Utah, of all places...

I'm a big believer in "Everything happens for a reason". However sometimes we don't find out what that reason is for a long time. In this case, it took four years. 4 years ago, we were living in our dream Condo in perfect West Wood, California. 45 minutes away from Disney Land, 20 minutes to the beach, 70 degree weather all year round, winter looked like fall, my husband had a very highly sought after job, life couldn't get any better. we LOVED living in Los Angeles. We had made it our home. We loved our circle of friends that had become our family. We had lived there going on 4 years, which may not seem long, but it was long for us, since we had moved a lot since we had been married (we lived in Manhattan before moving to LA) Anyway, our plan was to put our roots down in California. so when his company started an office in Salt Lake City and offered it to him to head up this new office, we were thrown for a loop. This was an amazing offer for his career, and both of our families lived in UT. But we were hesitant to leave because we were so happy where we were and hadn't planed on ever leaving. We ultimately prayed about about it and felt like it was the right choice to move to Utah.  It was a tough move, and very sad to leave our dream life. I am not a winter person, and I pouted our whole first year after moving to Utah. However, as I saw how much Kaylie loved the snow, my heart softened (a little :) and I began to accept the fact that this was now our home. At Kaylie's first updose appointment, we got to meet the other moms and kids there updosing on Thursday mornings. It was fun to meet them and hear all their peanut stories and their experience so far with OIT. The first mom I talked to told me she lived in Las Vegas and she drove over 6 hrs to get here! She makes this trek every Wednesday night, stayes over in a hotel, comes to her appointment Thursday morning, then drives back to Vegas. She does the EVERY WEEK! Wow! I couldn't believe it! Then I met Amber, and she told me she had MOVED here with her kids temporarily all the way from Hawaii just to see Dr. Jones!!! Whoa. I could not believe it. I realized Dr. Jones was one of the few Dr.'s in the world to offer this program. The next week I connected with a mom on facebook, who lives in Australia, and is moving to... yep, UTAH! To give her daughter this gift of OIT. So here I am, living in Utah, of all places, not more than a 15 minute drive to Dr Jones,  and it hits me. I'm so lucky to be here.
