Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

I supposed it’s time to spill the beans…

We’ve accepted a transfer and will be leaving Heber the end of this month!

It’s been a tough decision to see if this move is going to be a right fit for us, but when you get an answer, you just can’t deny it, right?

Way back in February Kyle got the first of many calls inviting him to take the open Trooper spot in Section 13. At first he turned them down, explaining how we were so happy and excited to make our life here, but it didn’t take too long before it started to feel that it was a move we needed to make. I cried for 3 days. But have since come to peace with it. Kyle, however, has been on Cloud 9 ever since the day UHP sent him the acceptance of transfer letter! Does that give you a clue as to where we are going?

Here’s another clue… I got Casen a new football helmet beanie for football season. It’s orange! Like bright, bold and exciting orange. Like Bucakroo orange. Like Monticello Buckaroo orange!

Kyle already has big dreams for Casen and the future kiddos of our Curtis clan and their upbringing in their daddy’s hometown.

Kyle has also accepted the head Jr. High wrestling coach position as well.

Kyle will also continue to fly with UHP on Search & Rescue missions, marijuana irrads, etc.  

I already feel like I need to keep reminding him that he’ll need to remember that he has a family, too!

But all jokes aside, although it is going to be so hard to leave our UHP family, our ward and my coworkers, we are really excited about this ‘probably permanent’ change.

And now the cat’s out of the bag. And now I feel much better. Something about announcing it to the blogging world makes it seem more real. And now that I’ve done it, I’m starting to feel the pressure of packing – again. I guess if I feel the same way tomorrow, ya’ll know what I’ll be doing! Feel free to call and cheer me on. Packing up all of one’s possessions is quite daunting!

And now, so as to make it more worth your time reading this post, here’s some darling eye candy!

This is the stage he’s going through right now: unloading.

Unload the dishwasher, unload the cupboards, unload the DVD shelves, unload the bathroom cupboards and unload the fridge.

This is the stage I’m going through right now: reloading.

I never knew it could be this much fun!
