We can hardly believe it either, but we are moving to Plano, TX. What the...what?!?! We'll be relocating on someone else's dime in mid-February. It is really sudden actually. Ben hasn't been really looking for a new job. This practically fell in his lap and it should be a really amazing opportunity for Ben and his career. He'll be working for HNTB in the corporate ventures division doing engineering design stuff, that is about all I know. You'll have to ask him on the details.
It still hasn't quite sunk in that we are moving. Idaho has been a really nice place to live and I am really going to miss the friends I've made up here and our great neighbors. I can't believe that we're doing this again, relocating to a new place. We don't feel quite ready to leave. I think it'll be hard, but hopefully a lot of fun. At least this time I'm not 8 months pregnant! It is going to be hard being so far away from Utah too. It is like a 20+ hour drive to Utah or California, so we won't get a chance to do those trips as often :(
So Texas... we drove through it when I was about 10 years old on a family road trip and that is the only experience I have of being in Texas. Have any of you guys ever been to the Dallas area?It actually seems like a really nice place to live. The thing that really makes me happy about going is the mild winters, oh yeah, they do have cold times, but just last week it was in the mid 60's. So I won't complain about that. We still hope to make it back to Utah someday, being without family and our awesome friends is really hard. But for now we're off on another adventure (that was a little cheesy). Well there you go, our schedule is going to be crazy leading up to this move, so I thought I'd let everyone know on here.
Wish us luck :)

Lori that sounds like such a great career opportunity. Why is it that all our GNO girls have to leave us. :( We'll miss you. You've got to at least take a break for your last GNO in Feb.
Wow! Texas! I'm so happy for Ben and his career. That's awesome. Good luck!
Awesome! Congrats, that is great news. We lived in Plano for about 5 months and I LOVED it. I'm actually kind of jealous!
I have a feeling you'll like Texas too. I'm way escited for you guys!
My little Sis lived in Plano for a few years with her hubby and 2 sons while her hubby worked in Dallas. I think they really liked it there. But we are happy that they are back in Utah now.
I'm excited for you guys and hope it ends up being a great opportunity.
But I also hope that like my Sis you come back in a few years.
So...go, be free get it out of your systems, then come back to us all happy and grown.

Wow--exciting! It's hard to move, but it's always fun too. Can't wait to hear about TX! I've only been to San Antonio, but it was beautiful (and I know nothing about TX, so it could be on the other side of the state from Plano? Anyway, I'm sad that we won't see you as often here in UT, but I'm glad that you have a good opportunity ahead of you!
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
We move to Texas and start a trend? Just kidding, I don't know if you heard that Randy & Coleen are moving to San Antonio the end of the summer. I think you guys will only be a little over 3 hours away! We'll have to get together. Let us know if you need any help!
I actually have family in Plano, and they love it. They are morman too and love there ward. Plus you are super cute so no worry on making friends. love you
