So... I guess it is time to reveal the big news I KNOW you have spent all night trying to figure out. I apologize for any lost sleep and/or peeing of pants that I have caused. Our big news of the month...or year...or hopefully years to come is that we have decided to pick up from our warly(warm and cozy) home in Lehi, Utah.... and move 14 hours north to ALBERTA, CANADA. If this is a shock to some of you, believe me it is a shock for us. We have toyed with the idea of going back to Canada, or should I say Kyle has been whispering in my ear about free healthcare and endless poutine, since being married. I have gotten my way to stay here until now. The last 3 weeks we have come to a bit of a stand still in our lives. Things were ending... new things needed to be started... and we started talking about going. AND NOW WE ARE... in about 3 weeks!!! Holy cow, I think I just peed my pants... I am freaking out a bit. Although it seems as if we are just jumping onto the Canada bus, we have seriously put numerous hours and days and time on our knees praying for guidance about what we should do with our lives. We know this is the right thing for our family, so if we stop thinking about that I ONLY HAVE 3 WEEKS, we feel happy and at peace with our decison. Now... we just have to make lots of phone calls, pack everything we own, break my grip on my mommy/daddy/family and friends, and find some decent people to rent our condo! Piece of pie right? Right.... ok, just writing this is making me antsy and want to start packing so I will have to write more later- I found some funny quotes about Canada that are TOTALLY true and crack me up that I will post. I have included a map of where we are going. Ok, the map is totally tinsy... just imagine driving through Idaho and Montana and then you are there! We will actually we living just a bit outside of Calgary for now.
Calgary Skyline!

Wow!! That is incredible! Your Mom actually told me last night at YW. I am excited for you all and this new adventure in your life! At least we will stay connected through the blog world!
WOWSERS!!! That is so awesome, and what a fun adventure for your family! 3 weeks is soon, and I bet you are going to love it up there. Will you be close to his family up there? I have a friend who lives up in Canada somewhere and loves it! I am so excited for you!! Congrats on your new adventure. Stay updated on your blog!!
WHAT!? You are moving to Canada, eh? I'll miss you!! I never would have guessed you'd be moving there, but what an adventure for you and your family. Good luck with packing and moving in 3 weeks! Yikes! I'm glad it's you and not me. Hope everything goes well!
(Maybe you can say hi to my mom's ex-husband up there... or not really)
We will be sad to see you leave! We hope all goes well during your move. We've done the whole packing, moving across the border...all I can say is GOOD LUCK and use lots of bubble wrap...eh!
Dude I'm psyched for you. Rob and I would love to live in Canada.
WHAT!!!? Ok, that's it. We need to get together before you guys move! I'll have to tell Sky and tell him to call Kyle so we can work something out. How sad, but exciting for you guys! What an adventure it will be--a whole new country. :) And now maybe it will give us an excuse to visit Canada. (never been there)
Oh, and when you mentioned about Kyle becoming a history teacher, it totally flashed me back to when we acted in his movie for one of his education classes up at BYU-I. I'm pretty sure he kept getting mad at me and Sky for laughing. Too funny--random memories!
Canada?!! When?
