BIG NEWS!!!

Our WHOLE family @ Wolf Creek
Tiffany & Matt Hunting

Hello family & friends,

I am sorry it has been so long.  I don't get to the internet enough, but I'm at inlaws and they have it so I'm taking advantage of it.

We are doing well.  August has been a busy month for us.  First we had a reunion at Wolf Creek.  That was a lot of fun.  We stayed in a nice, huge house with all the conveniences.  Two kitchens, lots of bathrooms, rooms, beds, tvs, ping-pong table.  It was like an upgrade from home with an amazing view of the valley.  We did lots of swimming at the pool & went to a great beach at Pineview Reservoir.  We had lots of food to eat (of course) and had fun being together.  My brother brought his Wii and we had too much fun playing it.   There was golfing into the night and day, plus boxing matches between father and son (Owen vs. Jared:  Owen held up a good fight, but in the end was slowly losing and started to cry, so Jared had to let him win ;)  We all want one now!!  Thanks Nat & Bob for your hard work!!

Then the next weekend, my sister Tiffany got married to Matt Hunting.  We are definitely happy to have him.  He's so good to her and a great guy!  If he can survive our family, then we'll keep him!  The Bountiful temple was beautiful and the reception was nice the next day.  Everything worked out good (to the last minute, but good).  It was nice to see many friends and family that I have not seen for a long time.

But all of that is not our big news!!  No, we are not pregnant, I know that's what all of you are thinking!  Our big news is...  we are moving back to ST. GEORGE!!!

Jared has not been pleased with his job and so when his job at Dixie opened up at the beginning of July, he just couldn't pass it up.  It's been a slow process, but this past week, they offered him the job and we have accepted.  He is very excited to be back with Dixie and those he works with there.  They have been rooting for him the whole way.  Jared has always loved St. George and it's where he's been the happiest in his life.

It's more bittersweet for me.  I have a brand new beautiful house, with family and friends so close by.  Plus I really like Logan.   But I also have lots of friends in St. George and I know that I can be happy there too.  Our family is just going to have to make extra efforts to come see us.

I will have to be in Logan until we sell our house, but Jared will start working sometime mid-September or the end of.  He has a place to stay w/o paying rent, so that will help us a ton.  I just hope that we can sell our house soon, so we don't have to be apart at all or very long.  So please pray for us!!

We are excited to go back home, but will miss what we have here in Logan.  We have learned much and hope that this next season of life will be a bit less busy.

We love you all!!
