Cousins Move to Utah!!

Justin and I have often lamented the fact that, as much as we really like living in Utah, it kind of stinks that we aren't that close to family and our boys won't get to grow up with cousins close by. Well...not anymore! After months of deliberation and soul searching, Uncle Preston and Aunt Devin made the brave decision to make a major career switch. Preston wasn't happy as an attorney and, after talking A LOT with Justin and realizing that there were a great many aspects to Justin's job that are exactly what he'd like in a career, he decided to join Justin's work team! Which means they are moving to Utah!!

We tried really hard to not push them in any direction whatsoever, but now that they've made the decision I'm not sorry to say we are super duper excited! I can't wait for our boys to have cousins nearby to grow up with! (Of course, we're all a little sad for my mom and dad, Granky, and Uncle BJ, Kirsten, and cousin Logan :( but so glad they still have each other in LV).

The moving crew! We have the best family ever. Uncle Robert, Aunt Suzie, Paul, Uncle Alan, Tyler, Christie, and Ty (and cute little Claire) all came to help ♥

We were all super worried about the weather. It was supposed to snow pretty badly on Friday, but the weather stations kept moving the time of the storm back and back. The latest forecast was that it would start snowing at 7pm, exactly when we were supposed to start moving them in. Ahhh! But, our prayers must have been answered because we were able to get them all moved in with not a hint of snow. Then, as we brought the last of the items in the house, it started to flurry. Whew!

Their new house in West Bountiful.

The next night we brought them dinner. Devin's mom, Marna, and her siblings, Brandt and Davis, as well as another cousin and his two small boys were there too. It was quite the crew and a lot of fun! Also, all boys! So many boys in this family haha!

We're so glad they're finally here after so much anticipation. We hope they love it!
