After graduation where will you go?
 |
| STAY IN HOUSTON WITH ME! |
 |
| PLEASE STAY IN EAST TEXAS FOREVER!! |
 |
| PLEASE, UTAH, PLEEEEEEEZE! |
In 2010 we started school and did not know Texas. We naturally leaned towards Utah as being our final destination.
In 2011 we knew that Texas was amazing and realized that Texas vs. Utah was sitting at 50/50.
In 2012 we continued with the 50/50 opinion until the end of the year when we both were wrestling with the decision and finally came to a peaceful conclusion that Utah would again be our home.
In 2013 we continued feeling that Utah was our future. However over the summer the cold hard reality hit us with doubts and the end of the year filled us with dreams and visions of a lovely life in East Texas. We felt very strongly a huge change in our hearts and all of our Utah plans were definitely uprooted.
Here's a list of what will lead us to making this decision.
Priority #1 is God. He knows whats best. We're waiting for the heavens to open and a fortune cookie to fall from the sky with our destiny written on it.
Priority #2 is Isaac/Luke/Jonas. We need them to be raised in the best place ever.
What's good for boys?
-The great outdoors
-Family
-The non Mormon community (long discussion)
-The Mormon community (long discussion)
-Safe neighborhoods/community/town
-Quality schools
Priority #3 is Amy
She says no to the COLD. so.... summers in UTAH and winters in Hawaii??
Priority #4 is Brad
I say no to the allergies.

So I think Montana is looking very nice.
In all seriousness we've told folks a simplified story about how Family is in Utah but Money is in Texas.
Utah has been our home and our family does call us there but here's what's not in Utah:
Financial success
Warmer climate for Amy
and...
I have a strong missionary spirit which I cannot shake and which is getting ahold of Amy a bit too. We are pulled away from Utah for that reason.
Texas has done an amazing job of convincing us that Home is there for us.
I planned on making resume's and sending them forth and waiting for a job to land.
That's not gonna work. So I'm thinking up a new strategy right now...
Wish us luck in our decision making. We still have 5 months and who knows what could happen. That fortune cookie however would be the best if it came sooner rather than later!
