big big BIG news for the Altmyers!

Well.....we have some very big news! We are moving to Utah. In THREE weeks! Ahh!! We are pretty excited, but very verrrrrrry sad to leave our friends in AZ :(

I guess it all kinda started when we went to UT for our IVF. Mark has always wanted to move to Utah, and my response has always been "Um, yeah...over my dead body! I hate Utah." so it came as a shock when we were driving one day and I said "I think I could live here." From there we just started talking, seeing if realistically was could do it....and of course it came down to Mark getting a job in Utah. I thought that would be the part that proved most challenging. University of Phoenix has been good to us, really good to us....so to find another job where the income was appropriate, well, I just didn't think it would happen. We came home from Utah on a Sunday, and on Tuesday night I decided to get onto the website for a payroll company called Paychex (Mark's sister an brother in law both work for Paychex). I applied for two jobs for Mark, and first thing the next morning the recruiter contacted Mark and set up an interview. He flew through the interview process, impressing all those he interviews with, and was offered a job starting July 18th just outside of Salt Lake City.

We were very prayerful during this last month. When Mark and I got married we moved to Arizona much the same way we are moving to Utah- we just decided one day and off we went! Moving to Arizona was a defining moment in our marriage, and we have been so greatly blessed while living here. We feel that Utah is about to offer us another defining moment, and we are excited :)

So this Sunday will be our last Sunday in our ward :( the following Sunday we will be in Utah to secure a place for us to move into, and then we will have one more week in AZ to finish packing and then we will move to Utah the next Sunday.

Soooo....we're moving! That's our big news!
