"You guys must be crazy."

I know you are all thinking it or you will be thinking it after you read this. We do sometimes feel crazy. My new motto is Enjoy the Now.

I have been waiting to update our plans to be sure that we weren't going to change our minds again. I haven't figured out a way to explain our plans without people saying "Wow", "crazy", or "you guys sure are adventurous". I definitely do not feel adventurous and it would be kind of nice to answer "what's up?" with a simple "nothing, just the same old". Anyway here goes...

1. We bought a townhome in Springville. And I still have a few boxes to unpack, but we are feeling settled. I am sure I will make friends, but I really miss my Boston ward, friends, and neighbors. We like being close to family, and Josh is really loving being the center of attention.

2. Ben has postponed Business school for a year to contine working on Personal Pathways. It is a really good experience for him, and he is enjoying the challenge and responsibility. Since we are living in Utah, he is commuting to Washington D.C. every other week. He has leased some office space in Orem.

3. In January Personal Pathways will launch a test site in D.C., and Ben will need to be on site full time. So we will move to D.C. sometime in January for probably six months. I think we will rent some place furnished and just bring some of our stuff.

The rest of the plans are still up in the air...

4. We may just leave our place as it is and empty. Or we may try to rent it to family. Either way hopfully we won't have to pack up much stuff. (I can't actually imagine turning around in January and putting stuff back in boxes).

5. Ben has deferred his acceptance to BYU MBA until next year, so we may stay in our townhome and he will go to BYU. Or we are still toying with the idea of applying to a few other schools. This is a hard one, because Ben really likes the program at BYU. Yet in the past we have both felt that maybe we should be somewhere else. What it really comes down to is that we just need to understand where the Lord would have us go. And then the decision will be easier.

Ok that's that. No guarantees that it won't change, but for my sanity I sure hope it doesn't. Oh yeah... I really like our cute townhome. I will post some pictures as soon as it is put together enough.
