(no- we are not pregnant again.)
Folks, we are packing up and heading east... That's right, we are moving to Virginia!!
What's taking us to VA you ask??
Justin got a job with Sun Trust Bank. A recruiter found his profile on LinkedIn, (yeah, crazy right?) She saw that he went to college in VA and had the exact experience they were looking for in a person to help start a new program at their bank... an SBA 7(a) lending program. (umm, yeah it means nothing to me either, other than the fact that they are fully relocating our weee little family because 7(a) SBA loans are in that HIGH of demand out there!!
Anyway, Suuuuper long story made short... after 3 months of phone interviews and waiting, (yeah, serious emotional rollercoster!)...they flew Justin out to interview and offered him the job the very next day!
Everything has happened so fast since then... a serious whirlwind, but this move feels SO right, like there are reasons for this move far beyond our comprehend right now...and we are excited for the change, and challenges and opportunities it will bring.
Our ship-out date is November 27th! Yeah, less than a month. Justin actually leaves on Nov. 15th to start work... he'll fly back for Thanksgiving to be with his family one last time and then we all head out the next day...
ohhhhh. I'm not even going to think about who or what I'll miss here in Utah... because the list is way too long... but Thank Heaven's for blogs and facebook and phones and air planes that will allow us all to stay connected!!! What a blessing.
SO, the BIG challenge for us right now is selling our home sweet home that we've put our blood sweat and (yes) tears into... it makes us sad to have to leave it esp. after a brand new roof... but we are hoping there will be someone who will take care of it just as we have... SOOOO if you know anyone who's looking for a CHARMING home in the SUGARHOUSE area, (salt lake city, UT) send them our way... :) I may be a tad bias... but it IS the BEST house in the neighborhood... Also includes the BEST neighbors in the whole state of UTAH!!

Ah, yes its about time, WELCOME BACK to VIRGINIA you guys! WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David shared the news with me after the guys golf outing and I was SO jealous. Holy cow. Are you guys blessed or what!?!
We'll have to plan a weekend getaway together with the boys next fall. I've always wanted to see New England in autumn.
Love to you and yours!!!
P.S. Do you need me to bring in dinner or take the kids for the day? I am more than willing to do either!
How exciting for you guys!! Hope all goes well with the move and settling in to your new place!
Thanks for the details Amanda! It was fun to read how it all came about and I am so excited for you guys. We may be following you out there (well sort of) to Conneticut (is that even how it is spelled?) by the middle of January. Life is so crazy sometimes, but I LOVE adventures.
Hey Amanda! I just happened to check your blog from Courtney's website - that's so awesome that you're getting to move closer to family : ) Best of luck to you - your family is adorable!!!!! The funniest thing is that I know all about SBA 7(a) and 504 loans - I was a paralegal at a CDC in Sacramento and reviewed all the loans for compliance. Have you gone cross-eyed yet? haha. It is soooo not exciting, but such a great opportunity for your family! Say hi to everyone back home!!!! Take care!
