I have lived in Utah all of my life. I have never really had a big desire to move but for some reason the last few months I am a devoted "city hunter." I spend every hour of every day reviewing pros and cons of each city that pops into my head for whatever reason. A few weeks ago I was watching Paul Deen on The Food Network and she was in Savannah Georgia. She was surrounded by tall trees, water and smokin southern food. So then I research the city of Savannah and real estate, seriously it's beautiful. So beautiful that I spend an hour talking to Trig about moving there. He comes up with excuses, lots and lots of excuses. The two I remember vaguely were "rednecks" and "mosquitoes." He forgets that I am from Carbon County and will fit right in with the rednecks... :-) Portland, well I've wanted to move there since high school. It's green living has always appealed to me. It's natural beauty, rainy days, grunge style, food, close to ocean etc. etc. Then I always dream about San Diego, but I can't sacrifice a nice home and yard for a $700,000 shack in the slums... Trig likes AZ, but me way too hot, I don't want to melt. Then the kids, Ethan is against leaving his friends unless they move with us which they would to Portland area but no further. He finally told me that if I find him a job in the Portland area we can move. Then I look at the weather daily in Portland and it's rain, rain, rain, with chance of meatballs. The weather isn't ideal but it's so green and "fresh" I can't deal with the snow anymore, my bones start to ache. I will continue the search for the perfect place and let you know when I find it!!

Savannah Georgia is currently at the top of my relocation list. I almost applied for jobs there for this school year and am seriously considering next school year. I'd love to have a friend already there...
I just emailed Trig a job posting for a software nerd in Savannah. Seriously I asked Amy if she would move there and she said "Where do I sign" Even if it's just for a few years I want to live there...Let's Go.. Kristi, do you know how I change my font color??
I've lived in Portland and Phoenix and I love them both. Phoenix winters are awesome but the summer is brutal, especially with kids. Kids don't play outside much in Phoenix, unless you're swimming. I LOVE Portland. My mother-in-law lives there and we rent a beach house on the coast every year. Very nostalgic place for me. We lived in Lake Oswego which is basically Portland but very quaint and small town feeling. Janeall served her mission in Savannah and loved it. I don't get the itch to move anymore. I think we've moved 11 times. We need to get together again some time!
Savannah is beautiful...the worst place we ever lived as far as bugs (mosquitos) was North Dakota....go figure. Go to the dashboard and click on design then template designer and then advance and then page text to change the color....
