What a way to start 2009. A week before Christmas we got some exciting news that has turned our holidays upside down. We have to move:) Scott got a new boss at work who wants him traveling 3 weeks a month, Aunt Sue's doctor wants her on the main level and interest rates are low which all add up to a move. We ended up home for the holidays for the first time in 14 years. I had a nasty cold, bad weather, starting to pack for the move and Scott had a big work load so we did not travel like usual. We canceled our plans last minute and stayed home. We enjoyed a white Christmas and loved being with Aunt Sue and Bella. We stayed warm and enjoyed the soft falling snow outside while we had a fire and the tree lights glowing. I made prime rib for the first time ever and it was a huge hit. I did not even taste it as I do not eat any kind of red meat. The holiday was peaceful. Then we drove around the next few days looking for homes and neighborhoods that we like. We have to have a main floor bedroom for Aunt Sue, close access to the airport for Scott, and a big kitchen for me:) I will really miss our fantastic views, my huge tub, tall ceilings, and the seclusion I feel we have now. We have things narrowed down and met on Monday to finalize things. I really have a hard time with things up in the air. I know we are moving but where to, how soon and when are a mystery. Marlene keeps reminding me to breathe. We met with our awesome Stake Presidency and I cried after. I just love these men and I have loved my calling with the YW. The women I have served with are my dear friends. Scott will be harder to replace as it is not issued at a Stake level. We have been here for over 8 years! That is lots of memories. Change is good and being uncomfortable is not the end of the world. But I sure do like to have things planned out better so I am going learning to be patient. I am trusting Scott. He reminds me so much of my dad in the whole sales process. He tells me to keep quite and let him play hard ball. It is a buyers market right now- there are 100's of choices. So here's to a new adventure in 2009.

I didn't know you were moving! Why are you moving? And, are you staying close to your current house?
WOW!!! big news! i sure hope the best for you guys ~ please keep me posted on the new address so we can keep in touch!
hey Missy remeber to stay calm! if you need any help let paul and me know! Also i we would like your new address when you get it!
So I am sure that it was hard to tell President Kunz that you would be moving. I know that your ward and Stake are losing to awesome people. Scott will be hard to replace as Bishop and I know the Young Women will miss you a tons. Good luck with the move. Hope you are able to find a great home in an awesome neighborhood. We will miss seeing you at the church but know that we will continue to keep in touch thanks to Marlene.
My dad said that you were moving. That's not fair...you are not suppose to move. Who are we going to hang out with?
