big news.

This wasn't the original big surprise, but now you'll know why I've been absent from blogging!

I don't often post personal things on this blog, but since we're leaving the state, I thought people might like to know :) Comcast has offered my husband a position in Indianapolis, so he is leaving on Thursday...yes Thursday of this week. It all went very quickly, and we only just found an apartment last week. I will stick around for another two months to continue working, finish up photoshoots, and say goodbye. Along with my husband, our entire apartment is being packed and moved this week. I'll be moving in with a friend (more on that later) who has graciously agreed to put me up for a bit.

Although I'm really excited to move closer to family and to be back in the midwest, I will actually miss some pieces of Utah, such as...
  1. Farmer's Market (although we did find one in Indy already)
  2. The view of the mountains (is being traded in for lots and lots of trees)
  3. Our sweet 'landlords' (friends) who have kindly rented their basement, and their yard to us for the last 2 years
  4. All the fun families/babies/couples I've photographed and gotten to know
  5. Temple square
  6. Access to family history libraries
  7. Working in the office with my team (I will work from home)
  8. Evening walks around our cute neighborhood
  9. Our close knit church community
  10. And most of all, our wonderful friends. We feel like we just didn't have enough time!
I'm grateful I have 2 more months to drink these things in before I move to Indianapolis.

We are excited to be closer to family, nearer to some friends we haven't seen in a while, and to be in a place that has thunderstorms again.

The Midwest just got a ton brighter with the addition of you two. I miss you, but I am excited for the good changes we both are experiencing. Keep smelling the roses :)
This is Rachael, by the way

Congratulations! I'm glad everything ended up working out! Also glad you'll be around for a couple more months. I need to call you this week to decide on which pics to get touched up before I have them printed. Congrats again! :)
