Where would we live?
if you guys could leave the Air Force tomorrow and Mike would have a job wherever you chose to live where would it be?
Any of the above houses will do, really.
But, I guess you aren't really asking what house I'd live in, you were asking where I'd live. Initially, we would both probably say Utah because most of my family is still there and it is probably where I would claim as home. The thing is though, the longer we live away from Utah the less it feels like home. My family lives in Elk Ridge, Provo, Orem, and Salt Lake. Of those, Provo is where I would most consider my home--I lived there longer than anywhere else. When I lived in Provo I was in college and then later newly married. Provo was a really good place for me to be.
Would we move back? Probably someday we will move back to Utah and we hope all my family isn't gone by then.
Until then, we are really happy being together as a little family, growing on our own. We miss our families a lot but we have so far been happy every where we lived. We both know that it isn't the house, the ward, the state, etc., that creates happiness (even though they all help). I'm pretty sure we could be happy anywhere we end up.

It's been good for the kids.
Now that I'm getting up in the grandparent era I'd be happy if my kids chose to stick around...But I'm ok with traveling if thats what it takes!!
You can always come back to OKC...where the wind comes sweeping down the plain!!
