Arizona Life

I do have to say that I was skeptical of moving to Arizona. I enjoyed the comforts of my life in Utah; our home and my career just worked. However with that said I was struggling having my husband out of town so often.


Solution to the problem = Resign from my job, find a house and move with my husband to Arizona. I have to say this was the best decision I have made since I said "I do" in 2007. We mad dashed to find a home and found exactly what we needed in an area that we really wanted.


Now I have been working for 15 years with time off to birth each of my children, otherwise I have been a career woman. For the first time ever I am now learning to be a Family Manager or Domestic Goddess! Being a stay at home mother and wife has proven to be far more challenging that I had ever thought. There is so much to do and you find that you have to really utilize your time wisely. I have enjoyed creating a routine to keeping a clean and happy home.


With that said I have also been blessed with an amazing husband that has also allowed me the opportunity to take care of me too! Shortly after we moved here in late August I found an amazing YMCA and immediately joined! I have committed to going to the YMCA at least 3 days each week and have thoroughly enjoyed it. In addition I committed to doing at least 30 minutes of my Gold's Gym Shape Boxing on the Wii 4 days weekly. Its amazing how much exercise alone has changed my life and my attitude towards life. I am loving it! It has been a joy to get up at 4:30 each morning with my husband and see him off to work. Then I have time to get ready for the day, go online, read emails, pay bills, and some days just sit and have a cup of coffee with a great book prior to taking the kids to school.

Moving to Arizona so far has been absolutely life changing!
