We keep talking about moving out of state so we can afford a house, but nowhere else seems right plus DH just got a new job so we're here for a while. And I'm totally find with that. :)flip flop mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770484678729883256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-27408089715742026282012-05-01T17:58:25.808-06:002012-05-01T17:58:25.808-06:00I love this post because you list all the reasons ...I love this post because you list all the reasons I love Provo and want to move back.

They all have pros and cons. I try really hard to enjoy the great things about each place and endure the not-so-great things. <br />I've enjoyed all of the cities I've lived in so far. And Provo is a great place.Tiffany Wacaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224661646987749451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-61592414932135323632012-04-30T16:40:39.574-06:002012-04-30T16:40:39.574-06:00Well I am here in Las Vegas.

I complain and look for another way to get us outta here and then something happens and the Lord bonks me over the head AGAIN that we are where we are supposed to be. Las Vegas is my "Muddy" (remember that talk by Elder Holland a few years ago?). Sigh...<br /><br />http://www.lds.org/liahona/2011/07/faith-to-answer-the-call?lang=eng&query=muddychercardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314841357351024070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-13404742128621341092012-04-30T15:55:47.275-06:002012-04-30T15:55:47.275-06:00Yes, why are you searching elsewhere?

I've lived in Utah and now live in gorgeous Portland Oregon but guess what I MISS UTAH. I love Portland too, but I can't tell you how many things I took for granted living there. Enjoy! Also about blogger not working well with iPads - yes, it's why I haven't blogged for months after my computer died. I could barely leave comments on peoples blogs with my iPad. I just gave up until I got a new computer. Good luck with that!Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334177593219870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-81317410069318318652012-04-30T15:11:53.838-06:002012-04-30T15:11:53.838-06:00Hahaha!

You comment on my post saying you think it was aimed at you, and I swear this one was written for me!!! :-) I have done exactly the same as you - all gung ho about living elsewhere and will go as far as to scout out neighbourhoods and find houses before hubby has even had an interview... And I will spend hours fantasising about setting up elsewhere and how exciting it would be. I just seem to have this want to always be somewhere else. (anywhere in America, mainly!) thank you for reminding me that I am where I need to be right now. And there are a lot of plus points about where we are, too! :-)<br /><br />Take care,<br />ChantelleChantellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184395185891560021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-16115537154481338232012-04-30T14:28:51.383-06:002012-04-30T14:28:51.383-06:00I LOVE this post.

I came out to BYU, and other than a few years in CA for military training, we never left. We keep talking about moving to the east coast for DH to work in the govt community there, but for some reason it just feels right to stay here for the next 3-5 years. And neither of us EVER wanted to live in UT. We don't live in "Happy Valley" ;) but we absolutely love our neighborhood and our ward (we have a lot of "generational" families in our ward, too!) While we also know that this isn't it for us, I have started coming to terms with the fact that we are supposed to be here, if only for a season. So far it's been great, and now I have to convince myself that I DON'T want to live in UT - up until a year or so ago and I had to convince myself that it was OKAY for me to live in UT for a few years.<br /><br />I know that I will love living wherever the Lord plants me.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667724269493668949noreply@blogger.com
