So last Friday I got pretty much THE WORST NEWS EVER. My parents, my dear, sweet, parents are LEAVING me and moving back up to Salt Lake! ARGH!! We were all in complete shock. I grew up in South Jordan, as most of you know, but my parents have lived down here since 2002. I lived with them for a couple of summers inbetween semesters at college, then moved down here in 2005 and lived with them for a year before I got married. And it has been nothing short of blissful living in Cedar City with them. I love having Sunday dinners over there. I love having the world's best babysitters at my beck and call. I love knowing they are just 5 minutes away if I ever need to talk or just want to stop by to hang out. I love that all of my other siblings have to come to Cedar to visit them. Pretty sure none of them are going to bother coming down here anymore. I love that my parents will drop anything that they are doing if you need help, or let you use anything that they own, no matter how fragile, expensive or rare without a second thought. I just love knowing that they are there. It is such a comfort to me. We are so lucky to have a ton of Mark's family living around us also, but there's nothing in the world like living close to your own Mommy and Daddy. I can't imagine this town, or my life here without them in it. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO??
At least me and Ryan still have eachother. Ry-Ry, please don't leave me!!

You know you're totally worth the drive!!! Our emotions about their move are complete opposites- I am 100% thrilled for me, but so, so sad for you. :( Sorry, Bel. You win some, you lose some, right?
Keep up the blogging- and make sure to put a picture of Nash in every post. Love you.
What the...did you really post? Oh my maybe the sun will really shine this spring! I miss you guys a ton, but as always you are looking fabulous!
This is hard because it's good news for some and hard news for others! It's hard not to be close by your mom when you have a little one at home! You know she'd drop everything and drive down there if you need her though! She does that now with the other kids but the opposite direction. Still hard! Sorry!
What Kelly? Is that really you commenting on my blog? I had no idea you had a blog and to just hear from you is somethin else. because I never even know how to find you. It was so fun to see some pictures of you and your family. The last I saw or heard anything from you was at that shower last summer so it was totally fun to see Nash and hear how things are going. Sad about your parents though, I promise there is nothing better than living close to a mom. I think that is the hardest thing for me since we moved down here. Anyways you look great, I'm thrilled to know where to see pictures and hear what the heck you are up to, cause most the time nobody knows where you are or what's going on with you. I love ya Kell!
Kelly I love how you are posting on your blog, keep it up, but I'm sad for you, I am very sorry. I know what it is like to not have your parents around but now I have a friend to drive up North with, let me know when you want to go I would love to drive up there with you
Kelly I'm so sorry about your parents moving! I would have to say I'd just die if mine moved. I keep thinking I want to move on the first trip out but when my mom was in China for 2 weeks I thought I wasn't going to survive. If and hopefully we do move, they'll come with us!! You can call me to watch Nash, what's one more kid?? I do it all the time and you know Kinlee would smoother him to death! Call me to watch the Nasher, keep posting!!
I am having a really hard time thinking of leaving you, Mark, Nash & Ryan. The reassuring comfort is that the housing market is so crappy that we probably won't be able to sell our house for ten years. It's especially hard now that you have your cute little Nash. He is so much fun to be with. Just think, you can drive up North in just a couple of hours. We'll park the boys in front of a ballgame and off we'll go to IKEA, Tai Pan, etc. etc. I love you so much!
UMMMM, how long have you had this blog??? HOW THE H ARE YOU!! So good to hear from you and I am thrilled we can keep in touch.
Hi Kel!
I am in shock as well! First of all I am in TOTAL shock that you are actually doing the "Blog Thang"
YEAHHH! I have been waiting so long that I finally gave up on checking your blog out. Just didn't think it would happen. I figured you were just having way to much fun with your cute little baby that you didn't have time for it. I am THRILLED that I can now see pictures of Nash! What a doll! He is growing up way too fast.
As for your mom and dad moving.... My first response when I heard the news was a GIANT scream of excitement. I was instantly thinking of all of the fun I have missed without my best friend nearby. She is coming HOME!!
Within a minute of my original reaction I became very sad for her. I thought of how much Siri loves Cedar, her home and especially living so close to you and Mark. I know how torn she is about leaving. She adores you and your family and it will be tough to be so far from Nash. Very, Very sad news. Things will work out for the best. You know your mom, she'll be there for you at a moments notice. You are very blessed to have such wonderful parents.
Love you guys
Tanya
Well duh...you move back home!
