2 Days Until We Launch

In two days the Montgomery family is leaving Utah after 16 years.  It has been 16 years of snow, beautiful sunsets, skiing, great friends, Saturday's Voyeur, and raising my twin girls.  We moved into a home that needed LOTS of work and remodeled it twice.  We all became good skiers and Erin became a great skier.  I became a professional party giver. Alex went through countless obessions with making balloon animals, extravagant cakes, making videos...just to name a few and left a trail behind her all the way. Bill just hung on and survived it all.

While I can't (and wouldn't do that to you) we have a million memories here. I know I'm going to cry my eyes out Thursday morning as I say goodbye to the orchard where the girls had their little picnics, the barn the horses would never enter, the fireplace that was cozy every winter day and night, my family room that Robyn pirouetted with a tray of cheesecake (that didn't make it), my beautiful kitchen where I spent 90% of my time, and my fabulous front porch with the best view of Snowbasin in the valley. 

I also can't imagine how I'm going to survive without Robyn and Joe, our best friends.  While we've been blessed with many great friends and acquantances, they're family is part of ours.  We've done everything together and I know my life would never have been as fun, full of laughs, and interesting without them. 

While I know I make this sound very sad, I'm also very excited for our new adventure.  I decided to publish our trip from Utah to Florida for a couple of reasons.  First so that our friends can we what happens to us.  We're a lot of things, but we're not boring.  Things happen to us that no one would believe.  I call Robyn and tell her things...she's just happy she's not me most of the time because I live in Bazaro Land.    The second reason is because I am traveling across the United States.  Time to see some new places and meet new people!
