It's Official...We are Moving!

After much thinking, praying, considering, option weighing Brett and I finally made the decision for him to accept a dental position in Payson, AZ. That's right this city girl is going to become a small town gal in a few short weeks. The dental contract has been signed, our house will be rented out and we are in the works of trying to find a rental home in Payson. It's a bitter sweet decision, but one we feel really really good about not only career wise, but for our family as well. Brett is super excited about graduating next month and becoming a full fledged Dentist at Anderson Dental Group. Payson is defintely a place that's right up his alley...cowboys, hunting, camping, fishing...he is in heaven. I know it's going to be an adjustment for me, but I know I will come to love it up there (especially during the summers) and it's a good feeling to know I am literally just an hour from everything that I love. I am going to miss my unbelievable friends, but I know they are only a phone call or short drive away. I am going to really miss teaching my classes...my dedicated participants keep telling me to tell Brett to commute or just go without me (it's so nice to be loved by them). I'm going to miss my convenient shopping places, but it will be good for me to go without...that is until I come and visit...which will be frequently. I have always liked the thrill of moving and starting a new adventure and I'm really excited to actually be able to do that with Brett and the kids.

Here's a few pics from our quick trip up to Payson on Saturday to look for rental homes. We decided to stop at Flowing Springs and have a little picnic and fishing time afterwards. The kids are so excited to move to Payson!

Great...just when we will be moving home soon you guys move out! I don't like that!! But it sounds like a great opportunity. After being in school and having so much dept to pay off, I realize why people move to where there is a job.
Good luck with everything!!

Donnie that is sooo exciting! Tell Brett we are sooo excited for him...(and you of course, it takes just as much out of the wife).
I don't like that we will move home finally in Dec. and you guys will be gone!! Sad for us. Who is going to be our family dentist now???
Good luck with everything!

How fun and exciting! I would love to live there. Away from everyone to do your own thing but not to far to visit, good luck with moving!!

Congrats to you and your family! My father in law is a cop in Payson so if you ever get pulled over by an Officer Montgomery just tell him you know me (or Bo) and hopefully he will let you out of a ticket. :)
