It's been an extremely busy, hectic, and roller-coaster month! This morning my dad had emergency brain surgery. He had an anurism...the Dr. said he's lucky to be alive & that it was caught right in time. The surgery was about 3 hours, and so far he's doing great. Now we just have to wait & see how he progresses. Hopefully there won't be any complications. We're going to visit him in about an hour to see if he's coming out of the anesthesia.
We moved up here on Valentines Day weekend because the weather was suppose to be clear for our big move. But of course it was really cold & snowing on us! What a welcome back to Utah:) I've moved a lot in the past 13 years, so I thought it would be a pretty easy move, but it was a TON of work!!!! It's taken us a couple of weeks to get settled, but we've made good progress. (By the way, my mom is looking for a job if anyone knows of a bookkeeping job nearby:) We love our neighbors, they have all been so kind & helpful. It definitely helps with being homesick...we miss all of our friends & family in Arizona so much!!! But we think we'll really love it here, too!Although my kids are having a little bit of a rough time. They won't admit it, but from the day we moved here, Shaylee all of a sudden has imaginary friends. And Caleb has been acting out a bit. It's a huge adjustment, & I know they'll be fine, it's just been a really hard few weeks. Oh, & to top it all off, the transmission in our truck had to be replaced! It's only 5 years old, and we missed the warranty by 4 months!!!! I guess it can only go up from here?!? Let's hope the next month will be better:)

Wow - you have had a rough few weeks. I hope you got good news at the hospital - keep me posted.
About moving - we only moved across town this last time and it still about killed us. I think that moving is just easier when you're younger. And you would think that moving when your kids are that young wouldn't be such a big deal, but it is. I hope things calm down for you!
I hope things are on the up and up. Keep us posted on your Dad. He will be in my prayers. Take care.
I am so glad you guys are so close! It was so good to see you all the other day! Hope things continue to go well with your dad, keep me posted. We for sure need to get together when things settle down a bit! Let me know if you guys need anything!
Wow, so scary. I hope your dad recovers well and is feeling ok.
I know you were thinking about moving but didn't realize you did. Where are you at? Maybe I can actually see you someday now. :-)
Hey Jessica sounds like you need a little down time- what made you guys decide to move? It is always a major deal to pack up a house and move so I hope you get everything unpacked and can relax soon! I would love to take your pictures so whenever you are back in AZ or for some reason I come to Utah its a date!!! Take care of yourself and I hope your dad makes a full recovery.
Jessica,
It's been so long!
I'm sorry to hear about your dad and hope he has a speedy recovery.
I came across your blog from the DHS blog link and thought I'd see what you were up to. So you are in American Fork now? We just moved to AF in August after being in Oregon for about 8 years. The kids love it, but I still miss Oregon. I'm sure you'll all adjust quickly other than maybe the crazy weather.
You have an adorable family!
