We are moving to Florida! Jake has a job there and we will be living in Lakeland... halfway between Tampa and Orlando. It's sudden, I know... we've been thinking of making that move for a long time and finally things came together! Jake's family lives there, so we'll live by great people, and I am planning on my family visiting from CA throughout the summer (did you hear that, family??). We are sad to leave our great friends and family in Utah (especially my sister Hannah)!! I apologize for not telling some of you more personally, but I have run out of time! We are very excited and I couldn't be more thrilled to live in such a great climate. I'm wondering what kind of experiences and adventure this next chapter of life will bring.Jake has already driven our stuff out there and has started work this week. I am staying behind with the girls to put our townhouse on the market, organize everything, tie up loose ends, etc. (and if you know anyone that is looking to buy a place in Lehi, let me know!!!). The girls and I fly out this weekend.
We are so blessed to have such an adventurous life and honestly, I LOVE MOVING and going to a new place!
Ruby asked, "Are we moving to Forida?"
"Yes"
"Is Daddy in Forida awready?"
"Yes"
"When are we moving dair?"
"We are moving there in a week."
Very, very concerned, "CAN I GO WITCH YOU GUYS???"
As if we were leaving her behind...

Sarah, I'm SO excited for you guys! You are going to love it there, the weather is amazing. I love Florida. I can't believe we would have only been 45 minutes from each other but now we are in Atlanta. It was fun having Jake and Jared here and even more fun watching Brad and Jake laughing together. Good luck with all the last minute details.
I know, I know, I should be all excited--and in many ways I am. But I get all selfish and teary-eyed and want to pile everyone in the car again, drive that thousand miles to Utah, talk about how we can't wait to hang out with Grace and Ruby. Today the air is turbulent, the waves are crashing over the jetty, my favorite kind of day. So I will enjoy the turbulence in my heart and miss my kiddos. I didn't mean for all my best friends to leave home! I love you all and know you will be happy. I will be happy, too. But passionate hearts cannot hold back the flood of emotions when it is time to say good-bye. All my love.
Hey its marens sister hayley and i just noticed you said you were selling your place in lehi and we're looking!!! Let me know some info or where i can find it... thanks, good luck in your new chapter in life! Florida will be a blast!!
Sarah, good for you guys! I will miss you, even though I see you only once every couple (5 equals a couple right?) of years, it makes me sad to know you will be on the opposite side of the US! I hope everything goes smoothly and you love it in Florida, which I am sure you will!
A tear just fell from my eye. I will miss you. I LOVE moving too and florida sounds so nice! Best wishes with everything. And I know we will meet again.
I am so excited!!!!! You are welcome to come visit Miami anytime. WE live a block away from the beach! And I know the girls would get along great. We will be in Miami until June of next year. Call me 305-310-1571 and we can chat.
How exciting for you! I love to move - the excitment of meeting new people and finding new places. I am soo jealous you are going to a warm state - it's in the 20's today! BRRR!!!
Hello, my name is Michelle. I work at Fibertek here in Florida. I asked Jake if you were one of the 4 Smylie ladies I heard is pregnant, and he told me to check out this site. I must say, you write so beautifully. I can imagine everything you describe, and I find you to be quite humerous in such a charismatic way. Also, you take such great pictures. You seem to be very artistically inclined. I just wanted to say hello, and tell you how much I enjoyed your blog, and that your girls are beutiful!
sarah - wow fast is right but hooray for new adventures and being near family is always a plus. good luck with everything esp packing and selling the townhouse which always is the stress! be good to that baby you have in there and be good to yourself - go visit kim and tell her hello for me!
Congratulations! I am so excited for such a huge move. Sarah I wish I could see you. I love your blog, it makes me miss you more. How long had it been? The answer is always too long. Maybe John and I can find a reason to come to Florida. Or better yet, you can come to the bay area. Maybe on one of your stints to CA to visit the fam you can take the scenic drive to see us!
Sarah,
I am sad you are moving...I know selfish...You will have so much fun and you WILL update your blog regularly so we know what is going on...I will miss you and keep in touch through the blog that you helped me with....
I know you will have a great time. I'm glad that I have been able to be a part of bloggin' buddies to see your life. Have fun. When you ever come back to UT. YOu have to call me up.
Whatev. . .I knew Syracuse was never a REAL option for you guys. . .
Sarah, so I guess it's official now! I am so excited you and your family are moving here! Having more of the Smylie clan to hang out with is always a plus! Not to mention one more baby for me too hold! I can't wait! Have a safe trip and I guess I'll be seeing you soon!
Wow that is a big move. Congratulations! Hope everything goes good for you and whenever you come to California let me know. How is the pregnancy doing.
I am so sad...just when we started hanging out more you up and leave!!I know our path will cross again soon...they always do...in the mean time...do I fell a tan coming on? I'm a little jealous.
Good one. Now Levi wants to go. Instead, we're on the opposite end of your new coast feeling certain that we're always missing out on a party. Don't tell any good jokes until we get there...
We will miss you. Florida sound fabulous. Can I come with you too!!!! I am freezing here. =) Sound like lots of fun at the beach ahead. Keep in touch!
It's strange how I first felt kind of sad, like you were leaving. As if I've ever met you in person. As if it changes our "relationship" were you to move to say... the moon. I mean as long as they had the internet on the moon. You'll have your internet up and running quickly right?
I LOVE change. So excited for you. It means lots of new things to take pictures of and share with us. :) GOOD LUCK!
This is great news. Granted, Utah was closer to the idea of us ever meeting were Rebecca and I ever in Utah and met up with you and your darling girls...but Florida? Florida?? It's beautiful there and I expect more pictures like the one's you have on the top of this post. Amazing, congrats. And good luck with the move.
Hey sarah!
Hey check out my blog i figured the picture out...with the help of glenny!! Thanks for inspiring me! love sarah
Are you sure you want to go...we have been having such beautiful weather today...(being sarcastic)
We are going to miss you and your kids. Have a safe flight...
