We may not have it all together but together we have it all!

We are moving!

Below is the e-mail that I sent out to our ward yesterday... it sums up what I've felt the last couple of days.

Hello all!

I know an email is very impersonal so I'm sorry, but I just don't have
the time (or the tears!!) to tell you all our happy/sad news. Ron
accepted a teaching job in Cedar City yesterday! Yes I know, we are
just a surprised as you are! I have never felt so many of the same
emotions at the same time before. I always thought about moving "home",
but NEVER thought it would happen, and this IS home for our family. He
interviewed at 10 and had accepted an offer my 11:30 and Heavenly Father
has testified to us that this is the "right" thing for our family. Not
easy, but right! We will live with my parents until we can sell this
house. We want the kids to start school down there, so that means a
quick move. We will pack and take what we can over this weekend and
then come up on weekends to clean the house and take the rest.

I want to thank you all for all that you have meant to me over the last
10 years (yes, it is 10 this week!!) Ron and I have really spent our
married lives here, brought 3 babies home from the hospital to this
house. I have "grown up" here in the sense that I was a very young
mother when I came, and have become a very young :) but wiser mother
thanks to all of you! I have learned to be a better mom, friend, wife,
sister and so much more from your examples. We are going to miss you
all terribly!

We love you all, and thanks for EVERYTHING you have done for and mean to us !!

I am so excited for your family!!! Unfortunately this is heartbreaking for all of us that know and love the Porters. Good luck and keep blogging!


Cutest kids!
