UTAH it is!
SO ever since Ted got the job in UT, I have heard the good, the bad, and the ugly!
I vaguely remember the "BYU" days and I loved Thanksgiving last year in Orem.
Other than that-I just don't know what I'm getting myself into.
I have heard that I need to keep my testimony strong so
I don't confuse the "church" with the gospel.
I've been told that I will see every sort of Jell-o concoction imaginable.
Oh...and I might be able to try out for the Mo-Tab!
We will be heading up there at the end of the school year in May and that is a huge relief to me. McKay will be in a cast until then and I would like to keep the same doctor because of the type of break. Oh yea...he broke his tibia right by the growth plate. It happened on the trampoline, but it wasn't because of the trampoline. HUGE difference! One of the neighborhood boys thought that it would be okay to try out a WWF move on his leg unbeknownst to McKay. I am so thankful to have insurance! Being in a cast bites!!!
I also caught the flu! Thanks to my good Canadian friend-J...I'm much better! She's got the good stuff (AKA contraband) thera-flu that you can't get here in the USA.
We are adjusting to living as a family of 12...good thing I decided to refill my Zoloft prescription.
And the looks that I get from the cashiers at the grocery store when I come through with 10 bags of cereal, 3 bags of chicken, 10 boxes of Popsicles, 4 gallons of milk, 2 bags of string cheese, 2 gallons of OJ, 4 bags of assorted chips, 15 things of baby food, and tons of fruit, bread....
Their expression is priceless when I tell them that this feeds a family of 12 for a week. They look at me like "Say What?!?" Then "Are they all yours ?"
Good. Times.
another two words
Spring. Break.
Holy. Cow.
Shoot. Me.
Solitary. Confinement.
Got. it?
Peace.Out.
Hungry baby!

We're so so so so so so happy! And Utah is GREAT! And man, that food you're buying sounds good. I need me some food...
Call me at Tori's!!! I got questions for you!
Ted took the cell phone with him-
Utah rocks! You will totally love it! You can find the good and the bad anywhere you look so just look for the good, it's easy to find. Remember Pollyanna's Abe Lincoln quote "If you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will." We will miss you though but are glad you are hanging out for a few more months.
Oh, I'm so jealous! I want to move back to Utah! I LOVE it there. And your friend Kathy is right... you can find the bad anywhere if you're looking for it. But there is so much more that is GOOD. And it's wonderful to be around so many saints all the time. Congrats to Ted on the job, and good luck on the move when the time comes!! I'm excited for you!
We are going to miss your family HUGE!!
It's not fair to take away so much talent. We're going to squeeze as much as we can out of you before you leave.
Keep your blog updated so we can get the low-down and have a good laugh.
Of course we'll pester Tori tons!
BTW - You've been "Crazy Mom in Paradise, the Desert,....what is UT? Crazy Mom in green jello?
LOL! Maybe you should have a survey? Hah!
We REALLY will miss you guys!!!
Yeah, but Nay! We'll be sad not to have you closer, but yeah for the job! We DEFINATELY have to do one last Finch Family get together before you leave. Let us know when a good time is! Love you guys!
You will LOVE Utah...we miss it every day.
So did Ted already start work in UT? Are we going to get together before you move? Call me....we should have you down for dinner!
I will not knock UT...because I am excited for you guys. What a sweet relief to have found a job. It may be a whole new great thing for your fam. CONGRATS!
Hooray for Teduardo and your family!!! I think you will love Utah. It has a few awesome points, like 4 diffrent season. What a concept, huh? I think you would be loved wherever you are. You will be missed here though. When is the big moving day?
Hey Adrienne! Welcome to our neck of the woods. I have to say, I still miss Calia lot (mostly just the weather and my family), but it's been great here too. We are having our baby on May 21st (induced, as always). It will be fun to see you and introduce you to our first baby boy! If you look for housing in Traverse Mountain, let us know. We just moved to a different house on the mountain from our other one so we are familiar with many of the homes available up here. We probably walked through every one! Good luck with the move. =)
If we move to Utah it will be in the Highland/Alpine Area...we keep ending up together...true friendship from HEAVEN!
I'm glad everything is working out. Maybe I missed which city you'll be living in, but is it close to your parents? Good luck
During conference, I was thinking about your beautiful voice and how you should try out for MOTAB. That would be cool. BTW- I totally agree with you about Spring Break!
