Oh Utah, Utah Take Us In.....

"Load the car and write the note.
Grab your bag and grab your coat.
Tell the ones that need to know.
We are headed north.

One foot in and one foot back.
But it don’t pay to live like that.
So I cut the ties and I jumped the track.
For never to return...."
--Avett Brothers

.............................

We're moving to Utah this summer. Say three hail marys and throw some salt over your left/right shoulder. We can't continue to ignore the motherland's siren call. Calvin informed Cory on a campout this past weekend that "Jesus lives in the mountains."


(This is supposed to be the three of us.)

I don't know who the guy on the right is?
Maybe a hitchhiker we picked up in Kanab?
Hopefully he doesn't have his greedy eye on our winter salted pork supply.

Wow. Utah. Of course you decide to move back to Utah when I live in Iowa. You know we live on the "trail" too. Iowa has great... well we are here at least. Good luck with the move.

Julie nooooooooo! How did this happen? One item on my "top ten reasons I'm excited to live in ut" is "reconnecting with the Little Ladies". I had so many shenanigans planned for us. please move back!

That strange guy on the right is Sam. I'm surprised you don't recognize him. And as you can see, I am clearly still sitting on the wagon. Yeah, we make really great stowaways.

I still can't believe you're doing it. First Sunday in May, I'm fasting that you guys will end up staying. Is that blasphemous? I'm doing it anyway.

Yahoooo!! I'm still here! Now, we just have to get Julie back. I'm so impressed you know how to spell shenanigans! Can't wait to get into them with you!

Um, what????? Did you accidentally type "Utah" when you meant to type "Virginia?"

When do you move there? Sarah and I will be there the week of the 4th. Can we please make a date for that week on the porch of the Sasa? I don't know who lives there, but I'm sure they won't mind us hanging out there for a few hours.
