Well, it has been a crazy, mixed up week here. Siobhan was in Idaho with a friend and during that time Pete was called and offered a new position with Macys. A humongous promotion for him and a huge move back to Utah for us. This has been a great experience for us. It's good to leave your comfort zone and throw yourself into something new. We have had to depend on each other and it was sometimes difficult. In the almost two years we have lived here a lot has happened in our lives. We have spent thousands of hours with my beloved Williams and my mom and John moved here. My only regret in moving is leaving my Mama. I can't write about it now, this is a freshly opened hurt and I need to leave it a minute. On the favorable side of leaving, I really dislike this town and it will always be a reminder of where I got sick. Besides leaving my family I am happy to be heading back to Salt Lake City. I am happy to see all my other family and my friends. I feel good there. I am comfortable and happy in the surroundings and Pete and I will be able to make a good life there for our kids. So two weeks from now we will be "Utahards" (thanks Kim and Troy). 
I'm sad to say, I must be on my way
I'm sad to say, I must be on my waySo buy me beer and whisky 'cause I'm going far away
I'd like to think of me returning when I can

First off, CONGRATULATIONS PETE !!! We're very proud of you. Mattie, I'm sure your feelings are very conflicted but life happens and we go with the flow. I know all will work out for the best and we'll just travel a little further to see you. Good luck with the move and know that you're in our hearts and prayers. How do all the kids feel about the move? Love you all, Dad
I am also very proud of Pete's accomplishments. John predicts that Pete is not done yet and that many promotions will follow. This is what hard work will do for you. Congratulations, Pete. Then...there's the other emotion. I am so brokenhearted. I have been so blessed to spend so much time with you and kids. I know that you are thoughtful of my feelings and I thank you for that. The distance will not interfere with our closeness. I love you more than you could ever imagine. I'll see you in a few hours....Love you the mostest! Mama
Mattie: too much to say in a comment. you know how much we love you. when should baby seven be ready?
