Hey I decided since it is official I will announce that Jeff accepted the job he interviewed for a few weeks ago which is great, but it also means that we are moving! Yeah like next week so now would be a good time to mention it.
We are excited but nervous because it is really hard to move somewhere you aren't already at. Long distance housing searching is not fun. At least my siblings are down there and have been checking places out for us.
Oh, I will mention that Jeff's new job is based out of Lehi, UT which is about 30 minutes south of Salt Lake City. We aren't excited about being in Utah but the job is great and pays and there are so many things to do down there!
So another update will follow in a few weeks with our new address and stuff.

Ok anyone who knows that I care about wildlife, nature and especially endangered species. Check out this ad that is going to be put into a national magazine, I think the New York Times.

And believe me, I have done my research and what they are saying is true and not exaggerated. We are stewards to this earth and everything living on it. I just think, how selfish and self-absorbed can mankind be? Haven't we learned to share yet?

Don't you wish sometimes that you were smaller to enjoy more things? This is a photo taken in front of Brian and April's new townhouse in Springville, UT. Jeff & Brian made this cool little snow slide for Calder and he loved it. Jeff tried to go down it but nearly demolished it in the process. We had a great time down in Utah this last week and a half. Jeff interviewed for a job from Monday to Monday camping and learning. They did offer him a job at the end of the week interview and so we are debating on if this is right for our family. You will hear again from us soon about that. But back to the fun! We enjoyed the snow a lot and had lots of fun staying with Brian and April, and getting together with Garrett, Kricket, Jenna, Cooper, Bethany and John. It was really nice to have family around while Jeff was out in the wilderness exploring his career options and potentially helping troubled youth. So to list off all the things Calder and I did while Jeff was gone: first and importantly I did my homework, we had a couple gatherings with everyone, we went shopping (thanks to Grandma J, Johanna has a lot of new clothes), we went sledding, we had a field trip to Krispy Cream donuts, we played at Garrett & Kricket's house, I went out with some friends to a movie and dinner, Julia (Calder's 'godmother') came over for dinner, and we played a lot while people were at work or school. I may have missed a few things but the point is we had fun and want to thank everyone who supported us in this time of searching for a new job and getting a little closer to going back to school for Jeff. We love you all and hope to see and or hear from some of you soon!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We hope everyone had a great and safe holiday break. Sorry this photo is blurry. We didn't realize it at the time. We also did most of our moment capturing with the video camera, which I now regret. Maybe Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Dann will have some that turned out better. We did have stockings but we had to move the tree to somewhere better to get at presents in the morning. So we had a nice long break and enjoyed spending some of it with family. Calder got a ton of good toys and clothes and books. Although it wasn't a "white Christmas" we have had snow here off and on for the last month so we enjoyed some winter wonderland-ness of our own. We miss and love everyone of you and hope that everyone got our family news letter. If not let us know where to send it!
