We're going through changes....

Well, things have been pretty interesting to say the least for the last couple of months. I have really sat back and reflected on life and what I have done and what I really wanted. There have been many trials, tribulations and stupid decisions made LOL What I need is a clean slate. Somewhere that I can go and start all over. For myself and my family. It is time to leave Cedar City, but this time, we are even going to leave the state. The kids and I will be packing up and moving to Oklahoma in October after the first quarter of school.
Some of you know that my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and is now in remission thanks to many prayers and the power of our Heavenly Father. She recently had to undergo back surgery and could really use some help. She really misses us and would like to have her grandbabies so close again and honestly, my little girl would be much better off being around Nana and Papa again!
Scott will hopefully be able to join us as soon as he is released and as long as the Interstate Compact goes through, he will complete his three years probation there. He has a much better chance of succeeding away from this place and the people who he has interacted with in the past...people, places, things...it will be a clean start for the both of us. And hopefully, we can pick up where we left off in improving our relationship and hopefully still have the goal of going to the Temple. As of right now, that is more Scott's goal and what he wants. Don't get me wrong, I want it too, but lets just say that his faith is in a better place than mine right now...I am still working on it.
I am also going to be starting school again this month. I will be working torwards my BS degree in graphic arts with an emphasis is print media design. I am very excited!
There is so much change coming and I don't really know what to expect but I do feel that I am making the best decision for right now. Hopefully it will all work out ok!

Good luck. I hope that everything works out for you guys. I really believe that a new start can make all the difference. I'm sad that you will be so far away, but I know it will be best for you.

Wow Oklahoma huh. I wish you all the best of luck. Please tell your mom I say Hi and I hope everything is going well for her as well. Keep us posted on everything and how you like Oklahoma.

Lately that's how I have been feeling. There are so many things that I would like to go back and change and obviously can't. We too have decided that leaving the state and going somewhere new will be the best thing for our family. I hope that things work out for you. I'm sure your mom is so excited for you to come. You will be such a great help to her. Good luck with this new adventure!
