Good things

[brdgt]

Y'all, I can't tell you how excited we are about the move - even the parts that could potentially be stressful have seemed to magically work out - they are paying for relocation, unlike Madison (where landlords make you resign a lease a year in advance) there are still tons of apartments available, we know quite a few people out there, a friend wants to drive us out when we move so she can visit her cousins, the cost of living is less, Nick keeps hearing great things about working in this lab, etc. etc.

For example, at lunch today:
Nick: [referring to one of his good friend's summer camping trip, which we can't go on because we'll be moving/working] Well if it's just him and his friend then they'll just go to Rocky Mountain National Park in late August.
Me: So, if we get a car as soon as we get there we can go for part of their trip!
Nick: Oh. Yeah... And then convince them to do Mt. Ranier, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens next year with us?

Last weekend we attended nearlymay's wedding and have another wedding this weekend. I got to wear my hot red dress, which looks even better on me 20 pounds lighter than November :)

I had a childhood friend whose parents moved the family back to SLC when we were in the 4th grade, so I spent one week every summer up through high school visiting them. So I'll be interested to hear about your experiences of living and moving there. I definitely remember being there during Pioneer Days, which is their version of the 4th of July, and when Sonia Johnson was kicked out of the Mormon Church for campaigning on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment.

We already know quite a few people living there or who have lived there. In general the horror stories come from people who have never even been there, like the people telling me I can only have one glass of watered down wine at dinner, even though I've had three glasses of red wine at an Olive Garden in Utah, so I'm pretty sure they were talking out of their ass.
