Farewell Logan. Hello Price!

I'm wanting to get this post in because I KNOW I'm going to be very busy the next couple of days.

The time has come for the Bennett Family to say goodbye to Logan, UT. Mitch got an AWESOME job being the Controller for a company in Price, UT, and we will be moving down there this Sunday/Monday. It's such a bittersweet move for me. Mitch is the type of personality that when he makes a decision he moves forward and doesn't really look back. It's a good thing. He can separate himself a lot better than me. He has buddies that he will talk to, but he knows that this is the direction that he needs to go in so he's not having that hard of time. Okay..He's having a hard time. Dealing with ME! My days have been filled with last lunches and dinners with old friends, visits to the nursing home visiting a wonderful neighbor of mine and emotional breakdowns. He always says that I make friends so easily and that they end up being friends for life, and I KNOW that I will be up here visiting often, but not being a quick walk away is going to be so hard! So to all my friends here in Logan..I love you! It has been an amazing three and a half years. Thanks for all the laughs and fun times that we have shared! And all my Zumba ladies, keep it shakin'! I'm going to miss going to Zumba with you. I'm SO GLAD that you all came and tried it out. I knew you would love it!

On the plus side, Price isn't going to be that bad. Sure..They are a small town (12,00 people in Price, 20,000 total in Carbon County EEEP!), but I have an already established, demanding group of awesome ladies there that I will be leading in Zumba! I'm excited to start my own class! Also, I can FINALLY finish up my degree and go full-time instead of here and there. My biggest excitement though...WE GET TO BUILD A HOUSE! SWEET! We've found a couple of areas that we are interested in. We are trying to decide between 5 acres or just 1 acre. So here in the next couple of weeks I will post a picture of our lot and hopefully a couple weeks after that they will start breaking ground on my new house! For now we will be renting. This next week I'm going to be taking a look at the schools and see if Anessa and Peyton would do better in the Charter School they have there, or if they will do better in one of the elementary schools they have. I'm really excited because they have a center for Cohen kind of like the one they have here except that it's a facility TOTALLY dedicated to children with special needs. Also, Mitch has a super-amazing boss who amazes me all the time. Actually ALL the people Mitch has talked to have been really nice and I guess they are all very anxious for me to get down there so they can finally meet me. It's kind of nice when people already like you and they don't know you. HAHA! To be honest though, I have heard nothing but good about Price. I've heard that a lot of people wish they could go back. I'm looking forward to it. I'm always up for a new adventure.

Here will be the new landscape we will be looking at. Pretty in a rugged sort of way.
