There are big changes right around the corner for our little family. Come July Lance will be beginning a job in Henderson, NV and come August he will beginning a masters degree program in Legal History at UNLV. We are very excited about this new chapter in our lives. So Las Vegas here we come....
We are grateful for the opportunity he will have to further develop his business, management, contract review, and legal counsel skills with this new job. We are also grateful that he will be able to pursue his passion in studying history. Perhaps this will open up further opportunities to research and teach in the future which is something we both think he would really enjoy.
We are both super excited and horribly sad to be leaving Utah. We have LOVED living here but see this as an opportunity that we need to pursue. Several things have fallen in place just so that made us feel that it was the right thing to do.
So heat here we come. Nothing like moving to Vegas in the summer. Ugg....
Top 5 Things We Will Miss (they make us tear up to just think about):
1. Family here :(
2. Friends (going to the gym without Amy is going to be tough)
3 Neighborhood/ Church Here
4. All of the outdoor activities we love here
5. The kids things (Especially Kai's preschool)
Top 5 Things We Are Excited About:
1. Lance's job and school (and the life change that will bring)
2. Being half way between both of our families- yippee for driving distance!!
3. All the great things people keeping telling us about in Vegas/ Henderson- including lots of kid stuff
4. New Friends (and my old friend Jamie who lives there)/ Neighborhood/ Ward
5. Probably a newer home (they are all new to us compared to ours now)
So now we are focused on getting things in order here. All of the things to figure out are overwhelming, but we will slowly keep ticking things off. If anyone has tips or knows of a great preschool in Henderson let us know. Is it strange that I am more concerned about preschool than where we are going to live at this point?

We are so excited for you but so sad to have you leaving. We have loved living so close and spending so much time with your family.
ashleigh, I'm so surprised but happy for you! Haven't talked to you in way too long I guess! :)
Aaron's brother Brig lived in Henderson a year and a half-ish ago and worked at UNLV as part of his residency - they had 4 kids by the time he left and LOVED the area in terms of families/kids/church. we'll have to e-mail about things because I'm sure they'd have advice about such things.
I'm happy that you'll be closer to your family, but still within driving distance from your friends and family in SLC. what a fun time for you. and congrats, Lance!
Wow, big things in store for you guys! How exciting (and probably a little rattling) to be starting somewhere new. Good luck with your new venture! Hope you find a great place in Vegas and the perfect preschool for Kai:)
Then my spies have reported correctly. We know the mixed feeling bag all to well. We will miss you terribly, but sure I'll run into lance at the Keno tables.
Um are you serious?! That is the craziest thing i have heard!
I'm so so excited for you guys. You'll love the change and I, too, hear Henderson is great. I actually have a cousin there and I'll send you her info.
I can't wait to see what your future holds! So exciting!
xoxo.
