Matthew was accepted to the University of Utah as a visiting student for his last semester of Law school. Leaving Florida earlier than expected was a really hard decision for us to make. Life will be a lot harder for us living here than it was for us there. We were not able to get out of our lease so we are still paying rent in Florida until they are able to rent it out, which means we have to live with our good ol' folks until we can afford a place of our own. Matt is staying in Salt lake with his Aunt and Uncle while I am living with his mom in Logan. My mother-in-law's house has more bedrooms upstairs so it is a little more suited to our needs, than my own parents home. We left friends, a nice home, a great school, and much more to live here seperated and only able to see each other on weekends. It will be hard, but we felt it was a good opportunity for Matt and a better way to find a job in Utah.
A piece of my heart will always belong in Florida. For my official goodbye to Florida I have created my top ten list of favorite florida memories.
10- Southern Hospitality....... we found out really quick it is a real thing, and it is wonderful.
9- my cute townhouse with the best neighbors ever.
8- Florida coastal school of Law, it was a good school for Matt. and close to our home.
7- I will miss the people who drive around listening to their southern preachers, preaching about hell, fire, and damnation as loud as possible with their windows rolled down.
6- I love how people sing their soul music as loud as they want to whenever they want to. In the isle at Walmart, at the park, wherever, they don't care they just want to get their groove on.
5- I will miss having my season pass to the best Zoo ever that sells the worlds greatest snow cones.
4- I will miss the beach and the weather.
3- I will miss having so many activities to do with my boys. Storytime at the library, playgroup, exercise class, and husbandless dinners every week with ward friends.
2- I miss my ward that became like family and my calling in the primary presidency.
1- I will really miss all my great friends that I learned so much from and that changed me for the better.
This year is going to be full of change. Moving across the country, moving back in with parents, living away from my husband, looking for a job, so much uncertainty, but so much to look forward too.
My Goal for 2010 make the best of everything and just SURVIVE!!

I know. It would just simplify everything if you'd just move back. You can wait until March, though, because that's when you're up for sharing time.
But really, you'll be missed here but loved so much elsewhere.
I know you will do great on your resolution, because you are just that way!
It is nice to know that you guys will be closer though. Maybe we will actually see you sometime!
Good luck, I know that times will be tough for a while, but you can always call if you are having a rough time!
I'm really sad you guys moved. I didn't even get to say goodbye. I hope everything goes well in Utah but you'll definitely be missed here! Good luck!
Our husbandless dinners and playgroups won't be the same without you and the boys. We miss you guys already! Good luck in Utah!
Aw Mern. I am so happy for you. It will be so fun starting a new adventure and I have no doubt you will make it through. Good luck and know that you have a friend in AZ who thinks the world of you!
I feel your pain! I am so sorry. We spent most of 09 living with family. It is rough, but you have such a great attitude you'll make it! That is exciting to be in UT again! Good luck with your move and everything!
You were released on Sunday as counselor in the Primary Presidency. It made me sad. You did such an awesome job! Glad you moved across country safe and sound. You'll be so happy in Utah and things will keep getting better and easier. Miss you!
Yeah I can't imagine leaving Florida weather eaither, but I am glad your back. If there is anything you guys need let us know, and we do need to get together more often, somehow???
Not to rain on your parade, but I FREAKING excited that you are moving back here. C'mon, throw us Utahr nerds a bone! :) Just teasing. There are some super nice apartments/condo's right by my house that I would love you to move into! I will play with you all the time if you do!!!!
Wow. It is a fun adventure living away, isn't it?
When we moved to Idaho I cried going in and I cried leaving. It was hard but just a part of life. I'm so glad you were able to have that experience and it will be one you both cherish always. we are happy to have you here, and may will be here sooner then you think!!
