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.

I think you are making the best decision possible for your family! I know you will be missed by many and most of us feel like we are going to miss out, but that to me is selfish. Ali needs to spend time with her daddy and you with your husband. This is the same decision we would all make if we were in the same situation. I'm so proud of you! <3
