well...
i'm not pregnant.
but we are moving.
to the desert.
really fast.
wes got a job at amangiri, a resort near lake powell he's had his eye on for awhile. it's a really great opportunity. aman resorts are a big deal in the resort world, so to get his foot in the door at this company is awesome.
weston is good at stuff guys.
he starts at the end of the month, so we're moving in three weeks. we have to be out of this apartment asap because our landlord won't post it until we're out (we have two months left on our contract. if you wanna move to springville give me a call) so we're moving to sojo this weekend.
lots of feelings. a lot of excitement. a lot of nervousness. sad to leave springville, family, friends, and just the general familiarity of where we've both lived for the last three years. excited to live somewhere totally different and kind of break out on our own and stuff.
we're determined to become outdoorsy people. it's beautiful down there, and it's definitely a place to be outdoorsy. tips appreciated. go easy, we're beginners.
right now the place we're looking at is in big water, utah. population: 400. oh heeeey. we'll be 15 minutes from the buzzing metropolis of page, arizona.
i'm so, so proud of weston, and we're both excited to take on this new adventure. details forthcoming as they develop.
update on elsie:
3 months old! her new favorite hobby is yelling. not crying-yelling just yelling because she found out she can make that noise. so she does it all day long. she also laughs a lot, mostly at weston. though i don't think she's really figured out that her hands are attached to her, she does use them to put whatever she can grab (like my hair, fuzzy blankets, etc) into her mouth like so:
mostly elsie is a totally delightful baby. she hardly ever cries, and when she does it's only because she wants to be fed or go to sleep or because ashley bright is around (haaaaha). i also don't know what we did to deserve this, but she sleeps from about 9:00-6:30. please bless she keeps it up.
she likes to sit in her bouncy chair and kick REALLY HARD and if she catches you looking at her she kicks faster with this really determined look on her face. elsie doesn't really dig on eye contact if you're trying to have a one-on-one conversation with her, much like her mother.
i wanted to post a video of elsie laughing but as soon as i started recording she stopped, so mostly it's just a video of me making a really obnoxious noise (that made her laugh at one point) and her staring at the camera. someday maybe.

epic individuals, both of you.
oh, she sounds so cute. PLEASE put up videos...even with obnoxious mom sounds!
that picture is so cute. here's to hoping that jack learns that nighttime is for sleeping.
congratulations on the move!! although i kind of wish the resort was a bit more our direction.
i know i am not the one moving, but ever since i heard this news I have been having so many FEELINGS! haha. i will miss you guys so much, and I was really looking forward to being elsie's favorite babysitter. *huff!* but you can count on some visits from me and Jacob this summer. We will be passing through Page at least four times, i'd say. I can't wait to hear about your adventures in the desert.
Super excited for this new adventure. Elsie is beautiful and I can't wait to meet her!
Congrats! What an exciting opportunity!
