Move back to Utah

As many of you know, we have moved back to SLC. Eric decided to leave EBS, a biotech firm in San Diego, and go work for ATK, a defense contractor in Utah. The decision was hard since San Diego has wonderful weather, and the beautiful beaches, but in the end moving back to Utah was the best best decision for us. We couldn't afford to buy a home in California, and the cost of living was ridiculous. Not to mention, there is so much traffic and of course we didn't have any family or friends nearby. After considering the options, we made the decision to come back to Utah.

We left San Diego on Saturday, November 22 and headed to Las Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with Eric's parents. We had a great Thankgsiving and Geraldine and her family even came up. Then on Sunday, November 30 we drove the rest of the way to Salt Lake City. We arrived in Utah late on Sunday night. On that following Monday, December 1st, the movers arrived with our things. We began the hard task of unpacking and unboxing our things.

We are renting a home in Sugarhouse, until we find the right home to buy. Eric and I are both very eager to leave this house. Its old, really drafty, and has alot of issues, not to mention the rooms are small and because the home was built in 1942, the closet is a teeny small little space with 1 rack, which they call a closet.

So far we are happy to be back here. We are adjusting to the freezing cold weather, and have had to invest in winter hats, mittens, and jackets. We have also stocked up on tea's, coffee, hot chocolate and any other drinks that are served hot.
