room better but they definitely miss Washington. I dont like bringing it up though because they just need to like Utah. I tell them all the amazing things about our new house. I'm afraid to visit my parents next month because I dont want them to want to stay.

CUTE! Love the updates. When will you be home next month? I think that Lincoln and I are going to fly home either the first or second week. Hopefully we are home at the same time so we can see each other!
