Change is good...right?
There is much need for an update. We are selling our house in Provo.
We have loved it here. We love being close to the river trail and the lake. We like our house and love our yard. We are so grateful for all that brought us to this place. We considered making our house more into what we wanted. And then there was the feeling that we needed to eventually be somewhere else.
In the meantime, we put in a dump-truck full of soft beach sand in the hole where our pond used to be.
I also finally got my hair colored. The sun makes it look a lot more drastic, but it turned out nice. :)
As we determined we were going to move, I also got really motivated to finish more projects. This is a quilt I started for my parents' 25th Anniversary-- they will be celebrating their 40th anniversary this year. ;)- Thanks to a lovely quilting genius in my neighborhood, it turned out really well. :) (My sisters and I pieced it and finished the edge.)
Daniel rented some fun equipment to finish off the rest of the hole from the former pond.
We've been enjoying our yard now that the weather has (mostly) turned nice. This boy even learned how to ride his sisters' four-wheeler. :)
There are many things I will miss about being here. The mountains and places I have grown up with.
Most of all, I'll miss being around the wonderful people I have come to know and learn from. I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to letting them know sufficiently how much I appreciate them, yet I hope they at least feel it.
I know these low feelings will eventually give way to the exciting feelings of being in a new place-- building a new home-- having adventures with my fun little family. The kids have had fun playing on the building materials on a lot close to ours in Fairview.
We get to live in a trailer while our house is built, and that will be good times. I think we'll enjoy our .69 acre slice of heaven (90 feet wide, 300 & something feet long). ;)
