Announcing...

No, I'm not pregnant (thank goodness)...BUT...I am announcing our move to Gilbert, Arizona! Now that Jeff has graduated, we decided to try our luck in finding a job in another state. We chose Arizona (Phoenix area) because of the saturation of software jobs, the great family area (which is Gilbert), and, of course the great weather (at least that's what I think. Or better weather than we are currently having here in American Fork). Jeff found an awesome job, and we are beside ourselves. It is a great one:) I am originally from Tucson, and my parents both live there still, so it will be nice to have a  hour drive to see them instead of a 13. We have two weeks and are pretty panicked. But excited!

 A couple of facts about Gilbert:

-Fastest growing municipality in the United States from 1990-2003. U.S. Census Bureau
-Currently the 4th fastest growing municipality in the United States. U.S. Census Bureau - 2009

-Ranked by CNN's Money magazine in 2008 as one of the best places to live in the United States.
-34.5% of Gilbert residents hold a bachelor’s degree or higher.
-Highest household median income in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area with Population 50,000+ U.S. Census Bureau 2005

-Gilbert was recognized in 2010 as the "36th Best Place to Live in the nation",^[3] as well as among the

nation's "top places to live and learn"^[3] by GreatSchools.org

Cool, huh?! We have signed a small lease on an apartment so we can save up to buy a nice house within the year. We are so excited that our life as a family is starting out at such a great place, and a great time! We will miss all of our friends and family in Utah, but promise to visit often (Christmas is my favorite in Utah). I might not post for a while, seeing as how we have less than TWO WEEKS to pack up and move (Jeff starts May 31st). Oh, and if you have any boxes that you don't need, we will take them off your hands!
