Crazy Busy. Crazy Good

The crazy began a month ago . . . Derek got offered a new job in Layton, Utah at Davis Hospital and Medical Center. Although we never thought we'd end up back in Utah, westward ho we go! The job offer came just before Heidi and Tyler's wedding in Seattle. Debbie kept our kids so we could make a fast weekend trip there. The wedding, reception, food, and company were perfect. Thanks Heidi and Tyler!









While we were in Seattle, our house in Kansas sold! Yeah! We couldn't believe it--it was on the market for one day and after four showings we had an offer.
Then we were off to Utah for a few days of fast and furious house hunting. Jessica drove all they way from Indiana and stayed at our house to watch the kids. She had six kids for 5 days--we offered her our next born (no I am not making an annoucement), but she declined. After 30 houses we ended up choosing the first one we saw . . .



While we were house hunting we got to meet Michael's latest (and totally adorable) addition-Brayden. It was fun to see his kids and we are excited to see more of them.









A HUGE Thank You to my fabulous sisters (and Luke and Ronin) for keeping my kids while we went to the wedding and house hunting.
You guys are the BEST. . .thank you! thank you! thank you!





And finally, we had a great trip last weekend to see Grandpa and Grandma Walker on their mission to Houston, Texas. Garrett, Camille, and Elena did great on the 9 1/2 hour drive (yes, I did not mention Carson, because he did not do great--we're hoping the "practice" works and our move next week proves better). We visited the Children's Museum, Houston Space Center, and touched the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston. I miss my parents, but am thankful for their service and example!




That's our latest. We'll check back in when we get moved!

Congratulations on selling the house! That's awesome that it sold so fast. You guys have been busy. It looks like a lot fun. I can't believe that now that we finally made it out to see where you guys live you have moved. I guess that just means we need to start planning a trip to Utah.
