Finally the world can know our future plans. We are sadly leaving Abu Dhabi in June of this year. Every year we have been here has been better than the one before. We have grown closer as a family and shared so many great experiences to cherish as memories for a lifetime. We have had a chance to share this part of the world with many of our friends and loved ones who may never have traveled here without us to encourage them. We have found a home here and it will be hard to leave. It is bitter-sweet. We will head home to Utah but not to a home we have known before.
We will be moving to Cedar City where Brad will be the Provost of Southern Utah University. It is the right thing for our family to do at this time but it doesn't make it any easier to leave the friends we have made here.
Any of you who have been thinking of making a visit here should plan to come soon. Our last few months will be crazy with packing and planning but we always have time to accept visitors and would love to show people around.
It has been inspiring to me to see the growth that can come from making changes that are challenging. We are all better people for having come to this part of the world.
The sweet will come with living closer to family that we have missed so much. I am thrilled to be returning home in time to see Sarah and JD's new baby girl grow up. The kids are so happy to be closer to all their cousins and best friends.
