Goodbye Utah

Today we are moving out of Utah. It has been a great experience for us as individuals and a growing family. We had lots of firsts here in Utah. We loved our little apartment in Pleasant Grove. Gabbie learned to crawl, talk, walk and be the sneaker pants she is there. Lots of places around town became favorite, special spots for our family: Thanksgiving Point, Provo Canyon, many parks around town, and tons more.

I graduated and taught second grade for two years, learning a lot about myself as a person and professional. Kyle finally decided on being a teacher after many major changes and graduated in April. We lived in two places in the two and a half years we have been married. Each one was special for the opportunities and experiences we had there.

Gabbie was born and we have spent an amazing year and a half so far watching her grow and develop into a super fun, crazy, and energetic girl. She loves to see animals, especially dogs. Her favorite animal at the moment is Grandma Christensen's dog, Phoebe.

We made many friends that we are going to miss. Each one of them taught us something special and helped us to become better people. Thank you all for the examples you have been and for the light you brought into our lives.

It has been a good opportunity to live near Grandma and Grandpa Christensen. Gabbie has been able to see her grandparents, aunts, and uncles at least once a week since she was born. We love you all and will miss you. It is going to be very fun to come visit and see all the things we remember.

There are many new things coming up for us in Texas and we are very excited. It will be very fun to go exploring and find out what is around us. My family will be closer so hopefully we can manage to see each other more often than the last 5 years.

We love you all!!!

We will miss you guys so much! So many great things await you in Texas, and we wish you only the best! We are so sorry that the timing didn't work out so we could help you guys move and clean! We had been planning on it for Friday and Saturday and it was just kind of hard to rearrange our schedules last minute! I hope you understand. We're glad we got to go to Farm Country with you guys one last time. Keep in touch!!
