At the beginning of April we made the decision as a family to move to Utah. Kevin and I searched the internet for a home to rent in American Fork and Pleasant Grove, and ended up putting money down on one in P.G. This was a Thursday. On Friday, Kevin came home for the weekend, and as we got talking about the move we both expressed our uneasy feelings about making Tanner move before his senior year. After we talked for a while we came to the conclusion that we needed to stay in Arizona for one more year to let Tanner graduate.
In the meantime, we had already rented out our house to a nice family (Todd and Kara Bowman) and didn't feel like we could go back on our word. We started searching for a rental home here in Mesa immediately. With the help of my sweet friend, Jodi, we were able to find a home less than a half mile from our own home and signed a lease for 12 months.
Moving out of a 3100 sq. foot home into a 1900 sq, foot home is a challenge, to say the least! I sold a ton of stuff, and donated even more. And, I still have way too much stuff. It's lining the walls of my garage from floor to ceiling . All in all, I like this smaller house! Way easier to clean...but it will be nice to be together as a family in a year!
