There.
Now that we have some background music going for us,
let's chat.
Changes.
Big ones.
I have had this quote for years and years
-honestly I don't remember where I got it,
but I love it:

When you come to the edge of all the light you have known,
and are about to step out into darkness,
Faith is knowing one of two things will happen;
there will be something to stand on,
or you will be taught to fly.
Well, my friends, I'm not exactly stepping into darkness.
I know there will be something to stand on....
but,
I'm hoping this little farmgirl fam will spread their wings and soar.
Once upon a blog post,
a couple summers back,
I had this to say at the end of my Idaho visit:

What can I say?
I just love this place.
It is what makes me...Me.
This place, and all the people there, are what made me Farmgirl.
(thank you Robyn for recognizing it)
And I could not be more grateful.

Going home is imperative.
Making sure my children's roots run all the way back to this Idaho farmland is one of the most important things I will ever do.

Well, one of the most important things
I will ever do is going to be a whole lot easier
come the beginning of June....
here goes....
We are leaving the St. G.
We are moving back to that Idaho farmland.
Me and Mikey and the punks are heading north.
To a house just up the road from my parents.
It's a mixed bag of emotions...
but, mostly it's nice to know that
we are doing just exactly what we should be.
We are blessed and life is good.
:o)

And by the by,
I'm pretty sure
that I am going
to need to increase
my fluid intake
dramatically over the
next 2+ months...
Many a tear was shed
just writing this
silly little post.

Wow....That''s BIG!!! Congratulations....I think. We came back to our roots too, and although it wasn't easy, and took some adjusting, it feels good to be around family! I only wish we could live down the street from my parents. That would be way cool.
I always look forward to your new posts because you make me laugh. BUT I was not expecting this kind of post!! This makes me totally tear up. I love your family and you guys are going to be really missed!! I can't imagine this little neighborhood without you guys. But with that being said, I am happy for your new adventure. It will be good for you to get back to your Farmgirl roots. You will just have to come back and visit your St. G friends A LOT!
Wow best of luck in your new adventures. I always say "move" is a four letter word that I don't want to hear, but even I admit that at times it is a necessary thing. Just think how much fun you are going to have being closer to family? It is pretty much what I have dreamed of for the past 25 years, well and even before that, not having it as a child. But alas it is not to be for me. I have to be happy with the consolation prize of living 5 hours away from 3 of my siblings. sigh. So here is to new things. Best of luck.
I don't love this post! Take it back. I don't want you to go. You are the closest thing I have to family here. For all the selfish reasons I need you here. But if I step out of my desires I can see that this will be a great thing. I can see your whole family thriving there. I will be glad to have you near your family....they're good people who will always make sure you are taken good care of.
But who will got to the store with me at night? Who will be Gil's best friend? Who will I always pass my book on to next? Who will laugh with me like we are sisters?
ah.....I am so sad but so happy for you! You will do great....after all you are the orginal farmgirl!

Wow. I'm speechless. I'm with everyone else, mixed feelings. Your whole family will for sure be missed here in these parts, but it sounds like being closer to family will be just what the dr. ordered. New adventures are kind of fun & most of the time, change is good and makes us stronger. At least you know you'll always have a place to go when you want to get out of the frozen tundra for a little bit!!
Riddle me this... you are moving closer to me, so why did this post get me weepy? I am so excited to have you up here, but I can feel for you and how it must be to leave St. George. You are so amazing and I am lucky to have you! Ok, enough of this, I am just going to call you. LOVES----
Wow! This is really big news. I heard via Adam's facebook post which made me tear up a little bit (what a cute kid). Anyway, the ward and neighborhood wil feel different without you guys. You guys are kind of staples around here. I am excited for your new adventure though. Change is good, right???
don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said. happy/sad all at the same time. happy for you, sad for me. Preston Road Trip- who's with me?
:(
I am so sad.
...and while I hate to bring this up at such a sensitive time, um...hello? The primary program? Nice. LOL
We will miss you!!!
First of all, I never knew those were what the lyrics said in that song. Thank you.
Second, I will TRY really hard to be happy for YOU and stop thinking about how much this stinks for ME. Like, really stinks. Big time. But I'm sure you're hearing that from a lot of people so that's probably not helping any.
p.s. Andrea's comment=hilarious, Anne- I'm with you for a road trip, Robyn- Dallin will have to be Gil's next best friend. Sorry you'll have to settle for second best.
:(
in some ways, I think your move is as big is mine - just more figurative:) Good luck, Preston will be lucky to have you all!
We are so excited to have you guys up our way. You will have to grow back that thick skin that melted away down south Or you will turn into an ice cube with our weather. Just think The farm will have an extra hand for the entire summer. I bet Adam is so excited about that (just kidding). See you in a few days.
It has felt like this has been coming for a while now; but that isn't going to make it any easier. But-- like I told you, I've known you too long for friendship to wither just because you change locals. You'll be just north of me, just in a different state instead of a street. I can deal with that; especially knowing you're happy and thriving. That's what I really want most of all.
Even further away from me.
That is about all I can say right now. Although I did spend one 4th of July in Soda Springs, so there is hope for a reunion.
I am happy for good choices!
dear friend. Why do I feel like crying when I don't even live there?? Good luck. Changes are hard, but so good. Thank heavens that, with the www, we are never far away.
Wow, farmgirl. My thoughts are with you in all the sadness and joy this move probably brings. I'd love to see you if I'm ever home.
Well now my eyes are moist. I'm a very sympathetic cryer, plus I get the big decision/change thing to a small extent. I'm just hoping that this means we might actually get to see each other more than every 10 - 20 years at a class reunion. ?. Wow. I'll sure be thinking about you (and trying not to be too jealous).
So I haven't been very good at keeping up with reading blogs lately and just read this. I hope by now you are excited and looking forward to the move. I have said many times that I wish that I could do what I do for a living and live remotely close to Preston. If only they had a major airport anywhere even close - bummer! I am sure you and your family will love it as I cannot think of a better place to raise a family - I know I cherish having grown up there! We'll be thinking of you!
