Things have been really busy here at our place. The house is turned upside down and inside out and we all, pets included, are feeling the stress of living in chaos. I’ve knit a ton of socks simply to deal with the stress (wink, wink). Why are things so crazy here? We’re moving! And I don’t just mean a little move from one side of town to the other. Oh no, we’re doing one of those really big moves where you put everything you own in a big truck and drive through several states to get to a new home. Sigh. I thought we were done with those moves. Ah well. At least this move is taking me closer to family!
So, what does this mean? Well, I’ll probably not be blogging very regularly for a while as we will be very busy with packing, moving, unpacking, etc. Also, we’re moving someplace that does not have gardening options, so no gardening for at least the next year. We chose to move into a temporary apartment so we’d have some time to get used to living in the new city (and state!), determine where we needed to be for jobs and family, and where we want to be in terms of a more permanent home. The new place has neither a garden space nor a yard for the dogs. These are both things that we will really miss, but I think it will be worth giving up temporarily so that we have the time to find the “perfect” place to live. Personally, I’m crossing my fingers for a house out in the country with room for a garden and some chickens!
I’d like to say good-bye to all the great friends I’ve made while living here in Utah. In particular, I’ll miss my knitting and spinning friends from the guilds and those I met in the local yarn shops. I’ll really miss those great local yarn shops too! =) We’ve really enjoyed living here in Utah and certainly enjoyed the beauty of our surroundings. Last Saturday we packed a lunch and drove up the Big Cottonwood and had our lunch by the mountain stream. It was cool and the sound of the stream was such a lovely backdrop to our lunch. It was soooo beautiful! Of course, we forgot our cameras and binoculars, again. We could have kicked ourselves for forgetting them. I’m hoping to take another trip up, this time taking them along so I’ll have some pictures, maybe a video and sound file, to help remember one of our favorite places here. Take care Utah! Hopefully, we’ll be back for a visit soon!
