guess what...

my parents are moving.

TO OHIO

of all places!

I never imagined my parents living in the midwest! Ohio is now where I will spend my summer vacations and Christmas breaks. It's a bittersweet occasion, hearing about this move. There are good things that come out of it along with the bad.

MOVING TO OHIO

PROS

experience something different

meet new people

quality time with my family during long breaks

Kasey gets to go to a new high school (this could also be a con)

the green!! trees & grass & no mountains!

we may still be keeping our Utah home

my brother & his wife will rent to live in our home if we do keep it

with the house, I will always have a place to stay

Katie & Colin may move out there too, so Katie will have my mom when she has a newborn

CONS

my mom & dad & little sis will be far away

I won't be able to visit them when I come home for weekends

my parents will miss the lives of the grandchildren growing up

there isn't much to do in Ohio I hear

the humidity...

my parents haven't been able to experience all of Utah like they wanted

cost of many plane tickets

Kasey won't have instate tuition for Utah

I am coming to terms with this move and even though I'm really sad, a part of me is excited to visit Ohio in the summer. But then again, another part of me is sad to be missing out on Utah in the summer. See the dilemma? 

p.s. I should be studying for my finals this week, but somehow I keep getting distracted...
