CO to UT

Man have I been struggling to get back going on our blog. I have never been good at writing in my journal growing up but always have enjoyed after it was done. As I looked over many blogs I haven't seen in a long time I decided to start it up again. BIG changes in our family lately. We were doing the school thing back in Colorado and had every intentions to continue with that journey, but the lord has his ways in putting something in the way and changing that plan. It was around the first of December that I had a feeling that we needed to move back to utah by my family. I knew that it wouldn't be possible unless DJ had a good job to move for. I had been looking at jobs online to see what was open and nothing that looked good. So probably about a week later I was talking to my mom and she was telling me that her neighbors across the street was leaving and that house was up for rent. Well as much as I wanted to move right away without no job, I knew that DJ wouldn't do it. So I figured that the house would be long gone. I was messanging my sister one day back and forth and she said that 3 drivers had quit at Scholzen Products were my dad has worked for 25 years. Well DJ had been driving for his job for about 2 years and I called my dad to see what to do. I called DJ up and told him and he called and got a application. By this time it was about a week before christmas and we were planning on going out to Utah after Christmas. We waited for about a week till Scholzens got back to DJ. Dj had come home for lunch and said to me I start on the 31st, I said WHAT!!!! No way how come you didn't tell me? I was so excited, then the fact that he said the 31st scared the crap out of me. How are we going to move in a week, clean the house and get out of our lease. Along with Christmas coming up in 4 days. As we talked more to my parents they decided to come out the day after  Christmas to help us move and clean. We packed up and cleaned in 2 days( The moving truck is another story) I had to drive the whole 12 hrs by myself. I took Bronx and Sawyer with me, my parents took Pace and DJ took Trey. It was good to be able to split up all the kids and give me the easier kids. Although all of our kids are really good travellers, they just like to quarel at each other every so often. So we ended up making it, with all dry roads and no snow. It was a perfect day to move. We are living in a smaller home than we are used to, but it has a basement and an upstairs so it makes it seem so cramped. I am enjoying living 2 secs from my parents and down the street from my brother and sisters familys. It has been so much fun already. Getting settled in more everyday and less boxes out of our home. DJ is working up in the Steel house and has enjoyed it very much. It has been cold the past few days so I imagine that it isn't as fun, but he hasn't complained and has enjoyed every bit of his job already. Hopefully one day he will move on up, and possibly be able to do wood stuff on the side. To be able to enjoy his hobby more now that he hasn't had to worry about school.
