Update

I've been a huge slacker in the blogging department lately, so it's about time to do a little update. The beginning of November Chad went to Denmark for a week. He met the people he'll be working with in his department, spent a little time touring the town and found us housing. It was a huge relief to have found a place to live. Housing is so different than here. We will be moving out of our 4 bedroom house with a huge yard into a small 900 sq. ft. apartment. It'll be quite an adjustment! Luckily it has 3 bedrooms, so we'll probably put the kids in the master bedroom, take one of the smaller rooms for Chad and I and use the 3rd room for a computer room/playroom/guest room, etc. I wonder how I'll adjust to a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and washer/dryer that are all about 1/2 the size of what we have now.
November flew by very quickly. I had 3 large craft shows I attended with my business and online orders were very high for the month, so I was extremely busy. We had a nice Thanksgiving with my family coming up for the big dinner. Besides that, I barely remember November, so on to December where I finished up with holiday sales around the 10th. I sold my business to a great girl in our neighborhood, who I'm sure will do a great job with it. It has been a little sad to part with something I built up from nothing. But, I'm sure I'll come up with something new in the future. We just finished training last week.
And apparently I wasn't stressed enough, because I ended up having a kidney stone during the beginning of the month, which encompassed both the shortest and longest drive through Logan canyon to visit the ER, several doctor visits and ultimately surgery. Luckily I recovered fairly quickly, because I still had all of my online orders and business stuff to take care of during the middle of it all. Crazy!
Then, this past weekend, Jordyn (Chad's sister), got married. Her wedding day was such a wonderful and fun day for them, I'm sure, and for us as well. It was fun hanging out with family and sad saying good-bye to some people we won't see again for the next 3 years.
So, now, we just have Christmas and moving ahead of us. I'm almost ready for Christmas. It's been very hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year with having so much going on, but luckily the kids are around to remind me what it is all about. Once Christmas is over, it's a sprint to the finish. (the move)
We have purchased our tickets and will officially be flying to Denmark on January 18th. We are moving out of our house in Hyrum at the end of December (and yes, even though it's December 20th, we have nothing packed), will spend about a week with my family in Sandy, fly to Florida and spend a week with Chad's family, then we'll be off on our big adventure. We are going over with nothing more than our 5 suitcases. We've decided that it's just too expensive to ship over anything, so everything else will just sit in storage for the next 3 years. I think we are the most nervous about the first day there, having nothing in the house. It'll be interesting, and exciting, we hope!
So, there you have it. A quickish update. Hopefully I can blog a little more often now that I have a little more time. haha
