Much has happened around the Mallett house in the last couple weeks, it's been a bit of a roller coaster. Our house is no longer under contract, it fell through just before the end of the year. That finger crossing thing didn't work so well. It is unfortunate but we have still decided to move the middle of January. We will rent a place in Massachusetts and continue to send positive vibes out into the universe that this house will sell, and quickly.

The same reasons applied for moving the kids midyear as they did when the house was "sold". We want to be sure that we are together in Massachusetts and transitioning the kids as quickly as possible. It has been harder than we anticipated living apart.

I have been actively working on withdrawing and enrolling the kids in their new schools. We have been packing up the house and packing up a small amount of items that we will need to live with. We continue to keep the house clean for showings, it's much easier to do without all of our clutter and junk. Work, school, sports and general Utah life is still on going. We are trying to cram in visits and goodbyes. Time is running out.

The short of it is we are still moving! And soon. Nic, Ben and I will fly, and Chris, Andrew and Lucy will drive with a small U-Haul full of the necessities for the next couple months.

We will move the rest of the furniture and belongings when this house sells. Sell BABY! And we will be back to Utah often. Back when the house sells and back for many, many visits. So if we can't say farewell in person the in the coming weeks we certainly catch you the next visit.

So... if you know anyone who wants to buy fabulous house send them this way. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we transition the family to a new state.

And now for something really cute... some sledding pictures from last week.
