Everyone seams to be worried.

I had a very long conversation with Vern today. We plan on getting a few bills paid off this May. Starting in June we will be applying for a home loan. We have decided to buy Casey's boss' house. Its a three bed two bath double wide mobile home. She is selling it for $115,000. If things go well and we get the ball rolling on the loan and closing Ali and I will be leaving Salt Lake around the first week of July. So all of you that are upset and angry that we are leaving you have about 2 months to get all your "spending time" in with Ali.

I want everyone to know that Vern and I took awhile to come up with this decision. Its in our family's best interest to be together where ever it may be. As of now that is in North Dakota. Its a 14 1/2 hr drive. Approximately 996 miles. Or its a $500 round trip flight. (Gas is about $490 round trip)

The up side to this is that Its going to be cheaper and easier for Ali and I to come visit everyone in Salt Lake rather then Vern take time off and come visit us. So please don't worry about never seeing Ali again or forgetting who you all are. We wont be gone long. 3-4 years is all.

I do plan on making a photo album for Alexis so that she can see every ones faces and know who they are. We also have Skype and its only $18 for a web cam at Walmart and Skype is free.

I love you all.

The Beggining of our new transtion

As you all may know Vern has been up in North Dakota for four months and is doing great. However, the 1000 miles between us is more then we can bare. In these next few weeks I will be getting rid of almost all of our possessions. Only keeping the important stuff... pots, pans, plates, the bed and Alexis' stuff. As of right now we are officially house hunting in North Dakota. In order to get Alexis and myself up there with Vern, we have to buy a house. There is absolutely no available rentals. Which is fine by me. I'd rather live in my own house. Think its about time anyway. When we move we need to take as little as possible. The smaller the Uhaul the better. Like I said before it is a 1000 mile drive.

During these next few years I want to keep a blog. Keep everyone updated on our progress to a better life for our children. Let everyone know how Vern does in work and how I cope with out my Friends and Family. Its going to be tuff but the important thing is that we'll be together. No matter where we go in life, as long as we have each other nothing can stop us! We hope for all your love and support in these next few years.
