Number of moves since marriage = 7
1. To PineView Apartments in Rexburg, ID.
2. To Taylor Apartments in Provo, UT.
3. To Phoenix, AZ for Johnny's internship.
4. Back to Provo to Stadium Gardens.
5. To Laveen, AZ to start careers and life post college.
6. Move to a safer neighborhood in Avondale, AZ [no more helicopters w/ search lights, yeah!].
7. To Lehi, UT to start John's new job at Omniture.
YES! We are moving again. No, we are not a military family. No, we don't LOVE packing boxes. On October 26th, we made the decision to move back to happy valley in Utah County. John just started to enjoy new challenges at his job at Deloitte when a colleague from BYU's Accounting Program sparked John's interest in a public company in Orem, UT. Omniture does web analytics and business website optimization (www.omniture.com for more information). A fly out, an offer, and some prayers later, we decided to move our family.
Dana will be able to transfer with Lifetime Fitness from Palm Valley to South Jordan and continue her favorite hobby besides being a mom -- teaching group fitness. She was not too excited for the move as she has a lot of friends, but she knew that it would be good for the family. Hailee still doesn't quite understand that we will no longer live in AZ, and the cold will be tough for her as she complains now that she is cold here at 76 degrees.
We have the rest of the week, until Friday to be exact, to pack up before Rick and Bobbi help us move north. The only other big news that we have this week is to find out the sex of the little soccer player in Dana's belly. He/she is quite active at night keeping mom running to the bathroom as soon as she gets a teaspoon of fluid in her bladder. We both hope for a boy and have a feeling it is, but as we get closer we are thinking more and more that it is a girl -- we'll see.
Well, that's about it for us! We will now be using this blog instead of the cumbersome babyhomepages.net website for Hailee's pictures and stories, so keep connected! See you in Utah!

Dana, I am so glad I will be able to keep track of whats going on with you on your blog now. We are going to miss you SOOO much!!! I never heard when you would be out this way, and you are prob too busy packing now, but if you ARE coming out this way, let me know. We would definately love to say goodbye. Or if you need any help or a babysitter for Hailee let me know!
We live in Lehi too! Maybe we'll see you in the neighborhood when you get here!
